Earlier this year I became intrigued by a neti-pot and was surprised that many of you used them for sinus allergies and symptoms. A study presented at the recent American College of Allergy, Asthma, & Immunology meeting found that neti-pot use may actually increase your risk of infection.

Stopping neti-pot use was associated with a 62% decrease in sinus infections. The authors pointed out that neti-pots do provide relief of bothersome sinus symptoms, but that chronic use may wash away some of your bodies natural defenses and increase your risk of infection. What do you think?
