I happened to be in front of a TV the other day and just about every single ad was for some sort of drug. The ones that always get to me are the ones for hay fever, from which I suffer.
Some years ago, I discovered the “neti pot,” a method of flushing out your sinuses with salt water and removing pollen and other irritants. I use the neti pot instead of drugs and am completely satisfied.
What bothers me about the hay fever drug ads is that they convince people to take chemicals–for an entire season–that stress the kidney and liver when the neti pot does the trick without any side effects.
And of course, when we use non-pharmaceutical solutions like the neti pot, we don’t end up with pharmaceuticals tainting our water supply.
So what I wondered is: What other remedies do No Impact Man readers have up their sleeves for use instead of drugs? Please share.
Meanwhile, I’ve added a video of how to use the neti pot below.
