nasal lavage

[pylduck]

In the TMI category, I just irrigated my nasal passages for the first time. Nasal irrigation is a procedure that removes excess mucus from your nasal passages as well as particulate irritants. sylliegurl mentioned using a neti pot recently, and that got me thinking that this cleansing might help with my recalcitrant allergies. I used a packaged product instead of a neti pot, but the procedure is essentially the same. It's a strange feeling, of course, but it is also quite amazing to feel all the excess mucus moving out of my nasal passages.

my acupuncturist got me started with the squeeze bottle and packets – it helped my breathing lots this past allergy season....
