Product Reviews of Himalayan Institute Original Neti Pot Complete Sinus Cleansing System Starter Kit
Product Review: Great Starter Kit.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great starter kit.
First, a quick analytical review:
Pharmaceutical grade salt includes a tiny spoon for measurement. Using the pot twice daily, two rinses each nostril for about a month has depleted a bit over half of the salt in my container. The herbal tincture is an added bonus.
The pot itself is a tad awkward in that when full the shallow, wide design can lead to dumping water out the top rather than the spout. The solution is to wait for the sinus chamber to fill with water and start draining before tilting your head and the pot further. I mix a solution of lukewarm water in a separate graduated container and transfer it to the neti pot. Though I worried I would break the ceramic pot almost immediately, I don't like the idea of putting warm, plasticy water up my nose, so I went with ceramic and I still haven't managed even to chip it.
Now, the part that really matters:
This thing works. I suffer from what my doctor describes as "chronic sinusitis with acute allergic rhinitis". She's prescribed Astelin, Flonase, Clarinex, etc. None of these were effective and some of them led to nosebleeds, extreme sore spots and a virtual rainbow of ineffable nasal jetsam. These medications contain some pretty powerful drugs that I'd rather not be shooting into deep cavities in my head which, I assume, are pretty darn close to where I keep my brain. How about... lukewarm salt water? Nice.
When I've just used my neti pot I'm amazed at how clear my sinuses are and how acute my sense of smell can be. I breathe deeper and feel better. The cleaning process is not attractive but it is terribly effective. If you suffer from sinus headaches, uncontrollable sneezing fits, suffer from congestion, sinusitis, rhinitis etc., you owe it to yourself to try this product or one like it.

Product Review: Great Value and Improved Health
Summary: 4 Stars
My wife wanted to investigate the Neti Pot phenomenon after seeing it on an episode of Oprah featuring Dr. Oz. Apparently the combination of Oz and O was enough to convince her that Neti was the way to survive the winter and dry house here in the northeast.
After much research she decided to order the Complete Neti Pot set from Himalayn Institute. The kit comes with a ceramic pot, noniodized salt and zinc suspension. After overcoming the initial strangeness of having water pour from your nostrils, we have both come to feel the benefits of this system, and now we Neti daily.
I wish that it came with a greater supply of the zinc suspension and/or salt.
Product Review: Great for Clearing Nasal Passages
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the Neti Pot after reading about it in a Yoga instructional Book. I have only been using this for a couple of weeks but it has started to help. I have chronic nasal/sinus issues and the neti pot has helped to clear up dryness and sinus issues.
Product Review: Great for a chronic sinus sufferer
Summary: 5 Stars
The product is fantastic. As someone who suffer(s)(ed) from chronic sinus pain and pressure it helps tremendously.
I know it seems strange, and don't be alarmed if it takes you a couple of tries to know how to use it right and get used to using it. But once you do, it is definately worth it!
Product Review: Great intro kit
Summary: 5 Stars
Before getting this kit, I tried cleaning my sinuses with plain old table salt and an oversized eyedropper sort of thing I had around. And it was torture. This kit provides all the right tools to perform this practice as safely and comfortably as possible. There's also a very clear, helpful guide that talks about everything from how much salt to mix with the water to tips for breathing while pouring water up your nose.
Yes, it feels a little like you're drowning at first. But it gets easier over time, and this kit really helps.
If I had one tiny complaint, it would be that I think they suggest just mixing it up right in the pot. When I do that, I often have trouble making sure all the salt dissolves fully. It only takes one round of undissolved salt in your nose (Think ocean water up your nose!) to help you remember to really dissolve the salt every time. So I have gone back to mixing it in a clear glass container, then pouring it in.
