… Neti Pot.
Miranda told me about this creation, the Neti Pot. An unholy tea pot that pours a saline solution into your face through one nostril, and expels your head sewage out the other nose hole.
Yes it works, but at what cost?
Coral and I plunked the $20 bones down on the little blue tea pot looking vessel. It came with 50 packets of saline solution mix and instructions.
Fill with water and saline solution. Bend forward and tilt your head easily to one side. Pour solution into nose. Choke, gag, almost puke and then eventually drain snotty sludge.
Coral went first because she is brave and it worked great for her, but my turn did not work well the first time. My nose was too clogged and after the one sinus filled with solution, it collected what snot it could, then rolled down the back of my throat, all in my mouth and some went down, down, down to my belly.
It made me want to gag, but it did make some progress, the second pot full of salty witch brew finally broke through the sinus barrier and brought a torrent of snot with it.
Yes, I am breathing tonight as I type this blog waiting for files to transfer from the PC to the Mac, but still feel queasy from the experience.
The Neti Pot worked Miranda… it worked. It woked too well… some things should never come out of your nose.
