Neti Pot How-To

So the wife shows me an episode of Oprah with Dr. Oz of the You series of health books. He's showing this thing called a neti pot. It's a watering can for the nose. The thing is put into one nostril and warm salt water is poured through the nostrils cleaning out the sinuses. My first attempt at video with this new camera sucked. Apparently my video software won't edit 16:9 video.

Music is WAY too distracting.

You're supposed to use boiled water of distilled water people! Not tap, risk of infection.

[MrPeruPYRO]

hi and thanks for bothering to post this video, it is nice of you and i need instructions. however,  i cannot stand the music, so couldnt finish the video. thanks anyway!

thanks for the video.. my tips are: use previously boiled water ONLY.. also, you didnt say anything about repeating the procedure on the other nostril. Normally half a pot per nostril is sufficient. In addition to that, drying the nose must be done by VERY GENTLY blowing air out in lots of short puffs... otherwise hard blowing will force water into your Eustachian tubes and may lead to ear infections as well as further complicate any issue you are having with your sinus.

Yea, I guess people hundreds of years ago used distilled water.

DANGER:

Two people have died as a direct result of using a Neti pot with tap water. ONLY USE DISTILLED or BOILED WATER.
