Nasal Neti Pots
and Your Health: Why Body Ecology Recommends this Ancient Therapy
It's cold and flu season, sinus infection is a part of life for almost
30 million Americans, and prime allergy season is coming. If you suffer
from regular upper respiratory infections or allergies, then you need
to know about nasal irrigation.

Are you one of the 37 million adults with chronic sinusitis?1
Or perhaps you are one of the 50 million people in the United States routinely
affected by allergies?2
If your upper respiratory health is important to you, then a not-so-new technique
can be one of your front lines of defense this cold and flu season. In fact,
it may even clear up your allergies and chronic sinusitis.
An Ancient Practice
For thousands of years, yogis have practiced cleansing rituals and routines
that enhance their health and act as preventative medicine. One of these ancient
techniques is nasal irrigation, using nasal neti pots.
In our western culture, nasal irrigation is not incredibly common, but in
the face of widespread ear, nose, and throat (ENT) infections, nasal neti
pots provide a powerful solution.
Years ago, people lived in environments with clean air and water, regular
time outdoors and low amounts of pollen. Regular swimming, fresh air and nose
blowing were enough to maintain healthy nasal passages.
These days, we spend our lives in air-conditioned and heated closed spaces,
surrounded by dirty air.
Our noses have to filter out more pollution, dust, dirt and germs now than
ever before!
Help your body cleanse itself by using a nasal neti pot and saline wash,
and you'll be doing your nose and your health a favor!
Nasal neti pots can address these conditions:
- Chronic sinusitis and sinus infection
- Upper respiratory infections
- Allergies
- Asthma
- Exposure to smoke and other air pollution
- Cold and flu
At a time when antibiotics and standard over-the-counter drugs are increasingly
ineffective, nasal neti pots can be your prevention and treatment for ENT
infections.
Here at Body Ecology, we have found a Stainless
Steel Nasal Neti Pot that makes clearing your nasal passages easy. This
particular model is simple and effective and comes with detailed instructions
on how to use it with a simple saline wash. You can even use this nasal neti
pot with children!
What The Experts Say
Even ENT doctors recognize the effectiveness of nasal neti pots in treating
and preventing sinus infection and chronic sinusitis.
"Nasal Irrigation can potentially be the most therapeutic measure in
completely eliminating a sinus infection."
- Dr. Robert S. Iyker, Dept. of Otolaryngology, University
of Colorado
"The action of fluid through the nose is so effective in clearing blocked
passages that, if it is done regularly, some patients with persistent or chronic
sinusitis need no drug treatment at all."
- Dr. Gary Rachelefsky. Associate Director, Allergy- Immunology,
UCLA
A New Routine
You can add regular cleansing of your nasal passages to your daily routine,
just like brushing your teeth or taking a shower. In fact, it's best to cleanse
your nasal passages after a hot shower as the heat and moisture loosen mucous
and help the process along.
Say good bye to decongestants, antibiotics and constant nose blowing!
An IMPORTANT Word About PREVENTION - Body Ecology for Your Sinuses
While the nasal neti pot is a great way to improve sinus infections, allergies
and upper respiratory health, it's even more important to focus on prevention
of these issues to begin with.
There has been much speculation about why sinus infections occur. Some
experts have drawn a correlation between allergies to gluten and dairy as
the cause. Removing gluten and dairy, common allergens, has had great
results for many sufferers of sinus problems.
In a 1999 study, the Mayo Clinic found that sinus infections, rather than
allergies are actually the immune system's response to a fungus.4
The findings showed that the body actually sends a type of white blood cell
to attack the fungi, and it is this response that irritates the membranes
in the nose.
The Body Ecology system of health and healing is exceptional for prevention
of illness and dis-ease for several reasons:
- Body Ecology is gluten-free and dairy-free, removing two of the most
common allergens that exacerbate sinus problems.
- Body Ecology is anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and anti-viral, helping remove
pathogens and balance your inner ecosystem.
- Body Ecology boosts your immunity, which is key to preventing illness
and keeping you healthy and strong.
