The first time I've learned about it, was in January of this year, when I had a sinus infection. Man, that thing REALLY cleans you out!
Here's how it goes...
1. Get Neti Pot (I got mine at Wholefoods, but I heard that Bed, Bath & Beyond has it too).
2. Get salt that comes with it. Sea salt works fine too.
3. Get a cup of warm water, not too hot, not too cold, and dissolve 1/4 teaspoon of salt in it, and put it into the Neti Pot.
4. Now comes the fun part! Put the spout in one nostril and turn your head and let it pour through your head (!) -Do you remember ever being in the water and doing a summer salt and then getting your nose and head completely full of water -yeah, same feeling!
5. Blow your nose. Wow, it's amazing to see all that was stuck up in there!
6. Do it again with the other nostril! YEAH!!
Oh, and here's some fun links too:
