Nose fun
I have discovered the wonders of a Neti Pot. I got it a while ago but something about the idea of pouring water in my nose made me really nervous to try it. Well, my dr. advised that I use a neti pot to help clear out my sinuses and my dad pointed out that the nasal spray that was prescribed to me would work a lot better if I cleaned out my sinuses first. So, I looked up the recipe on the net (from Dr Oz’s information from the Oprah show where he showed how to use one), pulled out the pot and finally just did it. You know what…it wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought it would be while doing it, and I felt so much better afterwards. I felt enough better that I think it is worth packing the thing when I go to Germany.
Today I decided to put my salt into the vitamix dry blender and grind it finer so that it dissolved easier. I was shocked to see how fine of a powder that salt could be made into. It worked wonderfully.
Thank goodness I have people around me not on pain meds because I didn’t really think much of the possible consequences of packing a white powder in a baggie and putting it in my luggage for an international trip. It wouldn’t be helped one bit by my explanation of “I use it for my nose”. My mom pointed out that I should probably just buy some salt there, and LEAVE IT THERE instead of being all frugal and bringing it back with me. It would suck to end up in Guatamano Bay for packing salt on an overseas flight.
I can just hear it now:
Cellmate: What are you in for?
Me: pot possession with a salt (read that aloud for the full effect)
ROFLMAO!!!
