The way the pot is used is that the head is tilted so that the fluid can be easily introduced into one nostril in a manner that permits it to flow out the other. This may be a little uncomfortable for some people, but the treatment can be performed in about three minutes. It is important to breathe through the mouth and remain relaxed.
