Of course, I am now fully into the netti pot.. And of course, I over did it.. It seems that it is not recommended if you have a deviated septum. My septum is not deviated on the books but, my nose has been broken a few times.. And perhaps I am on an odd time because, one side does not seem to drain as good as the other..

In fact, i had some liquid stuck on the left side of my face under my eye for a few days.. It hurt a little but, a heating pad to the face for a couple of hours and the next day, i was great..

I moved from a ceramic netti pot to one of those plastic guys that looks more like a genie lamp.. The stream of water is quicker.. I am hoping that the netti pot helps me throuhg allergy season..

I looked up a couple of advanced netti pot moves and am hoping it works better on my one side..

But, overall, netti pot has really improved my breathing and comfort..Aside from the few days where my face hurt..

“One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. 'Oh, no!', I said, 'Disneyland burned down.' He cried and cried, but I think that deep down he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late.”

Ah, another neti pot convert. Yes, drainage can be a bitch. Sometimes even the windmill thing doesn't work, especially when you've accidentally shot the water up to the back of your head.

One thing I found that did a great job of getting rid of excess water was to do some sun salutes, or just a downward dog. I found that out accidentally when I went to yoga class after using my neti pot, and had water pour out of my nose during my first Sun Salute A. It was embarrassing, but at least it got rid of the excess water!

I find the whole notion as bizarre as that of colonic irrigation. Hygiene does not mean scrubbing every barely accessible nook clean of organic matter. Snot's meant to be up there as much as shit's meant to be inside the colon.

I don't think it's just about hygiene, at least not for me.

There's a sort of satisfaction that comes with blowing out a huge wad of snot. And you can't do that with just a handkerchief, because it doesn't come out cleanly. But after using a neti pot, you can get it all out with one strong blow. And it's much more hygienic than picking your nose, because you don't get snot stuck up your fingernails.

Who said neti pots can't be fun?

Plus I find it really helps with pollen allergies. It helps keep my nose clear, at least for a little while.
