Along with vaginal douching - a practice that, as far as I know, is a peculiarly American (and sort of stupid) idea - it would seem that using neti pots to rinse out noses is a fad that has taken off in the US and not (again, as far as I know) in any equivalent Western country. Why do Americans take to the idea of washing out their internals so much?
I suppose I should add "colonic irrigation" to the list. Or did that start in Europe? Neti pots are from India. Even if washing out intestines started elsewhere, Americans always seem keen to pick up the idea that a good rinse out of any old orifice must be good for you.
