Product Notes:
These simple but effective devices are named after the Sanskrit word for nasal cleansing. You need only follow the simple directions to prepare a saline solution with warm distilled water and salt (many use either sea salt or Himalayan crystal salt for this purpose) which you use to rinse through your nostrils.

Composition:
This particular neti pot model from Relaxus is made of certified lead free ceramic material and has a smooth glaze finish.
Directions:
Fill the Neti Pot with warm water*, slightly salted with a quarter teaspoon of fine, non-iodized salt (note: regular table salt is iodized). Lean over the sink, tilt your head sideways so your ear is facing the skin, and insert the spout into whichever nostril is higher (which will be the left one if you began by tilting right), and begin pouring about half the saline solution into it. The solution will flow through that nostril and stream out of the other, lower nostril. You can breathe through your mouth while doing this - you do not need to hold your breath. Then repeat the procedure with the other nostril. End by standing upright and blowing your nose gently to remove any excess fluid.
Warnings:
Do not use if your nostrils or sinuses are injured, sore, or inflamed, or if you are experiencing nosebleeds.
* Use only distilled, sterile, or 'nano-filtered' water - even normally treated tap water may contain microorganisms which would be okay to drink but not to inhale through your nose.
To avoid the risk of infection, do not share your Neti pot with others, and wash it thoroughly after each use: using either distilled water (if you have it) or sterilized tap water (which can be achieved by boiling the water for 5 minutes). Allow it to cool before using again.
