| Irrigate with a weft' pot. Available in natural-health stores, a neti pot looks like a small teapot. It is used to flush a saline solution through the nose, nasal passages and sinuses.
Flushing these areas once or twice daily when you're congested can improve drainage and reduce symptoms—or prevent sinusitis when you have a cold or allergies.
How to Use a Neti Pot
Mix approximately one-third teaspoon of salt and a pinch of baking powder in one cup of lukewarm water. Pour the solution into the neti pot.
Rotate and tip your head over a sink, and pour the solution into one nostril. |

 KOMBU
WAKAME
Kombu can be used for soup stock or added to a pot of beans. It helps the beans cook faster and renders them more digestible. It contains potassium, calcium, vitamins A and C, and between 100 and 500 times the iodine in shellfish. According to natural-foods expert Rebecca Wood, kombu should not be eaten excessively during pregnancy.
NORI
Best known to sushi lovers, nori is the seaweed that wraps around hand rolls. It contains protein, calcium, iron, potassium, and more vitamin A than carrots. |

 Leaning over the pot, drape a towel over both your head and the pot. Breathe in the steam for about 7 minutes or so. If the water cools enough that the steam starts to dissipate, gently blowing into the herb pot will cause more steam to rise.
SUPPOSITORIES
A suppository is used to draw toxins from or soothe irritation in the vagina or rectum. To make herbal suppositories, mix together well-powdered herbs with enough softened cocoa butter to make a thick paste. Form the mixture into suppository-size shapes and refrigerate. |

 A ceramic pot, known as a "neti lota" pot, makes this procedure easy. Alternatively, a small watering pot with a tapered spout may be used. Fill the pot with warm water and add enough salt so the solution tastes like tears. Stand over a sink, tilt your head far to one side so your ear is parallel to the floor, and pour the solution into the upper nostril, allowing it to drain through the lower nostril. Repeat on the other side. This procedure may be performed two or three times a day.
Some practitioners may treat sinus problems using various manipulation techniques. |

 The technological leap from potash to soap requires the addition of fat to the pot and to the ash. Although soap making was known to a limited extent in the classical period, it later died out. True soap was reintroduced into Europe only in the late Middle Ages. In the ancient world, washing with a cleanser, by and large, meant washing with an alkali substance. The alkali could be vegetable (usually meaning potassium carbonate), mineral (soda, derived from plant or mineral), or animal. Animal alkali equated with ammonia, the best source of which was urine, the most reliable donors being humans. |

 It's like the old parable about the frog and the pot of water. According to the parable, if you drop a frog in boiling water, it'll jump out immediately. However, if you put a frog in a pot of cool water and then slowly heat the water to boiling, the frog will stay in the pot and cook to death. The same is true with you and stress. If the amount of stress you've accumulated in your life were to hit you all at once, it would be overwhelming, forcing you to deal with it. However, since it comes to you gradually, you don't feel yourself "boiling. |

 But the Ayurvedic tradition of India encourages nasal washing with what's known as a neti pot. This porcelain container looks a little like Aladdin's lamp. It allows saltwater to be poured into one nostril and exit out the other. This washing process is supposed to clear the nasal passages of dust, pollen, and other allergens.
You can find neti pots at some health-food stores or by calling the Himalayan Institute at 800-822-4547. Visit their Web site at www.netipot.org to get an idea of what we are talking about. A ceramic pot costs $18 to $20.

 If you don't have a pot, there are several types you might investigate. For example, many teapots come with a perforated infuser designed to hold loose tea (as shown in Figure 4). Others have a built-in strainer at the base of the spout to hold back the wet leaves. Either type of pot, with infuser or strainer, makes it easy to enjoy freshly brewed tea. Or you might do as "milady" did centuries ago and simply rest a tea strainer on the cup and pour the tea through it (as shown in Figure 5).

 Mencken was to say that though America was called the melting pot of all the races, in reality the only thing that melted was the pot.
A hundred years previously the pot was in far greater danger, and the sectionalism a chronic deterrent to national unity. States' rights were paramount; "Americanism" had to be overstated as a counterweight. Differences between Europe and the early United States became more psychologically and politically important than similarities. |

 Put the tea into a pot and pour the boiled water over the tea as soon as the water has stopped bubbling. After no longer than 35-45 seconds, pour the tea through a sieve into a teapot, otherwise the tea loses much of its effectiveness. You may use the same leaves a second time by applying the same procedure.
Does Green Tea Contain Toxins?
Some web sites on the Internet claim that tea is very high in fluoride content. Fluoride in tea is supposedly much higher than the Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) set for fluoride in drinking water. |

| Before about 1720 no factory in Europe would have been capable of making a ceramic pot that could withstand boiling or even very hot water, but some entrepreneur, observing the beautiful shape of the Chinese wine flask, suggested that it should be copied and sold in Europe as a teapot. The pot, therefore, is in effect a foreign invention, not used in China.
The teacup with a handle is also a foreign invention, specifically European. The Chinese did not put handles on their own teacups, because they drank their tea cool enough to render handles unnecessary—though they did not use milk. |

| Combine the herbs and oil in a slow cooker (such as a Crock pot). Set the cooker to the low heat setting and cook for a couple of hours.
When the oil is ready, strain out the herbs by pouring the oil through a stainless-steel strainer or potato ricer lined with clean muslin. If you press the herbs that collect in the strainer, keep the oil you get from pressing separate from the rest, since it will contain more water and should be used soon.
Store the infused oil in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid. Fill the jar entirely; having an air space at the top can encourage bacterial growth. |

 Clean the hen or chicken, put it in a large stovetop pot, and cover it with cold water. Bring the water to a boil. Add the chicken wings, onions, sweet potato, parsnips, turnips, and carrots.
Reduce heat and simmer for 1 'A hours. Remove fat from the surface of the water as it accumulates.
Add the celery and parsley. Simmer the mixture about 45 minutes longer. Remove the chicken. The chicken is not used further for the soup. (The meat makes excellent chicken parmesan.)
With a measuring cup or ladle, scoop the broth and vegetable mixture into a food processor or blender. |

| Treating it as if it were its own cause is like cleaning a dirty pot with filthy mud; it will never get clean. Of course, you can throw away the pot and thereby solve the problem, but when it comes to preparing a new meal, you will face an even bigger problem: you have nothing to cook your food in. Similarly, by killing the cancer we also kill the patient; perhaps not right away, but gradually.
Despite the huge effort and expenditure on behalf of the medical establishment, mortality rates from cancer remain unchanged. |

| The Blackfeet of Montana tell of a young monster-slayer, Kut-o-yis, who was discovered by his foster parents when the old man and woman put a clot of buffalo blood to boil in a pot. "Immediately there came from the pot a noise as of a child crying, as if it were being hurt, burnt, or scalded. They looked in the kettle, and saw there a little boy, and they quickly took it out of the water. They were very much surprised. . . . |
