Guest guest Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Well, this is not necessarily an official pleastic netti pot, but my darling 2 1/2 yo daughter got a plastic (much to my shegrin as we do natural toys) tea set for Christmas. She did not know what to make of the stuff, but started to do her 2 1/2 yo stuff and make it up as you go and she promptly took the small plastic tea pot, dipped it into the cat dish and said---------------------Mama, look, I have my own netti pot. Well, since then, she has had a cold and has reached for her 'netti pot' and went through the motions of using it-------we went to the tub----I got her all set up with the solution and she used it! So, some gifts at first glance are confusing, but now we have a plastic netti pot (and a bunch of plastic forks and cups etc for playing in the tub. A plastic netti pot can be found at a thrift store or Toys R Us in the plastic tea set section!

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 hello again i have had good luck finding Netti Pots on eBay in assorted sizes, styles, and materials. i also once found some discounted small plastic watering pots for a buck apiece that were perfect. you can always sand down the spout to make sure it's not sharp. the child's teapot sounds darling, a regular teapot might do as well in a pinch. my problem is i always end up giving them away & my kids keep stealing/borrowing mine. can one ever have enough Netti Pots? lol. i think not. smooch hattie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 I'm wondering why you all even use a netti pot. I just mix up salt water solution, pour it in my hand and " snort " it. It works great and no equipment needed other than the cup for salt water! Can someone enlighten me??? Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 I don't like " snorting " anything. I think I watched too many " don't do drugs " movies as an adolescent and they happened to work on me:) Krista Krista Boos Creative Memories Senior Consultant Memory Keeping at Its Best!

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 How about a small plant watering pot? Just cut off the spout, like someone else suggested, and file it smooth. (And I don't use salt water, just warm filtered water.) Warmly, beth In a message dated 2/20/2006 5:04:02 P.M.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 I've used a Netti pot in the past when I've had a cold in my sinuses. Lately I've been using the Xlear nasal wash in those situations, which thankfully have gotten rather infrequent. I also recently saw some drops for adding to the water in the Netti pot, I can't remember what was in it. Do any of you add anything to the water besides salt? How effective is it without the salt? Also, are you guys using as a preventative measure, as part of your regular hygeine? Or (I hope not) are y'all suffering from a lot of sinus issues?

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Hi Mara, I use kosher sea salt in my neti pot. When I learned how to do it the person said Iodized salt may burn. I've never tried it to find out. I use it on an occasional basis when my mucous membranes (in the nose) feel like they are starting to get dry. In order to do their job well, they need to be moist. I did see something on the news not that long ago that an ENT (ear, nose, throat) physician recommend neti wash for her patients and found it to be very effective for those who suffer from allergies and also as a means to prevent colds. It flushes out all of the irritants and bacteria lurking where it isn't wanted. She had a 'recipe' that included salt and maybe baking soda, but I like it with just the salt myself. Since we are talking about it, I'm going to do a neti wash tonight. My nose always feels so much better afterwards and breathing seems easier. " Do any of you add anything to the water besides salt?
