  • dont use tap water.

    possible infections/brain rot

  • I bought mine in 2004 from an Indian company, and it was the best purchase I've ever made. I was hesistant as many are, but was absolutely desperate for relief. The technique shown here and most others is what's called Stage 1, but there's a Stage 2 technique which thoroughly cleans the sinuses, which you draw the water into your mouth (is shown on the DVD that comes with the pot), which gets everything out and the relief is enormous. Then you blow your nose very gently to get the water out.

  • You can use canning/pickling salt or even rock salt that is ground very fine (I use a morter and pestle + tea strainer). The salt used simply needs to be pure salt (table salt generally contains idodine and anti-clumping agents). A good recipe is 1/2 tsp salt + 1/4 baking soda + warm water-- it really saves money to make your own neti pot 'salt'. :-)

  • @aradiapaganus erm-- I forgot to give measurements for 1/4 tsp baking soda and 8oz warm water. Sorry. Getting sleepy here. :-P

  • I'm weirdly attracted to you...? What can I say, I love sexy nerds. :/ <333333

  • I remember this dude from "techTV" kinda miss that show..

  • @doomwaffle20001 You hold your breath when you do it. It takes a little getting used to but it really helps me. I suffer from severe allergies.

  • I recently had a septoplasty to fix my deviated septim and have had serious inflammation and stuffed up nostrils since the procedure. Going to try one of these tomorrow for some relief until the process heals up, and probably after because I have the same issues as you.

  • I came here when i saw Cougar Town do it!

  • hi, this is just a tip that i've come across, but I've read that it's important to blow your nose extremely gently after using the neti pot. The way you're doing it in this video may actually cause more sinus irritation. It's one of the most common mistakes.

  • Gosh, so much conditioning. Be free for humanity's sake.

  • holla if GRIZZLY BEAR SENT YOU HERE!!!!

  • i want fuck this geeky little guy in his ass. hes really too cute

  • i use table salt and it works just fine...

  • lol jw, why do u have a tabel at the tope of ur stairs?

  • jajajajajaj jajajaj nigga gettin biddies on youtube

  • I tried this out and i am absolutely impressed with how well this works! for the first time in my life I was able to breathe easily through my nose without any straining loud noise. :D

  • Is this the guy from Call for Help on tech tv back in the day?

  • @hemaybedead sure is

  • HE FUCKEN TAKES FOREVER! JUST FUCKEN PUT THE POT ON YO NOSE!

  • Mineral oil is much more sanitary.

  • what a goofball

  • does that really help ? I have a virus and I need to get rid of it becuase I'm allergic against the virus. ?????

  • OMG I feel like crap and this made me laugh!!! Thanks...I think I might be investing in one of these things....

  • This guy reminds me of Leonard from The Big Bang Theory

  • That happens when you first start using the neti pot. Especially if you're totally stuffed up from alergies or if you're sick. Best way to do this is in the shower. Try it three or four times in a HOT shower. The steam will help loosen up the boogers :) Trust me, i totally had the same thing happen to me the first time i used it. :)

  • I need someones help! i used a neti pot in my right nostril and after 10 or so seconds and it only dripped out of my left nostril. it felt like the water was stuck in my right nostril so i stopped. keeping my head in the titlted position i blew out gently. i dont know why he exhales hard, all the instructions say that that is bad and can give you ear infections, but i feel like i might have one????

  • do you have to use a neti pot or can you just use a tea pot

  • @creepermagnet01

    uhhh, don't use a teapot if you ever plan on putting tea in it again...

  • You can use plain non-iodized salt in a net pot.

  • DOESNT WORK IF U HAVE A BROKEN NOSE

  • How did you keep the water from going down your throat? I couldn't. Maybe I didn't tip my head right?

  • shut the fuck up, really...... REALLY.

  • my mom is getting me a neti pot today! im sick and my nose is stuffy so she showed my it online and i thought i might try it out... YAY SHE IS HERE AND SHE SAID SHE HAS IT GTG!

  • why are you doing it next to the stairs? for safety reasons?

  • omg he's so cuteeee. <3

  • I HAVE THE SAME SHIRT

  • Snotty Pots??? LOL

  • ha ha ha ha!!  Did it work, Chris??

  • Thanks, for your help! -- Very well done!

  • @LydiLouiKats You're welcome!

