Re: Neti Pot; what kind of salt?

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know whether the kind of salt used with the Neti Pot is

important, or is table salt okay? Does anyone recommend using good

quality salt like Celtic Sea Salt?

Bee,

Celtic salt is not recommended for neti, because it contains other minerals

besides sodium chloride. Sea salt is good, or pickling salt.

No one really said so I bought some Netipot Salt at the same time I

bought the neti pot. Under ingredients it reads: USP grade salt. Other

places on the jar reads " Pure non-iodized salt, no additives or caking

agents, pharmaceutical grade " . Does that tell you if we could use

celtic sea salt? For some reason I cannot bring up the site that so

has the best info about it. It's www.jalanetipot.com
