Water Pick Attachment as Drug Free Allergy Treatment?

Question by Bill Cousert: Water Pick attachment as drug free allergy treatment?
About ten years ago, I saw a short news segment about an attatchment for a Water Pick machine that would allow you to irrigate your sinuses. It was supposedly a drug free treatment for seasonal allergies.

Does this thing really exist? I asked several pharmacists over the years and nobody knows what I’m talking about.

If so, do they work well enough to give up antihystimines?

It’s called a “Neti Pot” but you can do the same thing with a baby nose booger sucker outer. Just take some warm saline water and inject it into one nostril while holding the other shut and let the saline water run back out of your nostril then repeat on the other side.

Hope it helps

Edit: They do work but I don’t think I would eliminate the antihistimines because they work on two different levels, one internally and one externally

well, i never heard about it and i guess it is not yet scientifically approved since you wont find it in any international books or media… and it is not even used in most of the tertiary level hospital, making us conclude that those couldn’t be effective…

and as i had imagined how it is done through you description and through the description of your first answerer, i guess that has no scientific explanation in how it helps… i could even put you to ham since you are at a great risk of aspiration leading to aspiration pneumonia.
