Gemme = A netty pot? My employee suggested that for me but that kind of thing triggers my suffocation drowning reflexes and it's not pretty for anyone.
I'm unclear, have you tried it?
I thought the same thing! I swim, scuba, snorkel, etc... I've plenty of times had (sea, lake, river, pond, etc.) water up my nose and down my throat... who the hell would want that!! But... that's not how it works.
I only started having allergies and sinus infections since I've been in Texas. After several Neti recommendations I finally caved and bought something similar from Walgreens...
So, I followed the directions ... making sure I had the "swisher" (what I call it) at the right angle... it doesn't feel like
water up the nose at all.
Based on what friends have said re: the Neti ... the style I bought is better... more comfortable. The Neti requires you to tip your head to the side... an awkward angle.
The Neti doesn't allow you to control the amount of water that flows into your nose or the pressure with which it enters. The style above is much easier and better ... you tilt your head down a bit and apply pressure to the container. You control volume and pressure.
If it a go! Or maybe try the one above. I resisted a sinus rinse for a few years, it made no sense!! Now I use it as soon a lil congestion in my nose ... the first signs of a pending infection.
