Anywho I have been waking up in the night hacking away because the crap tickles my throat and makes it unbearable to sleep. Well my room mate told me this really crazy trick that he does when he flies back home (he's from Hawaii).

He showed me this netti pot and how it's used and told me to go and get a bottle of isotonic saline and one. Heat up the saline and flush out my nose.

I was worried it was going to burn, but much to my surprise it was very soothing. I could feel it rushing into my sinuses. Man i've never seen so much nasty gunk.

I'm holding onto this thing. I absolutely love it! I'm using this anytime I have any nose problems.
I'm cured for the time being My throat is completely clear and I feel so much better!
