Nasal Rinse Neti Pot - 2.6 oz - Liquid Review

Nasal Rinse Neti Pot - 2.6 oz - Liquid
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've used a number of different nasal irrigators -- and don't think I'm unaware of the humor value of that statement -- many of which I consider downright dangerous. Anything that requires you to squeeze or push fluid into your nose has the potential to force that fluid into your eustacian tubes. I found that out the hard way, and suffered from sinus and ear problems for several years as a result.
You say it's a miracle I'd ever even try this business again? Well actually no, it isn't because I do know it works. I'd used a classic neti pot for a long time with good results, but two things made me want to switch to a different method of irrigation. First, the classic neti required me to turn my head almost 90 degrees to the side while bending double over the sink. Second, the neti is prone to breakage if dropped from wet fingers into a sink.
When I saw the rhino horn neti and the angle shown for use, I thought that it might be an improvement over the original design. I ordered it from SiCap (Very fast service!) and gave it a try, and I have to say that I do like it. I still need to angle my head more sharply than what is shown in the photo, but not quite as sharply as with a classic neti. And the rhino is made of plastic, which means that I can drop it from now until doomsday and it's not going to shatter.
One warning: You're going to be breathing through your mouth as you do the treatment. Resist any urge to yawn. Trust me on this.

With my dust and cat allergies, I will sneeze dozens of times in a row. Veramyst helps (but is expensive). Nothing helped after sneezing to clear my sinuses. It took a chance glimpse of an Oprah Show to discover Neti-pots. I purchased my first Neti-Pot with packets of saline crystals from Nasaline Salt Packets - Mixing Saline Solution, 50 pkt., (Nasaline) and it was amazing how fast and clean it worked. The sneezing stopped! I am talking about being in my early fifties and dealing with this problem my entire life!
So when the packets ran out, I bought more Nasaline packets and then NeilMed's Sinus Rinse Pre-Mixed Packets, 100-Count Boxes (Pack of 2). Check out SinuAir Powdered Saline Convenient Packets. After some searching (Target does not always have them, nor do other similar stores), I found SinuCleans to have the best deal on packets. You cannot beat this 100-packet deal for the price. Almost all of the saline packet crystals are the same ingredients. DO NOT, as I tried, using plain bottled water without the saline crystals or plain table salt. You will burn the heck out of your sinuses. You have to use the saline crystals. Here is a great deal.

I bought the neti pot for my son and I think that it really helped him a lot and it is relatively easy to use, maybe a bit tricky at first but after a couple of times he got it right. I would recommend this product to anyone who suffers from allergies as it is totally safe to use.Item was as described and we received it in a short period of time.

Neti Pot Salt Jar Review

This is salt, people. You're paying through the nose for SALT!
The package insert with my Ancient Secrets brand neti pot states that "non-iodized table salt is the best source of the salt for mixing the saline solution."
You need 1/4 teaspoon, dissolved in warm water, for each use.
Buy this and you are paying 69 cents an ounce for plain old NaCl.
I bought a 14.5-ounce countainer of high-end gourmet natural table salt -- Cerulean Seas refined sea salt, fine crystals, additive-free and iodine-free -- for $1.59 at Whole Foods Market. It's food grade and pure, and costs less than 11 cents an ounce.
This Himalayan Institute salt says it's "pharmaceutical grade." The Cerulean Seas is "food grade." The quality standards are the same, and if anything, the food grade is purer.
The question is, do you want to pay 69 cents or 11 cents?
Save your money.

Aromatic Salt Ceramic Neti Pot, Green Review

Aromatic Salt Ceramic Neti Pot, Green
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have used several different ceramic and plastic neti pots, but none have been as good as this one. I know, you wonder, what could make a neti pot better? First, the end of the pot that goes into your nasal passages is sculpted in such a way that it fits easier and is more comfortable. Second, you can actually grip the handle and securely hold it without issue. Third, I have accidently hit it on the faucet and the sink, and it didn't break or chip (my previous ceramic pots did not survive this unfortunate action that I seem to unintentionally repeat too often). Fourth, plastic is great for travelling, but frankly doesn't feel as good as a ceramic pot. Fifth, it is a pretty pot which looks attractive sitting on your counter and it looks good with any decor. I am really happy with this pot and I enthusiastically recommended it.

