Inflammation of the sinuses is simply known as sinusitis and there may be many reasons for this including seasonal allergies or the common cold. Whatever the reason, the symptoms are annoying and aggravating. We have all been there trying to obtain immediate relief with over the counter nasal sprays, and medications. However, I have been told by friends, family and patients that the use of a Neti-Pot has alleviated their symptoms.
I personally have never used one but I have irrigated the sinuses of patients in the office in a similar fashion with a syringe. They too have stated that this has given them significant relief and from my understanding the long term cost of using a Neti-Pot is much less than pharmaceutical agents so I highly recommend looking into the Net-Pot for anyone with chronic nasal irritation.
