Product Reviews of Ancient Secrets Ceramic Nasal Cleansing Pot, 1 Neti Pot
Product Review: All I can say is WOW!
Summary: 5 Stars
Contrary to my friends and family, I bought one of these suckers used and saved a ton of cash! After cleaning the previous owner's residue off the tip I heated up some water and put on some mood music. This is the one purchase I can absolutely say is a dual use technology. You can use it to clean our your sinuses or even your nether regions. What a great purchase....
Oh yeah you could also save some $$ and just stick your nose up in the shower and get the same results but hey where's the fun in that?
Product Review: Best Neti Pot on the market
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Product Review: Works like a charm!!!

I was a little worried at first because I didn't know what to look for in a neti pot. When I found this one it looked good but I wasn't sure. Here's the deal though it's ceramic and dishwasher safe. The spout has good pressure. It has a lip on it so that the water stays inside the pot. It fits easily into the hand. And the opening is a good size. I've got a pretty average sized nose. If you have a tiny tiny nose you may want to research for a neti pot with a smaller opening.
All in all this is a great neti pot! I absolutely love it. I would recommend this to any of my friends.
Product Review: Great! Design makes itharder to spill when mixing
Summary: 5 Stars
WHY I USE IT: I discovered the benefits of using a neti pot several years ago. First, the director of a play I was in recommended it for me, but I thought it sounded weird! A couple years later, I had a friend that used hers once per day and, after years of suffering with "allergies," sinus infections, and "colds," I was desperate to try something other than medicine, which never worked and made me feel icky. I tried it and have been cured ever since. Every once in awhile I stop using it because I get lazy and cocky (I should use it AT LEAST once every two weeks, preferably once per week) and then I get a sinus infection again, reminding me how awful it is! It feel great to use it, like a fresh feeling, but sometimes I forget, especially before I go to sleep.
WHY I LIKE THIS ONE: I have used this and the Himalayan one and have known friends with multiple designs of neti pots. I don't spill any water out of the top with this one. Also, the handle is comfortable to handle when I use, clean, and store it. The ceramic material is durable. This design is easily approachable for the new user.
HOW TO USE IT (you should really follow the instructions provided with the neti pot): To use a neti pot, you need to fill it with water and salt. The amount of salt will differ with neti pots, but is usually around 1/4 tsp. of non-iodized granulated salt (I never measure anymore). Lean over a sink and tilt your head to one side (not like you are looking down, but as though you are stretching your neck on one side) and insert the spout into the nostril closest to the ceiling (if you tilt your left side to your left shoulder, hold the pot in your right hand and insert into right nostril). Wait until all of the water empties from the other nostril, gently blow your nose, and repeat on other side.
MY METHOD (this was passed on to me from a friend and I was slow to catch on, but now this is the way I mix it): I use an electric kettle to heat purified water. I clean the neti pot very well both before and after use with hot water (if you use a dishwasher, I would rinse it off first anyway because I don't believe the harsh, chlorinated soap is good for you). I add the salt to the pot and pour about 1 inch of HOT water into the pot, stirring with a very small utensil (like a measuring spoon). This melts the salt really well! Then, I fill it with cool water to bring it to room temperature. If the water is too cold or too hot, it will feel uncomfortable; I first test it with my finger, then if it seems okay I will pour a little onto the tip of my nose. If it feels right there, it is.
If I am in a hurry, I will use half the pot for each side; if not, I use the whole pot for one side, blow, then refill in the same manner. NOTE: I have found that the water goes through MUCH better if I always start with a particular side, then do the other (it won't go through if I start with the other first!). If one side is stuck, give it a try anyway, and then you can blow your nose gently. Then see if it will go through the other side, then later redo the first side.
Product Review: Nasal Cleansing Pot, aka Neti Pot, works great
Summary: 5 Stars
I was never a believer in this, but my sinuses were so painful I decided to try it. It obviously doesn't work right away, but after a couple of nights of use and a couple of day time uses, my nose felt much much better. I don't use it everyday as I think it's overkill and you need the mucous in your nose to prevent bacteria from going in, but when my sinuses act up, this is the first things I use. Definitely recommended!
