Neti Pots for a Healthy New Year!!

A few years ago I happened to be in Whole Foods and noticed a display of Neti Pots. They have been around for centuries but are now becoming more popular in the US. They were featured on Oprah and Dr Oz. I had already been using one so I was already hip to the Neti Pot Health Scene!

At first I thought it was a tea pot but as I began to read what it was all about, I thought I had to try it. Apparently it is popular among people who do Yoga. I do Yoga, but had never heard of it. It makes perfect sense since you want to breath deeply during Yoga. I did find a book written about the use of the Neti Pot. Maybe it will tell the full history more accurately for those that want to know.

I have been using mine off and on for awhile and definitely notice a difference in my breathing after I use it. I guess I should use it more often to avoid colds!! I add the Neti Pot salt recommended and add warm water. At first it is a little awkward, but then you figure out how best to use it. (over a bathroom sink preferably!!!)

Web Md explains it well. You can buy one online or at your local health food stores.
