How Frequently Can I Use A Neti Pot?

we get this question a lot. Most people like to use the neti pot (nasal cleansing pot) one or two times per day. The easiest time to do it is during normal oral hygiene routines of brushing of teeth. Another minute and you gain the enormous benefit of the nasal cleansing! It does not really matter if you do it in the morning or the evening. There is no better time of day.


During periods of extreme stress on the nasal passages such as during extremely dusty or pollen-laden times, some people actually do it as much as 3-4 times in a day.

If the nasal passages are totally clogged and impassable, it is not really feasible to do nasal cleansing. So it is best to do it regularly to avoid getting to the point where the entire passage is blocked.

It is not recommended to do nasal cleansing if you have had recent nasal or ear canal surgery or have any kind of disease condition affecting the sinuses or nasal or ear passages. In such cases, be sure to consult your health care practitioner about the process before attempting it.
