      Never use tap water it has combined chlorine it (at least where I live it does)

      Probably better if you just use Johnny Walker Blue Label

      Edit : source of how I know the tap water has combined chlorine… My brother has the testing equipment because he takes care of a swimming pool.

      Is it a netti pot? I’ve seen those but snorting a teapot with water seemed extreme to me but I know nothing about it 🤪

        no no, it’s like the photo bellow. My doctor recomended because there is a button that allows the water to go on the necessary speed only, that way it doesn’t allow water to go to your ears and give you an infection.

      Everytime I hear someone mention sinus, I get confused about what that is. Wikipedia says it’s airpockets surrounding the nose. I don’t feel anything besides fat and bone when I press down around my nose. Are they inside the skull? How do you access them?

        Yes they are air pockets inside the skull, that’s why when you clean it you can just push water through one nostril and it will come out on the other, because it fills the sinus. Also, sometimes you can feel you teeth too sensitive because you have something on the sinus above them
