If you’re like most Oklahoma residents, allergy season hit you like a sucker punch to the sinuses. Luckily, Lassiter Drugs carries a non-drug, non-drowsy remedy: Neti pots. If you’re undaunted by the thought of salinized distilled water traveling into one nostril, grabbing up all that trapped sinus mucus and coming out the other nostril, then this is for you. Even if you’re not OK with it, perhaps you should be.
