A member asked:
Is using a neti pot if you do not have sinuses considered safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neti Pot: Neti pot irrigation of the nose/sinuses with saline (salt water) is a very safe "natural" way to clean the nose. There is little risk of harm with this technique. While some people are missing specific sinuses, if would be extremely unlikely to not have any. If you have had sinus surgery to open the sinuses, a neti pot is more effective.
