I tried the pot

The Neti Pot, that is. Ohh...I bet that got you reading!
So, I've been having this annoying post nasal drip stuff, and was looking for something natural to use. I'm kind of weird about using medications while pregnant, even the over the counter stuff my doctor says is fine....if I can find a natural solution, I would rather try that first!

In my google search, I found the Neti Pot, which I have seen on Oprah, at Whole Foods, etc. Always curious but not willing to buy.... I saw a couple "jimmy rigging" ideas in place of the $20 Neti Pot.....a syringe....a bulb.....a decorative tea pot I never use!! Perfect! Ok, so you'll probably never want to drink anything I serve out of that tea pot, but that's fine because I use it for cinnamon storage for my coffee pot (always add a dash or two with the beans) anyways. 

So, I would have to say it's pretty cool and I feel much clearer in the head...which is probably a good thing for me...and can breathe easier. Anyone else tried this? May be worth buying the real thing?

Patrick uses one often and thinks it is great! Each time afterward he says that he can breathe better than he has in years (he has major sinus issues). He also has gone to a chiropractor often and that seems to help too.