Himalayan Institute Original Neti Pot Review

Himalayan Institute Original Neti Pot
Average Reviews:

The neti pot is one of those things that I always knew I *needed* and would love once I got one and started using it.
But I still dragged my heels about getting one.
When we were out in a store one day, we saw one and my 17 year old son told me to get it. As always, I didn't feel like spending the $20 right then. There always seems to be *other* things I'd rather spend $20 on. And there we were, each ordering a gourmet coffee at $4 each. ::shame::
My son *firmly* said, for the second time, "Mom ~ GET IT!"
So I did.
And still, it just sat there. On the counter. All clean and ready to go, but picking it up and using it was another matter entirely.
And then one day, I just did it. I had been having allergy attacks, from being in the enclosed house with the woodstove burning all of the time. I couldn't believe I was sneezing so much!
So I picked up the pot, prepared the water and the salt, and did it.
It was so funny ~ I came out of the bathroom with my eyes all red and watery, with my throat all itchy feeling, my head all dizzy. My sons were like, "Yeah! That worked REALLY well!"
But once you get over the *trauma* of the first time using it (it's like going underwater and getting water up your nose, but after you do it the first time, you know what to expect...), it's amazing.
I usually do it in the morning now before I do my yoga and I feel great all day. From that *first* day I used it, those allergy symptoms I wrote about were GONE. I still am sneezy once in awhile, but just from normal irritants. I'm going to start doing it once in the morning and once in the evening.
It is amazing to be able to BREATHE and to have CLEAR feeling sinuses!!
If you are even *thinking* of getting this for yourself, just DO it. You won't be sorry. Everyone I know who has one is in love with it. It's easy ~ don't worry about getting all the special *washes* or *salts*. It works with regular salt or sea salt.
You'll be so happy you got it and used it when you're not getting those colds and sinus infections anymore.

I started using the neti pot with a pink himalayan salt that I was unable to find when I purchased this. While this is functional, it took getting used to after switching as it is more coarse, but once I did it was fine. I'll probably switch back to the pink salt when I'm out if I can find it.

I've tried different remedies for the sinus congestion caused by my allergies. I know it might be fun to suffer day-to-day with the jitters, drowsiness, and cotton mouth these inevitably cause (NOT!), but I prefer to use a method of relief that leaves me feeling normal. This sinus cleansing has been a real life-saver! As long as I cleanse once a day with the saline solution, I find the congestion doesn't get any worse and actually improves over time. It's a natural, healthy way to fight allergies that I would recommend to anyone. These saline packets are the reason it is so effective! I'll be using these for the foreseeable future!

Neti Pot Nasal Wash / Sinus Irrigation System by Rhino Horn - Blue Review

Neti Pot Nasal Wash / Sinus Irrigation System by Rhino Horn - Blue
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Though this neti pot came exactly as shown in the pictures at Amazon, you should know 2 things before you put down your money on it: the molded plastic is as cheap and flimsy as you can imagine, with an obnoxious coarse seam running through the entire neti pot. The whole thing is very light, cheap and tacky, like something you'd win as a booby prize at a carnival. Secondly, when I went to use it I actually cut my nose a bit because the manufacturer hadn't even bothered to sand down the sharp edges from the molding process. If the company insists on charging $12+ for this item, why not take the effort and make it with a more substantial amount of plastic and then also sand the edges?
Bottom line, it's a very good design but the company that sells it must be laughing all the way to the bank on this one. Maybe 3 cents worth of plastic.
oh, and they give you a plastic spoon for the salt (gee thanks)

