Yeah, go down to Walmart and look for NeilMed packets. Mix with water.

Sure, you can play around with varying amounts of salt, soda and water, but why?

my neti pot holds about 8 oz. I just put 1/4 teasp kosher salt or sea salt in the pot when it's filled with comfortably warm water, stir and use. I gently blow my nose afterward. I spend a lot of time in barns and around farm animals and hay, so I ted to net at least 1x day and sometimes 2x. Over the past 3 years I have gone from 3 sinus infections a year to a total of 2 in 3 years. If you find that your nose is dry anyway, you can put a dab of sesame oil in each nostril after neti.

One cup distilled water, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (no iodine), pinch of baking soda. Warm to body temp.
