  • can i use any water bottle? and do i have to use salt?

  • @594JLP Yes, you can basically use any bottle and you must use salt (otherwise it will hurt--really!). The water needs to be distilled water or water that you've boiled---but don't use it when it's boiling hot. Warm the salt water before using it. Good luck.

  • pause at 0:05...  o.o

  • @AlienEffigy ?????? Huh???

  • does anyone know if I could do this with just salty water? I'm dead sick with sinus infection for about a month now, and I'm running out of ideas on how to help myself. Will this help my pain ?

  • @twinmama0505 You could try it. But ther water needs to be warm (not hot). Cold salty water (and it needs to be salty---un salted water is painful) is NOT comfortable at all. Trust me. But if you have a sinus infection--try to get some antibiotics. When I started using this, I had a sinus infection and it helped...but a few months later I got some antibiotics and that took care of the problem. Now I only rinse during certain bad allergy seasons. Good luck to you.

  • why is it gross? The sinus rinse feels amazing... Everyone should do the rinse every now and again. It's basically an ancient yogic practice to clear the sinus' in such a way.

  • @594JLP you should use a mix of salt ( idoine free) and baking soda..check the web for the correct mix...in Europe every doctor first prescribes a nasel douche-you can buy the salt premixed in the correct dose next to the many different types of nael douche contraptions....

  • @twinmama0505 Best to use sea salt, and a bit less than half a teaspoon of it in lukewarm water. You can't use non-salted water, you'll know right away why. If you do it properly, it'll ease your sinuses. The pain is caused by pressure in your sinus.

  • Check out my cool trick to treat an itchy throat and tingly nose...

  • @AlienEffigy haha true

  • Ross, I've been flushing my sinuses with salt water for at least 10 years. I don't go a day without ... no kidding! I just stick my nose in a Tupperware container filled with warm salt water and suck in the water one nostril at a time. I just hold one nostril closed with my index finger. I've had one cold in the last ten years and it didn't last very long. And I don't suffer from allergies anymore either. My sister on the other hand can't bring herself to do this and always has sniffles.

  • Press 5 repeatedly hes saying hit like. lol

  • Make sure you use distilled water or water that has been boiled to kill things found in drinking water! Do not use straight tap water. Look it up yourself; person died from introducing a "brain eating" amoeba into their nose from tap water in a Neti pot. Rare I'm sure but still... Boil water for 3 min. first, let cool to warm, then use.
