It's cold and flu season

I'm sick.....

I have a cold.

I hate being sick.

I have no time for it.

It always seems to turn into

a sinus infection.

So today I tried something

I had never tried before.

A neti pot......

It's an interesting experience.

You take this small "tea pot like" thing

fill it with warm water,

dissolve 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt and

one dropper-full of neti-wash

which contains zinc, herbs and echinacea,

tilt you head over the sink

pour this concoction into one nostril

and let the liquid drain

out the other nostril.

I thought I would surely drown..........

but here I am.

I must say, I breathe much better all afternoon

but the sun has set.....

and now I feel horrible again.

How often can or should I do this?

I'll have to go back and see

if they say anything in the instructions

Bottom line is....when you think

nothing will ever make you smile again

because you can't breathe and your head is pounding

you try a neti pot

and smile........at least for a while!
