Neti Pots, Saline Nasal Rinse & Colds
We have the Mouth Wash Vs. Warm Salt Water well covered but I just realized we do not have much on also clearing the nasal passages to prevent colds, flu and allergies. Many think this is a myth, but it really does work. Just as you clean your mouth and your butt (sorry to be blunt) you also have to clean another area that is direct contact with your environment - your nose / nasal passages. Your sinus area is where the cold starts, just think - if you have never cleaned it then its like having never brushed your teeth. A Neti Pot or over the counter saline rinse helps to kill the bacteria that is lodged in there. This as far as I'm concerned should be part of anyone's hygiene routine. What are your thoughts?

If that does help to ward off these nasty illnesses and flu viruses that are around, then it's definitely worth trying.
So many of us moan about colds and flus, and dread getting them, but if this does help to stop illness, you haven't got much to lose by giving it a go.. It's all natural and non harmful at the end of the day.
Keep in mind that rinsing the sinuses is comparable to a first line of defense against infection, bacteria and so on that leads towards flu / colds however for a more holistic approach you should read in total this Thread: Does anyone suffer from this? to understand the whole approach to never becoming ill.