  • ha thanks man

  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt and warm water

  • I'm gonna go try it right now... hope this works... thanks for the demo

  • Cool Video. Motivational. My doc just recommended me it today and also pointed me to following video:

    Time for me to give it a try.

  • I just tried it, it doesnt work for me :S

  • i just did this and i didnt blow like pluging up one nostril like he did and im just fine

  • so boring to watch. a teaspoon of what?! what is the powder you put in there? your blog is so clogged up

  • @sagatyba I pretty sure it's salt.

  • thanks :) but there are many kinds of salt, i was wondering if MgSO4 is best

  • @sagatyba I'm pretty sure it's salt.

  • something about you is very very cute. idk if its the jew or the sinus problems but you are ADORABLE.

  • LOOOL @ Jimmy Hoffa. Gotta Love the geeks. They make the world go round.

  • can using just warm water and table salt work the same??

  • I just realized I was tipping my head with you as you poured xD I just bought one and am kind of nervous to use it but this made me laugh so I'm a little less tense now so thanks!!

  • wow, what a jew

  • @jeff61177 how is he a jew? Cause he's smart? Bravo.

  • @diphenhydramineHC no, because he's got a big jewy nose and listen to him, wow what a jew.

  • I have to say I lived with congestion for years and years and finally went to an ENT (Ear Nose Throat) specialist. Diagnosis? Polyps is my sinuses - very badly. So, if you can afford it or got insurance, by all means, check it out. You'll feel 150% better. You'll also want to visit an allergist to make sure you're not allergic to anything that would make those polyps worse.

  • So freaking long for no reason... Turd!

  • i seriously thouht you was on about the drug and i thought you was just.. doing it wrong.

  • im sick as crap and I laughed till I coughed and cried!!!! You guys are funny!!!

  • Nice vid, your funny :)

  • Now I know what a Neti Pot is.

  • can u use ex vergin olive oil

  • is this his mom telling him how to do this?

  • This guy looks exactly like J.J. Abrams!!!!!!!

  • I just bought mine this morning at Wal Mart. I am using this in place of the nasal spray I became addicted to since last December

  • okay. i have got to tell you. if you have ever suffered with sinus problems...allergies...nasal congestion. This.... is... the best thing ever. I just did it the other night. And i cant believe i waited so long.

    it was almost a religious experience.

    and yes...

    Its well worth the horror.

    so if you're on the fence. you are retarded. try this.

  • theres a easier way. go google neilmed sinus rinse. its what i do. its a small bottle. has small packets like 50 of em. just shogve some hot water in the bottle pour the packet shake shove botle in ur nose squeeze end of story

  • ROFL

    6:55 - 6:58

    That's what she said . xD

  • you're cute!

  • thats gotta feel so weird

  • "someone on TV", huh? That "someone" is the great Dr. Oz. At least give credit where credit is due.

  • the new way to do cook

  • i love mine it came with the salt stuff in little 1 dose packets tho

  • Haha He's doing it at the kitchen table...gross

  • ummm, it takes several uses to really work. I used to get sinus infections consistantly, I've been using a neti pot daily for the last 3 years and have not had one single sinus problem since starting. Those of you who use it one time and expect to be cured like a miracle, you're expecting too much. It takes regular use.

  • 6:53 through 7:05....

    so sexual.

  • Comment removed

  • cocaine.... it thins your nasal passages

    LOL, use at your own discretion

  • thanks for that tip.. it worked!

  • lol

  • I just used one of these Neti Pots, and it didn't work at all! I'm actually more stuffed up now...AFTER I used this thing.

  • Thanks for posting this video! Especially for posting the video of your first time using it. I've had sinus problems for a long time, and this might just work.

  • I usually don't like liquids put into my nose, I didn't even like getting the swine flu nasal "spray" thing.

  • As a daily cocaine user, this works great when you get crappy blow with lots of cut

  • @arthurkitchen ......true that.....you probably live up north tho.....alot of cut is a rarity down here.

  • @Twala13 Damn I wish! Indiana blows for blow LOL! Invite me down to where you are!!!!

  • @arthurkitchen word!

  • Nice of you to post this and great vid until you used the oil. Please people NEVER put any oil up your nose. Doing so can lead to something call lipid pneumonia. The best way to keep nasal passages moist and healthy is to keep well hydrated. Always drink plenty of water, and try to keep environment at the correct humidity. Also, using the neti pot with the salt is the way to keep the passages moist, contrary to thinking it will dry them out, it actually helps keep them moist.

