NetiPot for sinuses

I have had nasal congestion for many years. Do you think Neti Pot can help?

Neti Pot has been widely touted to help people reduce or stop snoring. The Neti Pot is sold in pharmacies and can help reduce nasal congestion. It is a simply pot filled with warm saline. This same Netipot version has been used for a million years by Orientals. They boil some water with tea bags, cover the face with a towel and inhale the fumes- of course not when it is boiling but when the water is just simmering hot). The individual breathes into one side of the nose and tries to empty out of the other side. This maneuver helps clean out excess mucus. 

Unfortunately, the Netipot is only of help in people who have blocked nasal passages. It is difficult to use and cumbersome. If you do not have nasal congestion, allergic rhinitis or nasal blockage, this device will not help your snoring. 

Final word- another item you will buy that will end up in the garage or as a paper weight.
