A bouquet garni is a bundle of aromatic herbs used to flavor soups and stews, and removed before serving. They can be made from any herbs, but typically contain thyme, bay leaf and parsley. I used what I had on hand, thyme from the garden and some sad looking dried bay leaves. Herbs can be tied into a bundle or wrapped in cheese cloth, but I like to keep everything secure inside a celery rib or leek tops. Here’s to your health, don’t let the cold catch you! [...]

Something about memories of days at the beach with salt water up my nose…

Feeling awful and stuffy today. Your post has inspired me to face my fear! Thanks for the reminder, especially now that drugs are not an option for me.

I think I can do it…

I use a little wooden scoop that I keep by the salt dish, which I just measured, and it turns out is one teaspoon. I like the baking soda tip. I will try that. Thanks, Sharie!

Do you make your salt water mix or do you purchase a saline solution? My cousin’s doctor recommended 1 cup of warm water, 1/2 tsp sea salt and a pinch of baking soda.

I agree that the plastics are not the best, but I can’t be trusted with breakables in the bathroom. I have visited your site and have seen the product. It looks lovely, but is double the price of many ceramic neti pots. I have also used a ceramic soy sauce dispenser that I purchased for two dollars in Chinatown as a neti pot and it worked great.
