Neti Pot Ceramic Blue

How to use a Neti Pot?
To use the Neti Pot, simply prepare a saline solution by adding 8 oz of warm water and a heaping ¼ teaspoon of non-iodized salt to your Neti Pot. If the water tastes like tears, it has the correct concentration. Keep your mouth open and continue to breath only through your mouth during the entire procedure. Then turn your head to the side, and insert the spout into the upper nostril. Raise the Neti Pot so the saline solution flows into the nose and out of the lower nostril.
