Title: It can get addictive...
Review: After reading a number of reviews around the web about the benefits of using a neti pot, I started shopping around my city. I mostly found plastic neti pots, which were flimsy and cheap-looking. I quickly realized that ceramic was the only way to go (wouldn't leak weird synthetic materials into the water, quicker drying, etc). The only ceramic neti pot around was at my local natural goods store, and it was sixty (!) dollars. So I turned my attention to Amazon. This neti pot was everything I wanted: ceramic, simple design, and priced very reasonably. It arrived at my house about 4 days after I ordered it, and I can say that I couldn't be happier with the results. It holds one cup of water - after adding 1/4 tsp of non-iodized salt, it is ready to go. It only took a moment for me to get over the strange feeling of your sinus cavity being filled with water (think dunking your head underwater and water goes up your nose). The results are amazing - after the first use, I could feel my sinuses clear and felt less resistance inhaling through my nose. I used it again last night before bed and even now, in the next afternoon, I can still feel the difference. I think this will soon become a part of my normal hygenic routine.NOTE: I did some reading and learned that you should only use either distilled water or water that has boiled for 5-7 minutes (and then cooled, obviously). Some users reported terrible infections using ordinary tap water, and having bacteria introduced into their sinuses... that said, if you're thinking about a neti pot, this is a great product.

Title: I had absolutely no idea...
Review: ... how much I needed this years ago. I had put off doing this for a long time because the idea of putting salt water up your nose is completely off-putting. To most of us on this side of the world, this is considered gross, probably unsanitary, and stupid.Well, we're all wrong. It isn't gross (to me), it is NOT unsanitary - it's what it's preventing, and it's one of the most brilliant ideas in health care. And to think that it originated thousands of years ago by people we tend to see as evolutionarily inferior!I gave in and bought this, finally, because I'm sick and my nose was so stuffed with snot that I had to breathe through my mouth all the time. I was snotty, sneezing, and generally feeling crappy. I desperately needed something to help and medicines really weren't doing anything, as usual.I bought this Neti Pot and the little salt jar (I couldn't be bothered to go to the store to find non-iodized salt just then. Too bloody cold!). I would definitely recommend both of these items if it is your very first time using a neti pot just because it's easier and let's you get used to how to do it. You can go find your non-iodized salt later when you're sure you want to keep doing this.First, just because I'm sick, I blew my nose as forcefully as I could so that the water would have a way to go through. ThenI put one little scoop of salt (the little jar of salt by this same company has a little scoop included) in the jar, put in warm water, stirred for a few seconds, and then put it up to my nose. At first it seemed like there was going to be an issue because water wasn't flowing out of my other nostril. I kept experimenting with angles of the pot and my head and pretty soon it was going through. It wasn't uncomfortable and it didn't burn, but it was just... weird. The first time it did go into my mouth but I didn't really care because I just wanted the mucous out of my head. Afterward I leaned forward and blew my nose forcefully, again, to eject any excess water/mucous. I repeated with the other nostril and managed to get the angles right and it didn't go into my throat. Again, blew my nose.I repeated the process again in each nostril and by the end of it I could, in fact, breathe through my nose! I had spit out some green gunk and most had followed out of the other nostril so I washed out the sink, rinsed the neti pot, and gently dried it.I imagine that I'll continue to use this twice in the evenings and twice after waking up for a few days until I am well, again. Then perhaps once a day - we'll see. Definitely a great buy and I wish that I had been using this when I was little!

