Deal with distilled water? You go to the store and buy a gallon for 50 cents. Your pour it in the netipot. Heat and serve.
Yeah see the thing is I got this weird principle about buying water. As in from the store. I can’t explain it nor defend its logic, because my patterns in this regard are not logical. Just call it a quirk or a character flaw if you will… Ken
You could just drop some bleach in the container leave it for some time and that will purify it. But be sure to check for the different ratios of bleach per liter or gallon.
The water in my dehumidifier bucket is distilled straight from the air. Currently I only save it for my plants. Its probably cleaner than my tap water though. The machine itself and the bucket could use a cleaning, but I’d drink it in an emergency as is.
I’ve been using so much saline spray lately. I’m beginning to get worried. It is normal to take an almond sized pinch per nostril and not have any drip or runny nose? It actually seems to dry me out, which is a nice change (allergies), but I’m concerned that it is building up in there since I can’t blow anything out. What should I do? Should I buy a neti pot?
@Nietzsche_Keen if you can breathe freely, there is no blockage, your golden. a lot of snuff goes down your throat without tasting it. You want a neti pot go get one. I don’t know if it will stop you from getting dried out. Saline spray is salt water. You may be using too much. I use acorn size doses for years but ever nose is different, I get about 1/20 th coming out when I shower than what I take in.

That happens to me with toque snuffs. They just don’t cause any snot to flow. I personally like it . I don’t have to worry about Brown stuff dripping out of my nose while out and about. Just haveto cleanout the crusties with a handkerchief a couple of times a day. I do use a netti pot every 2 or 3 days just for the hell of it when I’m not being lazy. Also When at home and I feel blocked up I’ll use something that I know will get the juices flowing. Something like bohica, or a heavy menthol. Poschls will do it for me too but that’s because my nose doesn’t agree with the oils in most of them.
I as well use a neti pot. Mmm…Useful preventative for many ailments, it is. Use regularly you should. lol use distilled water save pain. if you can’t buy distilled or don’t want to. buy it, boil water and condense steam it’s real easy. use neti pot they work excellent.
