I’m guessing it’s from dry air god me but even with humidifier I always have to blow my nose a bunch of times in the morning. Sometimes my lungs feel tight for a while after waking up. This happen to anybody else? Why does it happen for you?

Yes exactly, a game changer for me as well.
I used to use tap water too. I have to highlight why distilled or boiled water is important though. Tap water isn’t sterile and there have been cases of microbes creating infections when used with Neti pots.
Naegleria fowleri is a brain-eating amoeba that has been linked to tap water usage in Neti pots, among other scenarios.
These cases are rare, to be fair, but still worth avoiding with distilled or boiled water. There could be other less fatal microbes junking things up, after all.
I gotta clarify, boiled but then cooled water for use in your Neti pots!
I live in France where we don’t have brain eating amoebae in the tap water.
You doesn’t inject the water, you just clean out shit that is overwhelming the system, safety wise it’s like gargling water if you don’t over do it.
I mean if you do live where there are brain eating things in the drinking water, yeah do buy sterile water and proceed accordingly for sure.
Fascinating. I had assumed it was everywhere but I looked it up and it does seem pretty rare globally. It has caused illness in countries nearby you though so be careful traveling :)
