Neti pots irrigate nasal passages to relieve sinus pressure and congestion. Although neti pots have benefits, they can cause health problems as well. Use distinctly labeled distilled or sterile bottled water for this process. Distillation removes potentially harmful organic contaminants, such as bacteria and amoebas, that may not be removed through other purification methods and should not be introduced to the nose.
