For some, the neti pot, a nasal irrigator that resembles a small teapot, has become an alternative remedy. While it is not nearly as convenient as popping a pill or using a spray, several recent studies have found that nasal irrigation can reduce symptoms of allergies and other nasal problems.
One benefit is that irrigation can clear nasal passages without dryness or "rebound" congestion.
Researchers found regular nasal irrigation with a mild saline solution significantly eased symptoms and helped reduce the need for steroid nasal sprays. Over months, the scientists found that those treated with nasal irrigation reported greater improvements than treated with a spray.
Studies suggest that nasal irrigation can reduce sinus and allergy symptoms.
