The Netty Pot

It is the best device ever invented. If your sinuses are stopped up, or you are having a lot of drainage, the Netty Pot is a real lifesaver.

It will not harm anything, and it will keep the allergens washed out of your nasal passages. It is great for headaches and when the sinuses in your cheek areas are hurting you.

Change your Pillow Case and Shower
