LA Times: Neti-Pots and Other Saline Sinus Rinses Effective
The LA Times on March 15, 2010 published a story entitled "Are neti pots on the nose?". The story describes the effectiveness of regular saline flushes to the nose in reducing as well as preventing allergy symptoms, colds, and sinus infections. Devices that can flush the nose/sinus include Neti-Pots as well as Neilmed Sinus Rinse. Electronic devices also exist (see below).
Though patients can purchase saline packets, patients can make their own saline solution by combining one teaspoon of kosher salt and a half teaspoon of baking soda with a pint of lukewarm tap water.
