One of Oprah's guests, cardiac surgeon (Dr. Oz) , recently recommended Neti pots with salt water to flush out nasal passages ... and suddenly, the shops can't keep these in stock. Of course, you don't need any kind of special "neti pot." This pot is simply a vessel for holding WARM salt water and has a small spout that will fit into your nostril. You can use any kind of small bottle / gentle spray bottle or even a tiny tea pot. I've been recommending this treatment for years and as one of Oprah's staff members said "this has really changed my life ... my allergies are gone and I no longer have to blow my nose every half hour ... it's amazing." It does wonders for sinus infections and can also prevent the cold virus from multiplying (I add a little powdered zinc capsule to cut a cold before it has a chance to take hold) ... so do this at the first sign of a cold. Also good to do before airline travel. And there are so many MORE inexpensive, safe and simple ways to improve your health. I guess most Americans will only believe it when it comes from a cardiac surgeon. Such is life. Just glad that people are learning about these fast and easy ways to promote better health. I really admire and respect Oprah ... she has accomplished so much, but the day her show stops airing commercials for trans fat loaded cookies and pizza hut ... then I'll really be impressed. I think she'll do it. Long and vital life to all, C.C.
