Health educator stresses the importance of sinus cleansing

With fall allergy season underway and Americans concerned about keeping their family safe from H1N1 and other flu viruses, health educator and fitness trainer Isabella "Betti" Jones is urging Americans to take a proactive, natural approach to staying healthy - the important step of daily sinus cleansing. Also known as "Neti cleansing" or "nasal irrigation," sinus cleansing is a safe and natural way to remove viruses, allergens and fungus from the sinus using lukewarm water and sea salt. Ms. Jones recently introduced The Betti Pot(TM), the only 100% "green" sinus cleansing system made in the U.S.A. from high-fired porcelain and sustainable, non-toxic and recyclable materials, to help Americans stave off colds, virus, the flu and other sinus ailments.

"I designed the Betti Pot to be a more comfortable and eco-friendly way to stay healthy," stated Jones. "Easy for anyone to use, including children, it sends a gentle stream of warm water and sea salt through nasal passages to clean allergens, viruses, bacteria, yeast or fungus out of the sinus. When I first introduced this inexpensive, all-natural practice to my family and students, they became passionate about how refreshed, energetic and healthy they felt. I've practiced sinus cleansing for more than 35 years to protect my family from colds and the flu and want all Americans to know that this is as important to their proactive health routine as washing hands, exercising, eating nutritious foods, reducing stress and brushing your teeth," concluded Jones.

Doctors are encouraging Americans to practice proactive health as protection from the H1N1 flu and for year-round wellness. It is important to remember to wash hands often with soap and water, keep your immune system healthy with regular exercise, stress reduction and nutritious foods, and to clean your sinus daily.

Sinus cleansing began as an ancient yogic cleansing technique, called Jala neti, and is practiced today worldwide. The Betti Pot, which resembles a tea pot, works to flush and cleanse the sinus without chemicals, while reducing inflammation of nasal passages, providing natural relief from congestion. It leaves sinus passages clear to allow for easier breathing and a healthier sinus, while helping to reduce swelling and puffiness around the eyes, without side effects typically associated with sinus, allergy and cold medications. The Betti Pot provides an invigorating, soothing and refreshing feeling of clean, open sinus passages and overall well-being.
