RE: Homemade Nedi Pot Mixture
I make mine with a 3 parts salt to one part baking soda measure. I put the both in food processor & process to get the mixture combined and the salt powdered. This seems to work just fine. Store in airtight container and mix about 1/8 tsp. with warm water in Neti pot.

Can anyone tell me if using the Neti-Pot helps post nasal drip? I used it for two weeks and cannot tell any difference. It is so aggravating because it drips down my throat at night and the next morning sometimes I can hardly talk. I use the sea salt and water, not soda with it as my doctor directed. What does the soda do?

The mixture I use is fine sea salt and baking sode, at a ratio of 2 parts sea salt to 1 part baking soda. I mix it in a sealable container and use 1/2 teaspoon per 8 oz of water. My husband uses a whole teaspoon of the mix, so the mix to water ratio is by personal taste. The sea salt is easily found in the grocery store and does not contain iodine.

RE: Homemade Nedi Pot Mixture
I don't even use a neti pot, I just use a cup from the cupboard, pour into my hand, much easier. Done this for several years. Can mix up 1/4 cup at time. It should not sit around, should be fresh each time you do it. Have taught my nieces, nephews, granchildren as small kids how to do this too. Adults is harder for them to get it. Practice in the shower. I am a swimmer, so the face in the water, nose in the water is not a big deal. I just use the koscher--a pinch to 1/4 cup warm water. My Allergist gave me a pot to use, till in the drawer. More work than the way I do it.

RE: Homemade Nedi Pot Mixture
I use fine, non-iodized kosher salt and a sometimes a drop of tea tree oil with 8 ounces of warm water in my neti pot. The tea tree oil is antibacterial, so I use it when my sinuses are particularly inflamed or infected, but it's pretty potent, so one drop is literally all you need.

Mix 1/4 teaspoon of NON-iodized salt and 8 ounces (one liquid measuring cup) of warm water. You can add a pinch of baking soda, if desired. I just use kosher salt from the grocery store, and baking soda from the pantry!
