Glad I could help and yes of course, not all the saline solution will go through the nasal passage so some may come back out of the nostril that the tip was inserted into.

[@allytubefly]

Hi. Just got my Neti to try and clear post nasal drip problem. Your video is an excellent demo but when using find that one side ( L-R) works exactly as you show but on the other side ( R-L) the I’m not getting the flow through . Any thoughts or suggestions please ? Paul

[@AbrahamThePharmacist]

Thank you for reaching out Paul - glad to hear that you found the video helpful for using your Neti pot. It's not uncommon to experience differences in flow between the left and right nostrils when using a Neti pot. Here are a few suggestions that might help improve the flow on the side where you're experiencing difficulties: Nasal Congestion: Check if there's any congestion or blockage in the nostril that's affecting the flow. Head Positioning: Ensure that your head positioning is consistent for both nostrils. Sometimes a slight tilt or adjustment in head position can make a difference in flow. Experiment with different angles to find what works best for you. Breathing: Focus on your breathing during the process. Taking slow, deep breaths through your mouth can sometimes help facilitate the flow of the saline solution through the nostrils. Adjustment of the Neti Pot: Try adjusting the angle at which you hold the Neti pot. Tilting it slightly more or less can sometimes affect the flow, so experiment with different positions to see if that helps. Nasal Cycle and Vasomotor Rhinitis: Keep in mind that the nose has a nasal cycle where every 2-6 hours, it rotates. One side congests while the other side relaxes. This is an autonomic process and can affect the flow during Neti pot usage. Additionally, conditions like vasomotor rhinitis can also impact nasal airflow. Deviated Septum: If you suspect a deviated septum, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation. A deviated septum can indeed affect nasal airflow and may require specific techniques or interventions for effective use of the Neti pot. If you continue to experience difficulties despite trying these suggestions, it might be helpful to consult with a healthcare professional or an experienced practitioner for personalized guidance. Hope this helps and sending awesome vibes!

[@MrGullyness]

Hey thanks for the great walk-through! Quick Question: Why is the solution coming out of my mouth and not my other nostril?

[@user-xy4js1rl4k]

Other Neti pot tutorials suggest adding Iodine Drops in the solution. What’s your thoughts on this ?

[@AbrahamThePharmacist]

Absolutely not a good idea with a neti pot - sending awesome vibes!

[@19jainaLynn95]

My sinuses are blocked but whats stopping my breathing through the nose is actually swollen nasal passages. Will a neti pot still help?

[@matthewfinnegan6839]

The best non surgical thing to try is steroid spray. My ENT described it as basically an Inhaler for your nose. If you go see a doctor you can get the high strength stuff prescribed otherwise you can buy the low strength stuff over the counter (look up Flonase). I would say a neti pot will still help though. The best thing I’ve found is using the Neti Pot to clear out my sinuses, jumping in a hot shower and then two sprays of steroid spray into each nostril. (Source years of nose and sinus issues) been doing that each morning for the last week and been getting more relief from it than just using either steroid sprays or neti pots separately

[@Bamapride1985]

Did you ever try it out?

[@yamloveswine]

Thank you! I just bought it and it's so easy to use. 🙏💗🙏🌟👍😊👍 P.S. Once I'm out of salt sachets, where do I buy more?

Great question - Always best to stick to non-iodized powdered salt for the saline rinse - sending awesome vibes!

[@lovelearn5158]

when taking prescribed steroid nasal sprays for allergic rhinitis, can you still use the neti pot? I guess do the netipot treatment first and then take the nasal spray?

[@AbrahamThePharmacist]

Good question! After using the rinse, you may continue using your nasal spray as normal. You may even notice that they work better - sending awesome vibes

[@Roscoethecat]

Does it do any damage to use cold water? I've found it feels a lot better with cold water.

[@AbrahamThePharmacist]

Good question. As long as you have boiled the water and made your saline solution. You can then let it cool down to room temperature and use with our Neti pot sinus rinse bottle.

[@tarapooh99]

So we can’t use the water straight from the fridge that’s filtered

[@dee4174]

​@@tarapooh99from what I have found even filtered water should be boiled and then cooled. There is a rare bacteria that can infect the brain if you don't do this. Or you could buy a bottle of distilled water and use that straight from the fridge.

[@chrisdt1246]

Can we use dead sea salts or himalayan salt?

[@2000sancho]

Can you use purified water?

[@AbrahamThePharmacist]

To make your saline solution, mix one teaspoon of non-iodized powdered salt with 300 mL (10 oz) of boiled and sterilized water. Do not use tap or faucet water to dissolve the mixture unless it has been previously boiled and cooled down. Allow the mixture to cool to a tepid temperature before using it with your Neti Pot Sinus Rinse Bottle to avoid overheating, damaging the device or scalding your nasal passage - hope this helps

When i switch sides halfway into the process, i don't get the same velocity from the rinse, so it just drips at a slow rate

[@AbrahamThePharmacist]

Great comment! The varying airflow from one nostril to the other during nasal irrigation with a neti pot is a normal part of the nasal cycle, influenced by factors like the current phase of the cycle, head position, congestion levels, and individual anatomy. It's essential to maintain proper technique, including using the correct saline concentration, tilting the head for drainage, and gently blowing the nose afterward. Persistent or severe congestion should prompt consultation with a healthcare professional for further evaluation. Sending awesome vibes!
