Hey, get that gravy boat out of your nose!

Being a business owner, sometimes you may feel that you aren't allowed to get sick or take time off work if you've got the sniffles. False. First off, no one wants to be around you while you hack up a lung. Second, resting and taking time to get well, when you feel run-down is a smart business move since being out of commission while that nagging cough turns into full-blown pnumonia will only cost you more dough in the long term.


So for all you self-employed bosses out there, get plenty of rest, eat right and meet my secret weapon...the neti pot. Yogis of yore have been irrigating their nasal passages for a long time. Here's why it works:

  • removes bacteria filled musus from your nasal passages, including the dirt and grime that accumulates from environmental toxins
  • lubricates the sinus cavities which can become dry and raw from dry indoor air. This can leave us vulnerable to infections
  • helps to eliminate or alleviate allergy symptoms (the neti pot helps to drain the sinus cavities)
  • helps to flush the tear ducts – clarity of vision = clarity of mind


Mia describes it best when she shares her experience with the neti pot: She likens it to going swimming in a crisp salt-water ocean...coming out and feeling absolutely refreshed.


Here's an instructional video I found.

Go forth neti-potters!


BTW...ceramic Neti Pots are now back in stock at GL!
