Nasal irrigation with salt water can be remarkably soothing for cold and allergy sufferers; but you can only spend so much time leaning over a sink with a neti pot up your nose. Why not take the pot and the sink with you everywhere you go?
Based on another ancient Ayurvedic invention -- the beer helmet -- the Neti Hat contains an ample saline supply, heated to body temperature, connected to both nostrils with comfortable plugs. Two-way stopcocks control the flow: open one of them, admitting water to one nostril (note: hold your breath while doing this), and turn the other the opposite way to drain the outflow downward into a waste receptacle, e.g. a discreet back-mounted snot-pack. Repeat as needed -- any time, anywhere. This is the life!

I particularly like the little teardrop.-- po, Sep 15 2010 Beautiful!-- gnomethang, Sep 15 2010 Nicely done hob.-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, Sep 15 2010 I do have my doubts on the anatomical details though, I must say...-- po, Sep 15 2010 You don't need the reservoir if you combine it with amaroli.-- nineteenthly, Sep 15 2010 Wouldn't suggest wearing one of these of a first date though.
And yea, [+] for any idea with such a nice illustration.-- doctorremulac3, Sep 15 2010 Simple, elegant, functional...absolutely brilliant idea (and illustration)! [+]-- Boomershine, Sep 15 2010 [nineteenthly] I had to look up amaroli..... oh. Yeah. Why don't you try that and get back to me... :)-- hob, Sep 15 2010 OK, i'm going to link to my wife's interview on YouTube now.-- nineteenthly, Sep 15 2010 So, then *I* had to look up amaroli. I can live with the reservoir.-- Boomershine, Sep 16 2010 although Neti pots really make me choke, this is a wonderful invention and so nice to see you here again! +-- xandram, Sep 16 2010 Would a septum piercing nullify the effectiveness of such a device?-- infidel, Sep 19 2010 [infidel] Look at the drawing. NOTHING could EVER nullify the effectiveness of this device. It is completely unnullifiable.-- Boomershine, Sep 20 2010 True. It is a very nice drawing.-- infidel, Sep 20 2010 //It is a very nice drawing.//
It's way beyond nice. I vote we put this image on our (US) currency. Maybe the $77 bill, or something.-- Boomershine, Sep 20 2010 A notion as off such deviced hat ting device, delight, is highly favourable as a pure business, off devoid Market's, and other malignent, spread's ing'zz device,,
