neti pot & hopi candles

[paulz]

d+d widow mentioned a 'neti pot' [see head colds] that you fill with salty water and tip up your nose to flush out your sinuses. Where do you get them from, any more tips on how to use? Anyone tried hopi candles [burnt just above your ear] to draw out hard wax & stuff. Anywhere in west sussex where both/either are available? ta.

hopi candles are excellent, highly recommend them alternative health shops usually stock them. i get mine from www.baldwins.co.uk my dp has had sinus trouble since always and these are the only thing that help. cut down on your dairy intake too if you have sinus trouble. dairy is mucous producing.

Re Hopi Ear Candles: I'm in East Sussex and my missus works in a health food shop that sells these candles. If you have no luck finding some, post here again and we could work out some sort of mail order thing between you and the shop.

TracyH & Mortartube Thanks. What's the name of the shop? next time I come down that way I'lll look it up. Cheers!

The shop is called Healthibody and it's in the High street in Newhaven, (top end of the town). Only 1 pack left yesterday. �6.50 for pack of two.

Mortartube - Thanks for that do they do mail order?

Not normally, but I can get my other half to have a word with the owner and work out P&P etc and then I can let you know the cost. It would have to be a cheque though, as they don't take plastic.

paulz - i got my neti pot from Ickwell Bury Yoga centre website is www.yogaforhealthfoundation.co.uk They're very simple to use, you fill with luke warm water and add just a tiny amount of salt and stir. Tip your head to one side (do this over the sink or bath!!!) and place neti pot gently in one nostril (tip head left for right nostril and vice versa). slowly pour half of the contents through nostril (don't let it go down your throat, it should pour out of the other nostril), then repeat on other side. try to avoid blowing your nose afterwards as this will just fill your nose up again!!! hope this helps. good luck trying it.
