The Only Thing That Goes Up My Nose These Days

For any of you with sinus or allergy problems:
I have annoying allergies and every winter end up with at least one major sinus infection that has to be cleared up with antibiotics and steroids. This winter I’ve been using a neti pot and realized today that except for one cold, have stayed well for several months. My daughter calls it my nose watering can…using warm salt water you flush out your nasal passages with it (remember how easy it was to breath after spending the day in the ocean?) It’s an ancient Ayurvedic technique known as Jala neti, which literally means nasal cleansing in Sanskrit. It’s a little weird to use at first and sounds kind of gross but it really works.
