use warm distilled water - never tap water - the chlorine will burn.
I use an echinacea-goldenseal blend in my neti pot
NO! JUST SALT water..and WARM salt water at that...
Helps to keep the sinuses clear of gunk that causes sinus infections, colds...
Most Dr's find that a netti pot is the most useful tool in battling allergies and sinus problems...use one for a while and you will find that your breathing is 100% better...
When you buy your neti pot, you should also buy the salt, usually it comes with it or you can find it online (google neti pot), and thats it. Do what the instructions tell you about how much salt to put in. (The salt isn't normal table salt).
As for the benifits, theres alot. Theres pollution in the air like dust, dander, smoke, and mold, and it can make you sick, either by allergic reactions, it can lead to a chronic sore throat, or even a sinuis infection. While some drugs only relieve symptoms, the neti pot flushes these pollutents away, and you'll be breathing better in no time.
