Guest guest Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Yes, I use a neti. And it should NOT sting!! If it is stinging (even first time use) then the salt to water ratio is off (either too much salt, or not enough).

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Janis Do you salt with the water? Try doing it more often until it gets to a " maintaince " stage. There are some that are worse like takinga dropper with ginger juice and honey.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 I hated the neti at first, it stung and I choked. Now it's a daily ritual and I love my neti just like my teddy bear.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Use approximatelly 1 tsp. salt for one quart of water. If one has a lot of mucous, it may sting, then you need to do it more. If you get a lot of mucous, then look for the causes. Exercise more especially aerobic exercises. Diet has a lot to do with it. Look for allergies. Causes of mucous: Overeating bad food combining allergies candida ( white foods contribute to candida. sugar, honey, anything sweet, dried fruit. cheese, dairy, flour(especially white flour),etc.) nit chewing enough stress lack of exercise eating between meals eating at night GB , " Thia ....
