ANCIENT SECRETS Neti Pot Sinus Rinse + Pre-Measured Cleansing Salt Pack – Dishwasher-Safe Ceramic Model, Patented Ergonomic No-Leak Design, Nasal Cleansing Pot, Nasal Irrigation

I've been using this neti pot for over a year now and have to say that it really works great. My breathing is easier through my nose and my sinuses feel much more clear throughout the day. I don't feel bogged down by my allergies nearly as much. This particular neti pot is well-constructed and easy to use. I've had other neti pots that had odd angles or were made of cheap materials and were uncomfortable to use, but this one is glass and seems to have a great angle to it. Of course, being glass, it's easily broken, so that is one thing to consider. For the new Neti Pot users, a couple of things to take note of: The mixture: Using warm water with a 1/4 teaspoon of non-iodized salt is best. Obviously, cold water does not feel good and using table salt or too little/too much salt creates a horrible sensation. One time, I forgot to add salt and I sneezed all day long and my sinuses were extremely irritated. A grocery store near me sells cheap jars of salt specially for neti pots. I've also seen special oils you can add, but haven't tried them (I've also read about loss of your sense of smell from some oils, so be sure to do your research on them before using!). Actual use: Basically, the neti pot works by gently pouring a stream of water through your sinuses, so you tilt your head and pour through one nostril so the stream comes out the other. The one thing I make sure to do after each use is to blow my nose to get the excess water out and then I have a bottle of rubbing alcohol that I dab a q-tip in and run over the inside of my ear. I've found that the water from the neti pot often gets into my ear and I've even had it cause some irritation over time. Ever since I have been trying to dry the excess water up with the rubbing alcohol, there have been no problems. Of course, not everyone will have this issue. Also, if you are too clogged up, the water from the neti pot isn't going to go anywhere. It'd probably be best to take some medication to try to loosen the clog and then use the neti pot. Overall, the neti pot is a wonderful product for anyone who has trouble with allergies or their sinuses. It's not something you use as a quick fix for colds or sinus issues. Like I said before, it doesn't do anything if you are too clogged. It's great for those with constant allergies and mild congestion though. Used daily over a long period of time, it seems to have really helped me out.

Works great! I bought one for my home and one to keep at my parents home when I travel. My daughter uses the same brand. I’m very pleased with this neti pot.

I was leery of all the hype for the Neti pots but wanted to see if they'd help my recently chronic sinus problems, especially for night sleeping. I'd tried steroid nasal sprays at the encouragement of my doctor but the fact that the spray instructions say "be sure not to get on your septum" as you're spraying it up your nose was enough for me to try the Neti pot. Once that decision was made NO DRUGSTORE IN SEATTLE had one left. So I turned to Amazon and voila, ordered the pot and received it in a couple of days. It's weird to use at first, but after about a week of using it it seems much more normal AND MY SINUS PROBLEMS ARE GREATLY REDUCED. Now I'm on 'maintenance' once every couple of weeks, with almost no problems at night. I also love having something natural and organic that I can use it to clean my nose after being around chemicals like paint or some other really dirty chore. This pot fits very well in my hand and is very easy to use. While I haven't tried other Neti pots, I like its smaller size for storage and its shape makes it very stable in wet hand as you're leaning over the sink. I also like being able to make up the saline mix from non-iodized salt, which makes this very inexpensive for ongoing use. I highly recommend this product.

If you have allergies or want to avoid catching other people's cold or flu, then this neti pot is the best one on the market because of its shape and material its made of. The shape fits perfectly over your nostril so that you can flush your nose and sinuses. It's easy to hand wash after every use. This is the one I think that was demonstrated on Oprah by Dr. Oz. At least it looks just like it. Ever since I started using this neti pot, I have not caught any colds or flu despite being around sickly people. I have given several of these to friends and family and they are now as devoted to the neti pot as I am. Most people give up too easily or don't know how to properly use the neti pot. Check out videos on youtube to see how to use one properly. You need to tilt your head to the side and use warm water with a pinch of salt. Also, when you first start your sinuses may be blocked up. Don't give up. Many times during the year, my sinuses are blocked. I use it every night no matter what. Even though it may not drain on one side, you will find that 10 minutes after using the neti pot, that your sinuses will clear up. Germs generally invade when your nasal passages become dried out. So doing this once a day, helps keep your sinuses moist so they can trap the germs. Lastly, germs actually take hours to penetrate our natural defenses. This is why flushing your sinuses once a day helps keep you healthy all year round.

Good quality ceramic! Pleasant touch to the nose. Does the job! Worth every penny. Highly recommend!

The Ancient Secrets Neti Pot appears to be well made. It's heavier than the plastic neti pot I've used for years, but it's not unwieldy. The handle is easy to grip (altho slippery when wet), & the spout is sized well & easy to get a good seal. Altho it doesn't have a lid (which my plastic neti pot does), it has a wide lip across the top that is perfectly positioned to keep water from pouring out over the top while in use; I had no problems with it leaking. And of course, it's not plastic, which is a plus, altho it would be more fragile to travel with (which I probably won't). The reason I gave it 4 stars vs 5 is that it holds exactly 8 oz, which means it's impossible to mix the saline solution in the neti pot. With my previous one, I could pour the saline packet in, add warm distilled water, screw on the lid, swirl it around, & it was ready to use. You can't do that with this neti pot; you have to heat the water & mix the solution in another clean container (which will then need to be washed), & then pour it into the neti pot (which will also need to be washed). Not a huge deal, but definitely not as convenient. If this neti pot were 25% larger, or had a lid, it would definitely rate 5 stars*.

After first hearing about the practice of Neti Pot, I was slow to jump on the bandwagon. It sounded pretty strange and uncomfortable. However, I have suffered from allergies and congestion for about ten years and I eventually warmed up to giving it a try. I could not be more glad I did. The practice helps me breath better than any decongestant or allergy medicine ever has. And the nice thing is there are no side effects from taking any medicine. It really goes into the depths of your sinuses and opens them up. Usually, using it once every couple days is about right for me. Spring is coming though and that is when my allergies tend to make me very miserable. I'm prepared to use it quite a bit more often through the spring. As far as this particular model, it is well made and I like that I can just throw it in the dishwasher to clean it. It definitely seems a lot better than the plastic ones that are sold in drugstores. For the water, make sure you use distilled water or boil it yourself ahead of time. I personally just boil a pot of tap water and store it in a jug. It lasts several uses before I need to replenish. For the salt, cheap Morton salt seems to work just fine. If you have any type of chronic problem with sinuses, allergy or other, I would definitely give it a try. In fact I'm hoping you will. There is a bit of a learning curve but after about 5 tries or so you should get the hang of using it and it will become very simple.

I like how it works, feels like it moisturizes you sinus. Seems to feel more natural no side affects. More so then others I have used. I recommend it. But may not be for everybody.

It's ceramic, the box is nice and has good information on it. The neti is rather cute, i like the feel and look of it.

Es perfecto 👌🏻

Love this neti pot! Purchased my previous one from a different platform and it lasted for years till i had a few accidental knocks on the sink. Was looking everywhere for this brand as the design, make and volume is just perfect. I use this every day! The design allows for easy handling and the spout is the perfect size for easy flow of water into the nostrils. Highly recommend!

Très joli, fait un cadeau sympa. Apparemment fonctionnel, mais je l'ai offert donc je en peux pas en dire plus.

Warning: Broken on arrival. No returns or refund allowed. Waste of money.
