Neti Pot is the answer to those spring sniffles - and once you're in the habit you just keep going! You don't know how your breathing is compromised until you take that first deep breath. Thoughts calm down and relax tangibly when we breathe deeply.

Place a pinch of sea salt or Himalayan salt and a pinch of Xylitol in the neti. Add warm water from the kettle. Lean over the sink. Tilt your head to one side; place the neti spout up against your one nostril. Let the breath flow through the mouth. Allow the water to enter through one nostril and exit through the other. Blow your nose. Repeat the process from the other nostril. Ah, I can breathe now! If you want to, place a little oil (grapeseed, almond or jojoba) into your nostrils afterwards.
