Re: Neti Pot -- was Dark Circles

[Guest guest]

I've found an easily available substitute for a ceramic neti pot -- I

use the little bulb " syringes " that are sold (in baby gear sections

everywhere) for clearing mucus from a baby's nose. The bulb is about

the size of a plum, and there is a small conical tip -- no " syringe

tube " to speak of. Just mix your solution in a cup or bowl, then

suck up some into the baby bulb, squirt gently into your nostril and

repeat until you run out of solution.

When you finish, flush the bulb with some soapy water and rinse it

out very well – you don't want any soap residue in there the

next

time you use it!

I also add a touch of baking soda to the saline solution – it

helps

buffer it and reduces the salt sting.
