Product Reviews of Ancient Secrets Ceramic Nasal Cleansing Pot, 1 Neti Pot
Product Review: A life saver
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this on Oprah, although I had heard about them before, it sounded gross.
But once I saw it, it didn't look that bad. So, my first sinus infection, I ran to the health food store to buy one. I normally drink a vinegar and honey solution (2tbs vinegar, 1 tbs honey) in a glass of water (it works like guaifensin) to thin the mucus and I don't need a neti pot. This time the sinus infection was bad. I blew my nose so much that the outside of my nose was irritated, because my mucus was too thick to come out. The neti pot saved me. I could not believe that it would bring out more green mucus at the end, even though I could not previously blow my nose and get anything else out. And this was the plug that normally stays there and keeps the infection going strong. Once I did this, I could breathe!!!
This is an amazing product! My 11 yr old daughter who constantly complains of a headache, tried it too, and says her headache is gone.
If it doesn't work for you, you are doing something wrong. Keep trying. I think it's more effective if the water is warm enough but not too much so that it is uncomfortable.
Product Review: A little bizzare but strangely recommended

I finished Dr. Oz's book, You Staying Young, and felt that it was very informative and very funny in his irreverent writing style and illustrations. So when he described the Neti Pot, it made sense but seemed inspired by a Dave Letterman guest demonstration in their 5 minutes of embarrassing fame; pouring water in one nostril and having it flush through to the other. My only thought was of getting chlorinated pool water lodged in my sinuses and feeling like my head was at high tide all day. But, wanting to relieve some occasional allergy symptoms and also getting some grist for quirky dinner conversation I sent for this product. Locking the bathroom door securely lest anyone see me tipping a gravy boat into my nose and keeping the cell phone close should dialing 911 become necessary, I lifted the device with apprehension. The angle of attack is crucial or you'll find the draining water running down your face, chin and neck, like drinking a coffee before the dentist's anesthesia wears off. But once the fine adjustments are made the irrigation is both simple and painless. I haven't noticed any therapeutic benefits yet and I still feel foolish doing it even though my beta fish is the only observer. But it does make logical sense since here is where nasty air borne micro-things get intercepted and lodged and warm salted water should both clean and soothe irritation. So I recommend allergy sufferers to give it a try. Just don't forget yourself while passing the gravy boat next Thanksgiving dinner and suffocating on a meat giblet.Product Review: A miracle for me!

I may be one of the few who used this neti pot prior to the Oprah show. I have suffered many years with chronic sinusitis and have used more antibiotics than I care to remember. Once I began using neti cleansing, I was amazed at how it kept me nasal passages clear. At the onset of a previous sinus infection, I was told about neti and used it a few times a day at first and never needed antibiotics to clear it up. I also take this neti pot with me whenever I travel.
For those who have trouble getting the saline through the nasal passages in the morning due to congestion, try taking a hot shower first. This tends to open the passages somewhat and allows the saline to flow freely.
Product Review: A sinus sufferers best friend

I purchased this neti pot mostly because the plastic one I had kept scratching my nose. I was a little hesitant since the shape is different. If anything this works better than the more traditional shaped pots. More of the water/saline comes out of the pot without having to drastically tip the pot, which can be difficult with the other versions. If you've never used a neti pot and suffer from sinus trouble, I highly reccomment this. I use it once or twice a week and feel the improvement for at least a couple of days. As someone with ongoing sinus trouble, it's nice to have an option that isn't OTC decongestants.Product Review: After a long night of forced dry air....

I run to the bathroom to use my Neti pot! I really think this is something everyone should own. I haven't needed my allergy medication since I bought it!
