i'm fighting off a cold on the 3rd day of symptoms (i mistook the first day of symptoms as sleeping or eating something wrong, and stupidly had a pint of beer and an enchilada for dinner - there go 16 sick-free months!), which seems to be not going away, got worse, but now seems better, and i think partly due to the neti pot which i finally decided to use. i had serious doubts when carlos told me about it last winter, but i checked it out and since i was desperate to get off nasal spray. i got 2 stainless steel ones (tn has the other if youre interested), which came with instructions, salt, and a cd (since lost), but the website has all the instructions necessary. although i had some problems at first with water going down my throat or into my mouth, i have gotten the hang of it enough so that i dont have to stop to spit out water or swallow or readjust the nozzley part. i looked up videos to see how people use it, and apparently oprah has given it good publicity. this was the best video i found on youtube:
hope everyone is well this winter. i hear it is raining and cold in the bay area - stay warm - cuddle!
1/22: felt like crap this a.m., so i used the neti pot and saw all this yellow-greenish mucous collect in the sink and slowly wash down the drain. gross, but works. still drinking my reishi and astragalus tea in hopes of this cold being as short-lived as possible. |
