Neti Pot

This is a ceramic pot, non-porous, used for rinsing the nose and sinuses. People with chronic infections of the sinus passages and/or allergies to pollens or molds may want to experiment with this ancient Ayurvedic therapy. 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.

Contents: white ceramic neti pot.
