Due to undesirable weather conditions, we were unable to practice neti in class yesterday morning (bummer!!)
However, being the enterprising individuals that we are, we purchased ourselves our very own neti bottles and cleansed our nasal passages on our own. Unfortunately we still do not have the rubber tubes you use for flossing, although I may pick some up today.
Here is the wikipedia article on neti: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasal_irrigation
The benefits of the treatment include:
- Clearer vision due to cleaning of the tear ducts
- Decreased use of medication
- Deeper, more relaxed breathing
- Improved sense of smell and taste
- Improved sinus-related quality of life
- Reduction of symptoms
If you're interested in getting a neti bottle... maybe we can pick one up for you. We can get some fairly small, travel-friendly sized plastic neti bottles here for cheap, so let us know!
