I wondered the exact same thing! Especially since I read about a woman who died using a neti pot because germs from the water got into her brain— so boiling the water used for this should be done, right? Adding tea would be easy.

I can’t do it but I know someone who is a big proponent of using a neti pot.

Yeah, boiling for sure, or at least pastuerizing, after the tea has steeped in case of contamination from the tea itself, but then does that “turn off” whatever benefit the black tea supposedly has?

I sometimes use the NeilMed netipot which comes with a sodium packet. I use distilled water, and put in the packet plus a few drops of povidine iodine. Not sure how much I would trust tea, especially if it contains pesticides.
