I have used a Neti pot for over 20 years since I learned about them from a health food store owner. Doctors are familiar with them but do not recommend them. Instead they prescribe drugs. I quit using decongestants when I discovered the Neti pot. It is not difficult to use but some people are not able to get the hang of it. Every time I have a sinus issue I use it and it works wonders during hay fever season, and cold season to lesson the effects of sinus problems. And it is drug free. Just a little table salt and warm water. My current Dr. is in favor of its use and I only have to use an antihistamine in sever cases, which is seldom. The nasal irrigator while it may be gross to some is a great device for people who can't get the hang of a Neti pot.
