nope its not a tea pot, its a neti pot.
im sure some of you out there may have already heard of it. it is wonderful. my mother in law has been trying to get garran and i to try it every time we get sick or are struggling with allergies. we always smiled and were kind of like "no thanks". well recently garran was not feeling well and got desperate. he tried it. he went on and on about how great it was and how he could tell a difference. well low and behold this week i got sick. now let me say i suffer with sinus stuff constantly. if its not a cold i totally suffer from allergies. so anyways garran kept telling me i should try it. so finally a few nights ago i did.
~this is what it looks like when you do it~
( i know not the coolest or prettiest. garran gladly took a picture of me doing it, but i opted to use this lady that was on oprah. )
oh my goodness, what a difference. i am a believer in the neti pot. its a little awkward but with this cold i have hardly had any sinus issues which i did when it started. this little pot cleans it all out and relieves the pressure. it takes a little while to get used to and never use really cold water. garran learned that the hard way. it really burns. you have to use like luke warm water. anyways i thought this might be helpful during this season of what seems to be constant sickness!

Where do you get the pots?
Using cold water would be horrible! That made me laugh out loud!
Too strange. I think I'm still in the smile, but politely decline stage. Maybe try me again next year.
Hey man... if you are desperate enough, you'll stick a suppository up your butt... if ya know what I'm sayin'... ;o)
I saw some Neti Pots for sale at Walgreens in the Pharmacy area.
*Haven't had a cold yet, but Jaren does... SOOOOOOO I'll probably be buying one for ME in a few days! ;o)
I have used something like this that my surgeon gave me after I had sinus surgery. As soon as I feel a cold or aleries comming on I use it. Love it.
I laughed when I read Garran used cold water too! Ouch.
