Also known as hay fever or allergic rhinitis, seasonal allergies are triggered by allergens like pollen, dust, and mold. Its symptoms, including sneezing, congestion, runny nose, and itchy eyes, can be quite bothersome

If you want to clear your nose and feel better without using strong medicines, neti pots can help. These small pots have been used for a long time in Ayurvedic medicine

Here's how to do it properly for maximum benefits. First of all, make a saltwater solution using clean, boiled, or distilled  water (not tap water) and salt

Once the water is ready, tilt your head to one side. Put the spout gently into one nostril and let the water flow through your sinuses and out of the other nostril

Doing it daily help relieve stuffy noses, especially at night. It also makes your sinuses clearer and reduces the need for strong nasal sprays. The saltwater soothes dry and sore nasal passages

However, remember to always use clean water to avoid infections Ceramic pots with a solid handle are good for cleanliness. Also, tilt your head without pointing your chin down to help the water flow
