Neti pot

[Questioner]

I teach the use of Neti pot to my students, and the results for those that try have always been very positive. I have one student for whom it is very painful. I recommend using non-iodized sea salt to make a saline solution with warm water. However, for this student, it apparently does not work. Do you know of what else could be used that would be gentler? She said she has always had a very sensitive nose, used to get bloody noses quite a bit, but know of no other damage.

Thanks, Joe

Students who have allergies or sensitivities to nasal area should do wash with distilled water only no salt. Try using a neti pot by gravity flow only not any effort in snuffing. This might be all that is needed. There is also bodywork internal to nose and to manipulate the facial bones that is helpful for people with serious chronic issues in the passages. This i can do or my partner Jan Larivee.