  • OMG this is the funniest thing I've ever seen. I looked the exact same when I first used my neti!

  • I love my neti pot. It's really pretty easy to do and I look forward to it now.

  • bravery my friend. bravery. congrats

  • mistreating your nose? whaaaatever. neti pots rule. i have avoided the dreaded, yearly round of sinus infections ever since i bought one and learned how to use it properly.

    you should give it a try.

  • just bought one yesterday!

  • Very interesting!

  • I was thinking about getting one--I've never been able to swim without holding my nose shut. Is that an important skill?

  • Kind of like waterboarding for the nose.

  • ugh can someone help me? when i ever i use it, the water doesnt seem to go through my nasal quickly to the other side and if it does, not a lot of the yucky, mucus water comes out, is there something blocking in my nose? i have nasal problems :[

  • i have horrible problems with congestion, i should try this. i can't even breathe through my nose!

  • same, every spring and winter

  • f-ing minging... and snot etc. isn't what makes you feel stuffy, like tommylane said it's due to swelling. also sticking your finger up your nose flattens the little hairs that stop allergens, germs and dirt from getting into your body and putting unsanitized objects into your nose can introduce germs too. i really don't see the benefits of this neti pot, what you say it does is the complete opposite to what it's actually doing to your body. stick with tech

  • But you do know the neti pot works like a charm, right? I've been using it for months.

  • good for you, hope you and your mistreated nostrils have fun ^^

  • The neti pot is a technique that has been used for many, many centuries, hellrosemarie. Just because you're skeptical doesn't make you a genius. It's older than you were thought of. Get over it. At least it uses nature's own, salt and water. Purfied water and salt won't ruin the body. Salt also helps the pH balance of the body.

    If one doesn't sanitize their product, let them live with it. Stick to your tech, but that's very close-minded.

  • I'm all for nature doing it's job and I know that my body is natural and can cope without me forcing stuff into it. Our noses are designed to cope with allergens and germs. Just because something is old doesn't mean it works or that it's right. If you like your body to be natural let it get on with it itself. And if I was getting paid to produce tech vids I would stick with it, I'm not saying i'm closed to anything else, just that when I subscribe to a tech channel I expect tech.

  • So that means we shouldn't bathe, pee in a toilet, or wash our hands. Nice.

    Technology doesn't mean fancy gadgets like cell phones or fancy pens with radios. Health has it's own version. Does it need to be battery powered for you?

  • Breathing is your body's way of living something in my above comment I was praising, washing hands and going to the toilet do not involve pouring liquids into orifices that aren't supposed to have liquids froced into them. As the women said your body reacts by trying not to drown. And yes in this day and age I expect tech to be something that is driving us forward,so ancient teapots used to force things into my nostrils I don't see appropriate for this channel. Maybe a history or health channel?

  • Clearly you've never had a nasty case of Sinusitis or suffer from allergies all year round. I currently have a pulsating headache from a sinus infection and I'm seriously considering this because I don't want to have to pump antibiotics into me every time I get a sinus infection. I had tried to let my body handle it on its own in the past and that led to the infection getting even worse, not better. Sometimes, the body needs a bit of a helping hand to keep itself healthy.

  • i've put my argument forward, nothing left to say, hope you feel better soon, gl

  • If you ever experienced chronic sinusitis, you would know that there is no known cure outside of surgery. This is the only thing that actually works. The anti-biotic/steroids are only temporary.

    Nature doesn't always do it's job. That's why people get sick. If you have a sinus infection that doesn't go away within a couple of weeks, you need to seek some type of remedy. It won't go away on its own.

    Shut the fuck up

  • lol this is all a month ago at least, give it a rest, i get it you all love the neti pot, fab :D

  • @hellorosemarie

    haha yeah i was just messin ive never used one anyways. lol peace

  • You shouldn't have put the comma after "youtube" in the description.

  • @Boonchocks lol what are you, the grammar police?

  • I used to do this with a small cup, table salt and a whole lot of nerve. Just sucked it in and tried to keep it in there a little while and the blow it out. Repeat on other nostril. Although not as effective as your "pro-model", it worked better than anything commercial going.

    Keep Imei around, she's nice. :)

  • we want tech!

  • Check out the other 2,500 videos in my channel, dude. Can you do the math?

  • Good one

  • Just ignore it Chris, it is a nice temporary change of pace.