Title: Only Time Will Tell
Review: I had heard about the benefits of nasal washing for years, but the idea of running water through my nose was not very appealing. I have a lot of allergies and suffer frequent sinusitis. After the last infection, I decided to order this neti pot. Frankly, I was a little nervous about using it the first time, but I screened the video a couple of times; read the directions over a few times; and, I finally did it.First I warmed eight ounces of distilled water. Then, I added a packet of the Arm & Hammer brand saline/baking soda mix. I stirred it well to make sure it was completely dissolved. Then, I used it. I believe I used it correctly. The thing that puzzles me is that nothing other than the water flowed out. I expected to see either some mucous or something else flow out. Not sure what to make of this. I plan to continue to use it daily to see if there is an improvement in my sinus health, but to be honest, I do not expect much of an improvement. I have a deviated septum to the left, so my sinus infections always begin on the left, and the neti pot cannot wash that far up in my sinuses, which is where the first signs of pain and excess mucous arise followed by an infection.I will update this review in a few days or a few weeks as I have more experience and am able to tell if nasal washing really helps someone like myself who has A LOT of allergies. I have had allergy testing done twice. The first time I used sublingual drops. I saw no improvement whatsoever in my sinus problems. A few years later I was retested. This time I took the weekly shots with a needle. Once again, I saw no improvement whatsoever. I have taken just about every anti-histamine on the market, including the nasal sprays. Only one ever worked to any degree, but if I took it (Rondec), I knew I had to be at home because it would knock me out. It is not even made in that old formulation any longer, and the new formulation does not work for me. The only thing that works for me once the sinusitis starts is prednisone. I sincerely hope this neti pot will help me so that I do not have any more sinusitis and have to take prednisone.Will update as I know more. For now, I am neutral.13 December 14: Went to the park this afternoon. It was pretty windy. After I returned home, I began sneezing, so I know I came into contact with some tree pollens to which I am allergic. Third day I have used the Neti Pot, so I cannot say I see any difference so far. Will keep trying, but I have to say, if this thing could stop allergic reactions, then the big pharmaceutical companies could stop making anti-histamines altogether. I am really skeptical that this pot will make any difference to my sinus health.24 December 14: I have been using this with warm, distilled water and the Arm & Hammer saline/baking soda packets once a day. In the mornings, I have not been as stuffed up as I usually used to be, but I cannot say if it due to the neti pot or if allergens are on the low side right now. Will continue to use and report back. Perhaps the biggest test will be next spring and autumn. A friend gave me a bottle of Alkalol to use with the neti pot. I have not tried it yet, but it has gotten some excellent reviews on Amazon. If I decide to try it, I will report my results.03 January 15: I have been using this neti pot for a few weeks now, and although I did not see any improvement in my sinuses initially, I can now see a remarkable difference. I am not doing anything else differently, so I must attribute the improvement to nasal washing. I have been washing once per day at the end of the day, and in the mornings I no longer awaken with congestion, and I no longer awaken during the night from difficulty in breathing. I find I am blowing my nose a lot less during the day, too. I presume the nasal washing must be removing allergens that I inhale each day. I am very pleased. I wish I had started using a neti pot DECADES ago instead of all of the many anti-histamines, antibiotics, and decongestants. I could have saved myself a lot of suffering and money, and I wonder how my long term use of antihistamines and antibiotics have caused damage to my immune system and my body.If you suffer from allergies and sinusitis, I highly recommend you try nasal washing. It may help you, too. If you consider how much you spend on doctor visits, antihistamines, antibiotics, decongestants, and all the rest, the purchase of a neti pot is a nominal investment in your health and well being as well as a big savings to your wallet. Even if it does not work for you, the pot can be sterilised and re-sold to someone else who wants to try it. You really have very little to lose and everything to gain by trying daily nasal washing. Just remember to use distilled water ONLY and to add a pinch of non-iodised salt and a pinch of baking soda to 8 ounces of water heated in the microwave for thirty seconds first. I use the prepackaged Arm & Hammer Salt/Baking soda packets and have been very satisfied with them. This does NOT burn, and once you get used to it, which only takes a few days, you will not feel uncomfortable. The whole process from start to finish only takes about three minutes. So try it and good luck!! : )20 January 15: I think a lot of tree pollens and other allergens are becoming air borne with the changing of the season. The last two days I spent a small amount of time out of doors and ended up sneezing quite a bit afterward, and the last two mornings I awoke with a stuffy nose. So, the neti pot definitely does not stop allergic reactions, but it has helped keep my sinuses a bit clearer. I still recommend using it. Just do not expect that it will stop allergens from effecting you. If you are allergic to anything, you will remain allergic to it.

Review: Lo compré porque la que tenía, con la cual ya llevaba muchos años, me la rompieron.Esta es un poco más grande pero el tamaño de la salida que va hacia la nariz es perfecto. No se sale el agua. Es de buen material y funciona perfectamente.

Review: Omg I love this! I’ve had it for 4 years now and I could not live without it. Whenever I get a cold I do 15m of steam breathing with lavender essential oil and then do the Neti pot. It works immediately and I can finally breathe. After 3 days of those 2 steps... I’m always cured. Even my boyfriend asks for the Neti pot when he gets sick. It’s miraculous. It works so well that I only need to use it once a year.

Review: La elegí porque no quería una de plástico y pienso que las de cobre se oxidan. Es cómoda y fácil de usar. tamaño adecuado para el orificio de la nariz, diseño agradable y bonito. Es la primera vez que uso una lotta y no he tenido ningún problema. Me gusta.
