My friend turned me on the the Neti Pot.  I have three kids and I feel like we are always fighting a cold.  Our house is often dry in the winter and I vowed this year we will all try new things to stay healthy.  We love Emergen C and Airborne and thought the Neti Pot would be a helpful addition.  It takes practice but it works! Simply add salt (they sell special salt for the Neti, be careful what you use), warm water and let it go!  It takes time to test the proper angle of your head and the pot but it is worth it.  You can breathe better all day!
