Research Notes on Sinus Infection and Neti Pot


A neti pot is a quick and simple way to prevent and treat sinus infections. Irrigating the nasal passages helps keep mucus cleared out and gets rid of any irritants or bacteria. Using a neti pot daily greatly reduces the chances an infection can start. It can also help your body fight an infection you already have.1

Fast Facts:

  • You can use a neti pot several times a day safely.1
  • A few drops of grapefruit seed extract can be added to your saltwater solution.2
  • You can buy a neti pot at drugstores, health food stores, and many other stores with a health care section.3
