What if you have high blood pressure and are supposed to stay away from salt...ty.

Answers: Yes, the Netipot actually works. I equate it to cleaning out broom bristles with a hose. The broom will clean better when it is clean, your nose will work better when your nasal hairs are free to catch allergens.

As for the salt, salt won't really be absorbed by your nasal passages and only a very insignificant amount will trickle down your throat. So, no need to worry there. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I doubt such a tiny amount of salt is going to hurt you. if you do it right, you shouldn't get any saline
