Neti pots or "nose bidets" use warm salt water to clear the nasal passages. The medical explanation is that rinsing the nose thins the mucus and flushes out debris, allowing the cilia (the tiny hair-like structures that move mucus through the nose and throat) to work more effectively to remove allergens and other irritants from the body.
