The neti pot craze: how long before it reaches psoriasis?

Psoriasis, because it has no cure, is never lacking for alternative remedies, from the harmless to the helpful to the ridiculous to the dangerous. It makes us wonder how long before this craze is said to improve psoriasis:

Originally part of a millennia-old Indian yogic tradition, the practice of nasal irrigation - jala neti - is performed with a small pot that looks like a cross between Aladdin's lamp and your grandmother's gravy boat. The neti pot made its way into this country in the early 1970s as a yoga meditation device, but even as yoga became mainstream, the neti pot remained on the fringes of alternative culture.

That is, until now. Due to a confluence of influences, the neti pot is having what can only be termed a moment, sold in drugstores, health food stores, even at Wal-Mart and Walgreens.

The practice gained wide exposure last spring when it was introduced on Oprah Winfrey's show....

Well, anyone want to give it a try and share your experiences? There's no reason to believe nasal irrigation will improve psoriasis, but it's been on Oprah....

Happy New Year! Back to serious posts shortly.
