A nettipot is a container used to rinse your sinus cavities. It clears mucus and pollen which helps with allergies and colds. I use a nettipot bottle which you can buy at walmart. You use sterilized water (I use bottled water) and the kit I bought has the salt packets to mix in. Seems to have helped me quite a bit especially with my cough. It was something my pulminologist and regular dr recommended to do at least once a day. Hope this helps.

I use a squeeze bottle that does the same thing. You can make you saline solution which is way cheaper.
1t non-iodized salt and a pinch of baking soda in one cup sterilized water. I just boil some water up in the electric kettle and either let it cool. Or if it's cold, heat it in the microwave for 30 seconds. Also, way cheaper than bottled water and I know it's really been sterilized.

A nettiepot rinses your sinuses by running water through them. You can purchase one at any drug store/pharmacy. It does help to lower sinus infections and relieve symptoms of colds and sinus infections. Ask your pharmacist to help you find one. Good luck!
