Anyone use a neti pot for sinus headaches, etc.? Have any luck?

no but worked with an older guy once who would share useless and boring stories all day long and told me about them a few times. swore by them.

I did it a month ago because my head was stuffed like a fucking turkey, it hurt and I couldn't breath except by gasping through my mouth. I steamed in the shower for almost an hour then tried this. It took a couple tries, but it worked well enough.

You have to use un-iodized salt the you-tube demos dont tell you that. It works amazing!

My wife uses it from time to time. Works fairly well.
Except when I make her laugh whilst pouring and she shoots snot-water all over the wall.

Aye, I did my own last year, using with a concoction I found on the internet (warmish saltwater, with some hydrogen peroxide), applied using a small syringe (needle-less, obviously!).
It worked fucking brilliantly, and although it feels a bit silly doing it and is a bit hippy, I wouldn't hesitate recommending it to anyone else. I mean, it's an odd feeling, pouring loads of warm water into the middle of your face, but once you get used to it, you feel the benefit and find it surprisingly therapeutic.

Use it every day. Sea salt is the key.

There's a vid of a guy trying different liquids with a neti pot, ie. coffee, whiskey etc. with the whiskey he doesn't make it, it's too painful.

I love it and use mine all the time, cold or no cold. It's a total head rush, no pun intended.

does it have potential as a narcotic delivery method?
