art with them sitting right there staring me in the face... without hesitation I grabbed it up. I hear these are becoming quite popular after them being on Opera's show!Anyway, Last night after staring at it for a couple of weeks, we managed to get enough courage to try it out. Of course I had to go first. =) It really wasn't that bad and it actually went in one nostril and out the other. I almost felt like I was filling up with water, but then once it started flowing out, it was no big deal. I was all prepared for boogers everywhere, choking, screaming, burning, you get the idea. Afterwards, I felt like I was cleaner - maybe it was all in my head, but it was like I could breathe better. I don't have a problem with my sinuses or anything though. Then it was the hubby's turn. He did well - but later that night said he felt raw like he was having a lot of drainage. I don't know though - maybe a coincidence and he would have had that anyway??
Anyway, I think I'm going to try to do this every once in awhile. Definitely not twice a day like it recommends! Have any of you tried the neti pot? I'm curious as to what you think about it.

Okay, have I ever told you I am CRAZY about Dr. Oz??!! I am reading his book "You Staying Young right now and it is phenomenal! I was even going to post about it on my blog--I'm kind of a health nut! :oP Anyways, this post was so funny! My dad made one of these "pots" at home and tried to convince me to use it after he was coughing and gagging from using it--Ha ha ha! I never did, but maybe someday (with a not homemade one!)--Tell Kurt that drainage is usually a good thing after using things like this. As long as things are moving out and not sitting in there and clogging up :o)
Jen, you should try the real thing!!!! I would be afraid to try a homemade one. =)
Yes, you told me you like Dr. Oz. I don't know a whole lot about him, only a little bit from Opera, and I do not watch her regularly. You'll have to let me know about the book - or do, put it on your blog.
