Product Reviews of Himalayan Institute Ceramic Neti Pot
Product Review: Better than I imagined
Summary: 5 Stars
This product is great for my stuffy sinuses and easier to use than I thought. I have cat allergies and I also have 3 cats, so far I'm still breathing! I read a few articles before purchasing. One recommended that a 16 oz. capacity is more effective, but I found this 8 oz. to be quite sufficienet and the design is a better style to see setting around.Product Review: Ceramic Neti Pot
Summary: 5 Stars
Have used the Neti Pot on a daily basis. I have not had a cold since using it, albeit it is the cold season. It is a soothing experience,
not at all uncomfortable, as I thought it would be.
Product Review: Ceramic NetiPot
Summary: 3 Stars
This product works okay, but it is somewhat fragile and I chipped mine on the faucet during the first week of use. I prefer, instead, to use a stainless steel NetiPot in place of the ceramic style here. Stainless steel is more durable and seems to work better than the ceramic NetiPot with its unique design.Product Review: Cheap, easy and works ...
Summary: 5 Stars
You can pay $100 or so for the electric pumps or just over half that for a Waterpik with a Grossan attachment. But, read the reviews. They have serious quality and support problems and I've tried both and the Neti pot works just fine. It takes a couple of uses to get the hang of it, and you may feel like an idiot the first time bent over the sink learning to suppress the drowning reflex making privacy helpful at first, but I've used it for more than three years and it's as routine as brushing my teeth.
I have serious allergies and severe sleep apnea and am on CPAP so clear sinuses are really important to me. When I started using the Neti pot, I was able to get off of OTC nasal inhalers which have side effects that can be hard to pin down but can cause insomnia and dependency. (I was a thirty year abuser.)
You don't need the special saline packets though they are kind of handy. University of Michigan Med suggests using 1/4 tsp of kosher or pickling salt with an equal amount of baking soda in 8 oz. of warm tap water. I like the water just slightly warmer than body temp. Iodized salt and even some "natural" salts can burn. Some, but not all, sea salts work fine alone. Using a saline solution that is comfortable helps a lot.
Try this before investing in one of the "high-tech" products and see if it doesn't meet your needs just as well. I'll never stop using it.
Product Review: Cool Aladdin's Magic Lamp!
Summary: 5 Stars
Every household SHOULD have this neti pot. It's a bit overpriced but you're happy you're contributing to the Himalayan Institute's compassionate causes in Africa and India.
The brochure says (1) you should use pure salt, (2) you should stir it into 8 oz of warm water, and (3) you may want to do three exercises to expel any water remaining in your nose. Well, (1) I use sea salt bought at Whole Foods; (2) the pot only holds 4 oz and you should use lukewarm water, not warm water; (3) the three exercises are unnecessary.
I can't help but rub it sometimes because it reminds me of Aladdin's Magic Lamp...I may get three wishes...who knows? :D
