I am not a "yoga type" so I was completely unaware of Neti pots. By chance my doctor told me about a "Rhino horn" which is available at the local pharmacies around here. It is the same thing.

(I am not affiliated - any odd neti pot will do!)

You mix salt and lukewarm water. It gives instant relief. Even if you are not fully obstructed it relaxes the nose. When fully obstructed just have a little patience and it will rinse through.

I think Yoga practitioners use it as part of their daily morning routine. But I am too lazy and only use it when I have a cold or allergies (been around cats and horses).

It was a really weird thing to use the first couple of times. But the relief is so worth it.

This is a total game changer for a CPAP user. If you nose is clear when you go to sleep the pressure from CPAP it often enough to keep the nostrils free.



Thanks. I Actually did that long before Yoga was a thing. It only works for about 10-30 min. Then it is blocked again.
