Easy Instructions for Using a Neti Pot
Step 1: Make a Saline Solution
The temperature of the water used for the nasal wash should be body temperature or very slightly warmer. Avoid very hot or very cold water.
The correct amount of Aromatic Salt neti salt is: 1/2 rounded teaspoon of Aromatic Salt to 8 ounces of warm water. The Into the Scented Garden neti pot is just large enough to hold 8 ounces of water comfortably.
The cap of the Aromatic Salt bottle can be used to measure the salt. Fill the cap until the salt just covers the threads, just over half a capful.
The instructions for the amount of salt are guidelines. Adjust to find the amount that is perfect for you. Some variable factors are: the mineral content of your water and your personal preference. Aromatic Salt neti salt dissolves in water much more quickly than table salt.
A quick stir before beginning the nasal wash should be sufficient to produce a solution evenly salinated with Aromatic Salt.
Step 2: Rinse
With your neti pot filled with Aromatic Salt solution and standing over a basin or sink, tilt your head gently so that one nostril moves downward toward the basin and the other nostril moves up toward the ceiling.
Insert the spout of the neti pot into the upper nostril.
Gently pour the saline solution into the upper nostril and let it flow out through the lower nostril.
When the pot is empty, blow out through both nostrils into the sink or into a tissue or handkerchief. Be sure not to close either nostril as you blow out.
Repeat on the other side.
When you have finished rinsing both sides, and after you've gently blown your nose, you may want to bend all the way forward and turn your head from side to side to release any Aromatic Salt solution that may remain in the nasal passages.
Step 3: Care of your Neti Pot
Wash your Into the Scented Garden neti pot by hand or in the dishwasher.