Neti Pot Starter Kit with 1.5 Oz Aromatic Salt Original Neti Pot Salt Review

Neti Pot Starter Kit with 1.5 Oz Aromatic Salt Original Neti Pot Salt
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I like the pot. It's the only ceramic neti pot I've found that holds a full 8 oz. cup. The spout is nice and smooth, unlike some of the plastic ones that have seams. The only improvement I'd suggest would be a measuring line inside it to tell you when you've got a full cup -- or to make it clear instead of ceramic, and put the measuring line on the outside. (I wonder why they don't make clear ones). This pot is a pale green color, which I didn't notice when I ordered it because of my computer monitor's calibration.
I'm not quite so fond of the aromatic salt. I haven't decided if I like the smell or not. It's not floral and it's not exactly medicinal. It sort of reminds me of some scented cleaning solution I bought. It's not unpleasant, and leaves a light, clean scent behind, but it's not a smell I associate with "aromatherapy."
Another problem I had with the salt is that you're supposed to measure it using the cap of the bottle. But if you do that, the grains get stuck in the screw threads of the lid. The mouth of the bottle is too small to fit a measuring spoon through. And if you pour from the bottle, some of the salt grains tend to fly up (from static) and get on the counter, the floor, etc. They weigh less than regular salt and tend to go further once airborne. I solved this problem by pouring the salt into another container and using a measuring spoon.

Initially, I thought this would be easier to use than my Neti Pot and provide more convenience. I figured I would be able to use it in the shower, no bending my neck and so on, as promoted by the inventor. However, after using both, I actually prefer the Neti Pot!
It is way easier to add salt to the Neti pot. On the other hand, it is almost mandatory to purchase the specifically designed packets of salt (an extra expense) that fit narrow opening of the Nasopure bottle. Whereas, Neti pots provide a wide opening to add plain old sea salt, done. I also get a better nostril seal with a Neti Pot, as oppose to the Nasopure. Finally, when rinsing with the Nasopure if one put to much pressure on the valve it will close, and that sucks.

Before buying this neti pot, I had owned a different one for about a year & a half and enjoyed the benefit. When I gave that one to my young son, I purchased this lil' model as a replacement.
Sadly, this unit doesn't work nearly as well for me as my former one. The design is nifty (arched snout for increased water pressure).
But, a critical drawback is the under-sized spout. First time a product I bought ever made my nose seem far too big! More importantly, this has caused me to have to "creatively accessorize" the spout by padding it with foam tape & a rubber band.
Not good, in my opinion.

Neti Pot Sinus Rinse / Nasal Irrigation Travel Kit - 4 ounce bottle - 2 Pack Review

Average Reviews:

I bought this as somewhat of an impulse buy, and chose it over other neti pots because I wanted something that'll fit in a backpack for travelling. It's a good product, but if I had to do it again I'd probably look for a cheap travel-size dishwashing bottle instead. I say this because I was annoyed that there was no mention if the bottle was BPA-free, and the manual actually recommends replacing it after a year of use.
As far as the nasopure solution goes, there's only about a weeks worth of it included. Just buy some sea salt and crush it down so it'll dissolve easily.

Himalayan Institute Neti Pot Ceramic Starter Kit Review

Average Reviews:

The kit is a nice introduction to using a nasal wash system. Detailed instructions are provided. I like this particular pot because the spout/opening is wider than many of the plastic, drug store neti pots I've previously used, so no worries of poking and hurting my nose or water leakage.
My one concern is with the zinc nasal wash. There is some concern that intra-nasal use of zinc can cause anosmia, or the inability to detect smells. That might sound minor, but not being able to smell smoke or determine if your food is stale is no joke. Much of the concern was in regard to Zicam products, which uses zinc gluconate. The neti wash uses zinc acetate. I think it's best to use the wash only when you're experiencing cold symptoms. It would be nice, though, to see the zinc-free wash included in future kits. Overall, I'm pleased with the product.