  • I tried a neti-pot, but didn't know about the sesame oil.

  • COME ON!!!

    MORE TECH!!!

  • It's not just the mucus in your nose that is stuffing it up. The turbinates are swollen from allergy or environmental irritation. The idea is to keep the mucus membranes in the nose clean and free from allergens so that less allergic reaction will occur which will in turn keep the turbinates

    from swelling and blocking your nasal passages.

  • 5:20 - 5:50

    That's what she said!

  • I hope you don't use that bowl for cooking for guests. LoL

  • Chris, your nasal passages are probably NOT stuffed up, but the walls are contracting to eachother. Don't ask me how to fix it, but if you ever take a super powered flashlight at hand, when you feel stuffed up, angle yourself so that you see up your nostril in a mirror, shine the flashlight in, and if you see your flesh... um... going toward eachother, your nostrils are closing up on you.

  • "I feel like I'm in a bun". Chris you sure give classic funny quotes.

  • nice mirror

  • This is colonic irrigation for the nose

  • 5:57 Siamese cat

  • Thanks for that i was eating when i started this vid and now i cant get my food down...i hope your happy

  • Wow thats a lot of shit coming out of your nose. Keep up the good (excellent) work

  • Disgusting chris...

  • in some advert for a cold remedy they said that being 'stuffed up' was due to the blood vessels restricting in the nassal passage

  • I did this, this morning, I wish I recorded it, I was so flemmed up.

  • I prefer Neilmed Sinus Rinse bottle, cause you able force the stuff that get stuck up there.

  • haha, there are stairs right behind Chris and it looks like if he took the wrong stem he would fall

  • This is just great. So many people have allergies and one girl got an infection because of all the drainage going into her lungs. The Neti Pot will allow her to clean out the drainage without going into her lungs! Just perfect!! She also said her nose gets raw inside so the oil will help her also! Thanks so much Yourlilchinagirl!!

  • OMG Chris I could not stop laughing!!

    It was like the time you had the laugh attack on TecTV!!

  • holy shit lulz

  • Lol 8:53

  • Hey Chris. I have a natural treatment you can try. Worked great for me & for others & recommended it to. It's called Echinacea - Goldenseal Complex. It's natural & is Great for allergy's & congestion. When you 1st start taking it take 2 times the recommended amount for the 1st 2 day's. You can't overdose so no worries. then take it according to the directions. in about 5 to 12 day's you'll notice a Huge difference. Take it with vitamins C,E, & Magnesium & Zinc. Trust me You'll love it !

  • I have a similar thing which I use when my nose is stuffed. Difference is that I just mix a salt solution and use that. Sesame oil is specifically for "dried up" nostrils which can be natural or caused by the humidity of where you work/sit. Ive struggled with the same kinda thing for my entire life. Had to do an operation to "realign" my sinus cos it was crooked and one nostril was almost blocked. It really affects your life quality if you dont do something about it...

    Good luck! :)

  • hahahaha look at his face hahahaha 8:49

  • "Your body is going to do what it does to not drown"? Why do people drown then? Why doesn't you body do what it does to stop the reasons you would do something as stupid as this. Don't do it. This Neti pot is pure quackery. At least get the opinion of a real science based Dr.

  • And I suppose you're a Dr.?

    I seem to have read quite a bit of history where what was thought to be science was pure idiocy.

  • Really? Science pure idiocy, huh? I guess you are saying that from the comfort of you isolated hut in the depths of the jungle?

  • Like I said, old things that were thought to be scientifically true were proven wrong. I think you need a refresher course on reading comprehension because I did not say that Science itself was pure idiocy. But that it has been wrong in the past.

    Not everyone swims with nose-plugs. I don't and I can go pretty deep underwater.

  • that was funny.

  • just wolf down some wasabi. clears EVERYTHING

  • I see the cat at 3:13!

  • Ironic you would post this video Chris, I've been looking at Neti pots for months now to treat my Sinusitis. It's intimidating! Don't know if I'm ready for drowning myself :P

  • can i buy that used water on eBay?

  • lol

  • THATS WHAT SHE SAID 7:19

  • THATS WHAT SHE SAID 5:29 AND 5:38

  • The squeeze bottle is way easier to use.

  • i known its method! when my myther go tu yoga klasis wher she learning thet but ther wei duze onli solt woter & no oil they just dry nos with special brithing metod may be i make a video response to show how its luks
