Boiling water does not make it distilled. The steam from the water needs to be collected for it to be distilled and that's a fairly complicated business to do. |

The process can be carried out safely with water that has been boiled and allowed to cool |

There's nothing especially magical about these pots, though flushing your sinuses with an appropriate solution is helpful. Very dilute saline solution is ideal, where the water is prepared as others point out. |
