Sometimes when your sick, working out while ill leads to pneumonia.

Even in hyper healthy marathon runners.

MY MIL used this when she got RSV last year. It was a game changer. Worth every penny.

The "why don't people save money and just work out" is good for a chuckle because its partly true but as the air gets dryer you're still going to have inflamed sinuses and probably your nose is gonna get dried out from sucking in that much dry air.

But there's plenty of things you can do. Alternatively you could just eat something spicy (or actually most food gets my sinuses going, but spicy gets it flowing), which well you can probably just sniff some crush pepper or other as well. You can also work on taking deep breaths when showering. And if you have mucus built up in your throat, gargle some water (and shower head can double as a water pick as well).

If this is too expensive and you already have an electric (probably not a great idea to do this over a gas source) tea pot or other (steam cleaner, clothes iron), plug it in and boil/steam up some water. Just be mindful of how hot that steam can be.

And for the netti pot, you can just cup water (as someone else mentioned, distilled if possible) and snort it (and exhale it, you don't really want to get a lot of water into your lungs, you basically create a push/pull mechanism) or get one of those dropper/plunger (where you squeeze it and it inhales the water) things and spray up in your nose. They also make little squeeze bottles of saline solution to squirt in your nose (I know Wal-Mart carries some under their store brand, its cheap like not even $1 I think?) for on the go relief.

If you're prone to your nose drying out, get a q tip with a bit of vaseline (less is more here) or Vick's (if you're stopped up), or just some oil and work it around your nose a bit. More effective and less prone to getting the Vick's on your clothes/blankets compared to rubbing it on your chest.

Unless they're wiping it down with something that would disinfect its not like wiping it down will do much and that goes extra for anything airborn. Not saying you're not aware of that and its just further reinforcement of how inconsiderate those people are rather than it being about the transference of germs.

I do believe you can find shrouds/hoods to accomplish exactly that, but you really don't even need it, just lean near and breath in as you vent the steam, could throw a towel over your head as you lean over so as to try and concentrate it. But any excess will go towards humidifying the air in general, which has some benefit.

I've actually wondered why someone doesn't make/market like distilled water cartridges to use with vapes for a blast of targeted steam for this exact reason (plus it'd give cover for the addicts that would want to have an excuse to hit their vape). They probably do (have a hunch there's ones with "essential oils" and other supposed health wonders), and if I remember I searched for such and there was something about how the vaping mechanisms are inefficient for this and that it can actually wear them out. But a decent amount of that stuff is straight up disposable now.

I should clarify, I mean pure water, not vape juice as while that probably does help with some relief, the long term impacts of the nicotine and other is not gonna be a positive.

Neilmed sinus bottles are the best sinus cleaners I've found. Squeeze and get it through both noses.

Just wanted to also comment that I have one of these for about 5 years and it still works great. Really helps sooth the throat, bronchial tubes, and lungs if you have scratchy, dry coughs in the morning. Just make sure you use distilled or purified water so that gunk doesn't build up in the boiler. Make sure disassemble (only 3 parts total) and clean regularly to prevent mold and bacteria from growing.

Combined with the use of a neti pot, these two things will give you drug-free (albeit temporary) relief to most cold-/flu-like symptoms and seasonal allergies.

or just boil the water and let it cool before using! I tried keeping distilled water around for this but when I go to use my neti and realize the gallon of distilled water I bought is 3 months old Stick Out Tongue

This is just steam, if you add the Vicks pad some menthol too.
Put a pot of water on the stove, get it boiling then put a towel over your head and breath in the steam. This is what we did back in the day if we had a stufft nose over at grandma's house! If the pot of water steam works for you then buy this one cause....convience Stick Out Tongue If the pot of water steam doesn't work for you then this wont either.
Personally I find a bit of saltwater in a neti pot or one of the sinus bottles way more effective than steam.

Doesn't this basically boil the water? How else does it steam?

There's currently 2 ways to put water into the air, boil (hot) or atomize using a ultrasonic vibrator (cool). The cool method atomizes everything in the water, including anything dissolved or living.

Again, I don't understand where ppl think the first comment said they were sick
It's implied in a thread about a device that is marketed for sick people. The vast majority of people using this will be sick. If they said 'if all you have is a stuffy noise then try working out' you'd have a point but instead they came off as someone who thinks that anyone who buys this is wasting their money because working out is free.

I'm not sure about that as allergies isn't really sickness and neither is using a humidifier for dry nasal passages, which this basically is.

I have one of these. In my personal opinion I don't think it produces enough steam to do much, and I don't think you can even buy the vapo inserts for them anymore.

A couple questions on this one. 1. What does it matter how old the distilled water is? It doesn't go bad. 2. How do you know how old it is? Do you write the purchase date on the bottle?
