Quite interesting!
What does the booster shot cartridge look like? I live in England, UK, and I am not sure whether I can get it here.
Any chance of sending a picture of that cartridge so that I may hunt for one?
Many thanks
Daniel

Why buy a neti pot when you can get an empty booster shot cartridge for free from the pharmacist? Just shoot it gently and aim a bit to the side and it works like a charm. Plus it’s small, unbreakable, easy to clean, and travels well.

Regarding the Neti pot, I’ve used three different types and found what I believe to be the best type: stainless steel. Copper neti pots are preferred by traditionalists who believe the metal carries homeopathic advantages, but anyone who knows what water does to copper will quickly realize that you’ll get copper residue in your sinuses. A ceramic pot will be brittle, and likely to chip with travel or possibly break with a fall. Small cracks and chips can then become a haven for bacteria. Glass, while easy to clean, is even more likely to break. The best I’ve yet to use is stainless steel, which can be cleaned with the greatest ease, can be safely traveled with, will leave no metallic residue in your sinuses, and best of all, is practically indestructible, given normal bathroom conditions. At worst, poorly welded steel pots might have a little rust at edges, but regular cleaning will prevent this from getting into your body. My own stainless steel pot has no welding, and little gaskets are used at the only point where two metal joints meet. The gaskets will prevent rust from developing, but may someday degrade. I doubt that will happen for many years though, which means this may be the last pot I’ll ever need.

A friend of mine at work swears by the Neti Pot and uses it all the time in the winter. Someone else at the office suggested using the Neti Pot while in the shower. You can just throw your head back and let it flow. Since you are in the shower anyway, everything just rinses off and down the drain.

Regarding the neti pot — my children’s pediatrician (exposed to more virulent kid germs than anyone else I know) says that the neti pot is great, but so is the “Simple Saline” spray at the local pharmacy. It costs about $4, and lasts for several months even when used multiple times/day. It’s more portable than the neti pot, it, which is useful; for example, on airplanes that dry out nasal passages and have enclosed air exchange systems that distribute everyone’s germs during the course of the flight. So far, TSA hasn’t taken mine away.
