Neti pots have been featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show and many people all over the internet are singing their praises. Basically a neti pot is a form of nasal irrigation that is supposed to greatly improve sinus allergy symptoms. You take a small tea pot looking device filled with salt water and insert it into one of your nostrils. The salt water goes through your sinuses and out the other nostril. You can see a video of someone demonstrating the neti pot. A very small study at the University of Wisconsin demonstrated some self reported benefits for asthmatics using nasal irrigation.
