Do what I do: use a neti pot, a little pot that you use to rinse out your nostrils, every time you feel a cold coming on, or better yet use it every day first thing in the morning. It helps clear out the nasal passages and can prevent colds, congestion and allergy attacks. You just put salt water in it, so it’s totally safe and harmless.
Neti Pots Work!
I try and use my Neti pot at least once a day in the winter time. A couple of times I felt like I was coming down w/a cold (I could feel it first in my sinus cavity)-I just increased the use of my Neti pot to twice a day and increased the sea salt from 1/4 tsp/cup of h20 to 1/2 tsp/cup of h20 and 24 hours later I was cold virus free. I LOVE my Neti Pot!
