Does anyone know where I can find a Neti Pot (nasal irrigation - joy!) in Busan? Or something similar?

Do they carry them at Costco??

I had one sent to me from the States this winter by family. I feel your pain.

An alternative I saw posted somewhere is to get a small baby bottle with the rubberry top. Use it the same way.

With the neti I got from the States it came with a saline and baking soda like mix to soften the harshness but obviously salt is the main ingredient.

Any squeeze bottle will do. It's not the pot that irrigates your sinuses, it's the saline.

You don't want a squeeze bottle. You shouldn't be forcing the saline through your nose. A small measuring cup with a tiny spout on it will suffice in a pinch. You just need something to adequately channel the saline into one nostril.

A squeeze bottle is fine. Saline is not thick like ketchup or syrup, it will flow out of the bottle when you tip it over. No need to squeeze when gravity does all the work.

I recently ordered protein powder from iherb and I am now a lifetime customer. The delivery was $4 and took only 3 days. I was shocked. And they have Neti Pots as well!!
