Some people swear by neti pots to help keep things moving and ease congestion.
However, if you’ve got the flu - don’t use it. According to Dr. Woodson Merrell, director of Beth Israel’s Center for Health and Healing in New York, using neti pots with a viral infection will hurt you rather than help you. He says they’re fine for colds only.
If you do come down with the flu or another viral woe, crank up the steam and humidity. Viruses have a harder time surviving in humid conditions and keeping the air in your home and bedroom moist can help prevent the virus from spreading to other family members.
