Question by maggie is going to be a big sis!: Has anyone ever used a neti pot? Nasal lavage?
Do you have to use the salt solution with it or can you just use warm water? I am having a huge sinus infection I do not have an actual neti pot but i am thinking about putting warm water in a baby aspirator and trying it that way could i use regular kitchen salt to make a saline solution or will that burn??? help me please i am in desperate need for relief but have recently lost my insurance so i can not go to the Dr.

Answer by Jules What I use is a bulb syringe and non-iodized salt (I was told iodized salt might be irritating) 1 teaspoon/ 2 cups warm water as a nasal rinse. Very gently squeeze the bulb syringe into your nose because you don’t want to drown yourself (of course you can’t, but you can give yourself a horrible snort with one of those things!)
It works for allergies, too!

Answer by twentyeight7 Sorry never heard of that one, but if you have problems with sinus then get yourself a bottle of ‘Echinacea’ One tablet and your sinus’ are cleared for days. You can buy the little black pills at the drugstore.
Question by candycane: Has anyone tried the Mineral Lamps?
I’ve seen where the Mineral Lamps are suppose to help with allergies, asthma, sinus and migraine headache relief. They are pricey and but would be worth it if they work. The scientific part with the ions using a light in the mineral rock, sounds resoundable. I suffer from all the above and would like to get some relief, along with all the medications I am taking. I hate taking medicine and would like to try the “natural” way of healing. I will continue my meds, but my allergies worsen by the seasons. If you have ever purchased a Mineral Lamp, I am interested in the effects and where you purchased it. Thanks for the help! SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY PLEASE!!

Answer by Nitram “The scientific part with the ions using a light in the mineral rock, sounds resoundable[sic].” I don’t know how to tell you this – no it doesn’t at all, it sounds like made up BS from someone trying to bamboozle you.
