Why Use a Neti Pot?

Neti pots can relieve pain, pressure and congestion by liquefying the excess mucus in your nasal passages and flushing it out. This keeps the cilia (basically, tiny hairs) in your nasal passages moving so they block out bacteria, allergens and other irritants. Congested or dry sinuses can be a breeding ground for infection. Using a neti pot can easily fit into your daily cleansing routine. All it takes is a few short minutes – just like brushing your teeth. Gravity gently does the work of rinsing the sinuses- that’s the beauty of using a traditional Baraka Neti Pot.

How often should I use my neti pot?

This is our most frequently asked question. The answer is simple – listen to your body – however, it requires you to experiment a bit. Below are a few suggestions how to do this:

For maintenance: Some people benefit from rinsing daily as it opens up their sinus passages. Others may find it too drying. See what works best for you and contact us if you need help.

For colds: Rinsing 2 to 4 times a day can be helpful to flush out infection and liquefy mucus. Do this for the duration of your cold.

What time of day is best?

When you first wake up and at least an hour before bed (this allows your sinuses to drain before you sleep). If you have a cold, you may want to rinse during the day. If you have allergies, rinsing at the end of the day to clear the sinuses from pollen may be your best bet.

Should I use filtered water?

No. Water filters, such as Brita, are not able to remove bacteria and other undesirables. If you have an expensive home filtering system, call the manufacturer to see what it filters out. It should have the same standards as bottled water.

What if I feel stinging?

If you experience a bit of stinging, adjust the level of salt. People tend to use too little salt. Also adjust the water temperature – it may be too hot or cool.
