I could not see any visable flaws even though the product said there was some defects in the finish.Product Review: Great investment for your health

I love the Neti Pot. My friend Kathy purchased one and raved about how well it worked for her and I have terrible allergy problems so decided it might be beneficial for me as well. I read other reviews and was impressed with the consensus that most felt it was amazing with the first use. I was worried when some mentioned the burning sensation but decided to go for it. I have used it twice a day everyday since it was delivered and it is amazing that something so simple can be so effective. I did purchase the Neti Pot salt which is pharmaceutical grade, very fine, and dissolves immediately and use a little less than is recommended to avoid the burning sensation that sometimes happens when you use too much salt. I still have to use my nasal spray sometimes to open the passages up enough for the solution to run through but find after the nasal rinse my passages are open even more and I don't have the constant post nasal drip. I am also able to use the nssal spray less often. The process is quick and easy. I don't know how I got along without it. I love it and highly recommend it!Product Review: Great netti pot

It fits my nostril really nice and what's really cool is you can put this right in the microwave filled with distilled water. (Unlike the plastic ones which I wouldn't trust in the microwave.)Product Review: Great product! Really helps!
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Product Review: Great product, good service

General Product Review: I used a Neti Pot some years back at my brother's house, it worked great. They are a great idea, allowing a person to directly and safely deal with nasal congestion without popping pills or spraying harsh chemicals up your nose. Simply put: Get one. Don't wait until you need it because shipping will take a couple of days and you'll need it faster than that. You know you'll have sinus congestion sometime in the future, so go ahead and order one now.
Specific Product Review: After using my brother's ceramic Neti Pot, I wanted a ceramic one, too -- but all I could find at Walmart or CVS or Walgreens was cheap plastic junk -- and they weren't cheap, $15 or so! They were kind enough to include three cents worth of salt as though that's supposed to make the kit more valuable. I looked online to find a ceramic one, and selected the Ancient Secrets. It is excellent, meets every expectation, but the other ceramic models may be just as nice for all I know. I really didn't care for the little flowery pattern on one of them, but that's personal preference.
Supplier Review: Price was great, got the product in just a couple of days. The Neti Pot was ***NOT*** packaged well, it was basically just bouncing around loose inside a box. It was a miracle it hadn't broken -- but it hadn't, so I really have nothing to complain about.
