Breathe Easier with Nose Bidet
What is a Nose Bidet? And what is Neti Pot?
Read on more from http://thenosebidet.com/.
The "nose bidet" refers to something called a neti pot. A neti pot is used to "clean out" the nose and sinuses- thus the comparison to a bidet.
Oprah Winfrey and Doctor Oz were discussing neti pots on her talk show in April 2007. They brought one out and asked the audience if anyone knew what it was. A woman in the audience stated that it was a nose bidet. Most viewers had no idea what this was. Dr. Oz then explained and demonstrated how to clean the sinuses with a neti pot.
The nose bidet was revisited on a new episode on May 21, 2007. This appearance on Oprah Winfrey has caused the demand for these "nose bidets" to skyrocket- just like everything else that appears on her show. Many people are now searching for nose bidets while everyone else is left scratching their heads asking "What the heck is a nose bidet?"
Amazon.com has wide ranges of Neti Pot selections. Do check out some of their starter kits.
The Neti Pot Starter Kit contains everything you need to begin a daily nasal wash routine--Ceramic Neti Pot, Neti Pot Salt 10 oz jar, and Neti Wash Plus 2 oz bottle.
The bestselling ceramic Neti Pot makes nasal irrigation easy and comfortable. The trademarked lotus design and distinctive shape dispenses the perfect rate of flow to optimally cleanse the sinus passages. Made with lead-free ceramic and glaze. Neti Pot Salt is 99.99% USP grade salt, the highest purity salt commercially available, perfect for use with the nasal wash system.
The salt is non-iodized and contains no additives or anti-caking agents. 10 oz refillable jar with measuring spoon. Neti Wash Plus contains zinc and herbal extracts that add anti-microbial and anti-viral support to your nasal wash. Zinc helps to tone and astringe the nasal passages reducing excess mucus and promoting clear, healthy sinuses. Studies show that zinc can shorten the duration of a cold.
* Ingredients: Zinc acetate, Goldenseal root (Hydrastis canadensis), Phellodendron bark (Phellodendron amurense), Coptis root (Coptis chinensis), Barberry root bark (Berberis vulgaris), Grapefruit seed extract, vegetable glycerin and distilled, purified water. *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

The Starter Kit contains everything needed for a daily nasal wash routine - Ceramic Neti Pot , Neti Pot Salt 10 oz jar, and Neti Wash Plus 2 oz bottle. The Himalayan Institute introduced the Neti Pot 35 years ago as the perfect tool to support sinus health.
The Neti Pot naturally cleanses, refreshes, and protects the nasal passages and has been used for thousands of years in Ayurvedic medicine to alleviate allergy and sinus problems. Ingredients: Zinc acetate, Goldenseal root (Hydrastis canadensis), Phellodendron bark (Phellodendron amurense), Coptis root (Coptis chinensis), Barberry root bark (Berberis vulgaris), Grapefruit seed extract, vegetable glycerin and distilled, purified water.

Carmen Kontur Gronquist Posed in Black Bra & Panties!
Carmen Kontur Gronquis upset the residents of Arlington because she posted pictures, wearing only a black bra and panties on her MySpace page. She was on one of the town’s fire engines. The MySpace page was blocked and only available to her friends, but the pictures were at one time available to all MySpace users. In an interview with the Pendleton East Oregonian, the mayor said she did nothing wrong and those who are offended need to get over it.
“It’s a picture of her in bra and panties on a rural protection fire truck in a rural protection firehall,” said Lorena Woods, a longtime resident. “This isn’t the way we want our city to be portrayed.”
She responded:
That my personal life,” she said staunchly. “It has nothing to do with my mayor’s position.” She said the photos were taken before she was mayor, but saw no reason to remove them from the Internet after she took office. “I’m not going to change who I am,” she said. “There’s a lot of officials that have a personal life, and you have people in this community who have nothing better to do than scrape up stuff like this … and if this is all they have to do, there is nothing they can do about it.” The mayor also refused to provide a fuller context about the photos. “I’m not going to answer that,” she said, seconds before hanging up the phone.
Carmen Kontur Gronquist, who is also the fire department’s executive secretary, said the photos were taken before she was elected mayor three years ago, and she saw no reason to remove them from the Internet after taking office.
The Councilman Jeff Bufton mentioned that he heard a lot of negative comments about the pictures, but declined to say whether the council plans to address the issue.
As soon as we will locate the racy lingerie pictures we will post them here.
