Neti-Update

Because I know you have all been on the edges of your seats, wondering, "how is the neti-pot going for Lauren now???" I chronicled my initial neti-journeys a few weeks ago and with that, I got you hooked. You've probably been checking this blog daily, no several times a day, hoping and praying for neti-news.

Ask and ye shall receive.

In my excitement over my new "toy," I might have been a little carried away. I lamented in my earlier blog post that when I used my neti-pot, the water sometimes ran into my mouth, rather than smoothly in one nostril and out the other. I now believe this is because I was pouring the water out of my neti-pot too quickly. There was nowhere for the deluge to go, but out my mouth. After a little trial and error I learned the perfect technique. I still believe that my nasal passages are smaller/narrower than normal, so I need to apply an even lighter hand than most when using my neti-pot.

So now I've got the neti-pot down to a fine art. I could teach lessons, really...
