It's both my virtue and my failing to be concise. Thanks for filling in the details for me. :-)
I've never had any problem with my (filtered) tap water and I use pretty high quality salt, but I might get some sea salt and experiment with that. Purer is always better.
Random -- I harvested the seeds from my pepper plants this weekend. I'm looking for a bumper crop next season!
Thanks Rob- I have used a neti pot, sparingly, for years. I have been sick with a nasty sinus infection for over a week, so switching to well-boiled water (also told by my naturopath this out-gasses the fluoride and chloramine) may help.
will also look into the distiller. I have been using pink salt, which I found to be explosion -mined and not-so eco/safe. I recently picked up some sea salt from costco reputed to be hyper clean and mineral rich. I am clearly exuding years of debris at this point.
I know someone who uses a neti pot with distilled water (not sure if they even add anything else) if they feel that they're coming down with something. They claim it works and has prevented them from being sick.
Very timely, Rob D! I agree. We have to take our health into our own hands. Literally!
I have a been a neti pot fiend for years. In fact, I credit the neti pot with saving me from the toxic effects of wearing a mask. On the days I spent masked at work in 2020 and 2021, I'd get blood (sorry...gross, but true) when cleansing my sinuses. Since being banished from the VA for being unjabbed, no more toxic masks means no more bloody nose. Won't give up my neti pot, though :). That's a keeper. Masks, however, can burn.
Thanks for the shout out!

I quit my job that was killing me, literally, 5 years ago. I grow my own lettuce. --- Sticking it to the man one little bit at a time. 😉
I've found a good pepper spraying really cleans out the sinuses.
This is good stuff!
And it could help in so many cases of snotty replies to questions... ;)
