Break out that neti pot!

Hi All,


Started using my neti pot morning and night last week when I began developing sinus issues because of allergies.

Together with R.C. around cheeks and inhalation of peppermint, to-day Saturday, no more sinus problems!

You gotta to love these oils! And neti pot of course!

Below is a recipe for using with your neti pot.

Rosemary and Melaleuca aricifolia (tea tree)essential oils can be used in a saline solution for very effective nasal irrigation that clears and decongests sinuses. As recommended by Daniel Pénoël, MD, the saline solution is prepared as follows:

12 drops rosemary cineol
4 drops tea tree
8 tablespoons very fine salt

The essential oils are mixed thoroughly in the fine salt and stored in a sealed container. For each nasal irrigation session, 1 teaspoon of this salt mixture is dissolved into 1 ½ cups distilled water.

This oils/salt/water solution is then placed in the tank of an oral irrigator to irrigate the nasal cavities, which is done while bending over a sink. This application has brought surprisingly positive results in treating latent sinusitis and other nasal congestion problems.[1]

All the best,

Ernestine

Thanks Awaken for the info I’ll have to look into getting the oils you mentioned. I use the neti pot daily but with salt dissolved in water while taking a shower.

I try to use the neti pot a few times a week, I have allergy problems.
I didn't know that you could put oils in it, thanks for the info.
