What kind of Neti Pot is best?
Neti Pots can be made of many different materials, such as plastic, ceramic, copper, or stainless steel. Most experts agree that the stainless steel types of Neti Pots are best, because they are the most sterile, can hold a large amount of solution, and are durable. Ceramic Neti Pots are often too small and fragile, while plastic Neti Pots tend to deteriorate more quickly due to the salt water solution used in the process. Copper Neti Pots work well, but are often expensive and can leave residue in the nose. There are also different designs and shapes of Neti Pot, but as long the nozzle of your Neti Pot fits comfortably in your nostril and creates a seal, so that water does not escape, and so long as it holds at least 16oz of water, it will work well.
