netti pot

**mood:sleepy
**noise:the air

have you ever seen one of these?

it's called a netti pot. i bought one this weekend to see if it would remove all the crud in my nose and hence...cease the snoring i seem to have taken up within the past month or so. this is the premise...you dissolve a sodium mixture in warm water and place it in this little pot. you slide the spout into your poor nostril and tilt your head allowing the water to flow into your nose. if you're in the 'right' position, the water flows through your nose and out the other nostril. if you're not in the right position, you feel a lot of pressure and then it all comes out your mouth. neither one of them is a pleasant experience. but i have to admit. i am breathing tons better than before. if you have nasal problems and want to try a natural way, i do recommend this option...but remember it is not comfortable. ohh...and when your pregnant and the water flows down your throat, you get the added gag reflux. but again, breathing is easier.
