Neti Pot is the answer during the seasons of allergies, cold and flu, and when you have sinus headaches. You fill your Neti Pot with room temperature purified water, or room temperature water after boiling, and you will mix a pinch of Himalayan Neti Salt into the  water. 

Tilt your head to one side as you lean over the basin, it works best when you tilt your head as far as you can.  Then place the tip of the Neti Pot into the nostril that is on top, and gently pour the water into that nostril. The water will come out the other nostril, the nostril at the bottom. You will instinctively know when to stop pouring the water through the nostril. Sometimes I will pour a full pot of water through each nostril. Sometimes I will pour half of the water in the Neti Pot into one nostril, stop and blow my nose. Then the remaining half of the water in the Neti Pot in the other nostril, and blowing forcefully after pouring the water.  

Let me be honest...at first it is an unusual sensation that will take a minute to get use to, but the relief is immediate, and the benefits are so amazing that you have to give it a try...it honestly works. Some of the benefits of the Neti Pot - Clears the nostrils for free breathing through the nostrils; removes excess mucous; reduces pollen, or allergies in nasal passages; relieves nasal dryness; reduces cold and flu symptoms; alleviates sinus headaches; improves your sense of smell and taste; and reduces snoring.

We are in the height of allergy season, and cold and flu season you have to give it a try...
