Product Reviews of Neti Pot Nasal Wash / Sinus Irrigation System by Rhino Horn - Blue
Product Review: So happy
Summary: 5 Stars
The children and I had been using a make-shift pot for a year now. After recent summer colds, I decided it was time to try a real Neti Pot. I love that this pot is plastic. The directions for how to hold your head are very easy to follow.Product Review: What? You're telling me to pour water through my head?
Summary: 5 Stars
Heck, yes, I'm telling you to pour water through your head. To paraphrase Sally Field - it works! It really really works!
I decided to try a neti pot out of sheer desperation when suffering from terrible nasal congestion courtesy of the H1N1 flu. I bought this model because it appeared to be the one pot that would have a good seal on the nostril. (I wasn't too keen on shoving a spout up my nose.) The design is excellent - there is indeed a good seal, and it's very easy to use. The plastic is lightweight, yet seems very sturdy.
This is amazing. You are hardly aware of any sensation of the liquid flowing through your nasal cavity until it starts coming out the other side. (Follow the directions in the box - tilt your head to the side, and be sure to keep your chin tucked in, or the water will go down your throat. You WILL notice that!)
I was able to breathe freely through my nose immediately after using it, and the relief lasted long enough that I could get a good night's sleep.
I just used regular un-iodized salt in the solution. The Rhino Horn comes with a little measuring spoon for the salt. (I understand from other sources that the proper ratio of salt to water is 1/2 tsp. salt to 8 oz. of water.) Rhino says to just measure the salt with their spoon, put the salt inside the pot, and fill the pot with lukewarm water. Pickling salt would probably be good because it is finely powdered, and is very pure.
Previously I thought that neti pots sounded like a silly thing, but I'm a believer now.
Note: I found the most effective way to achieve clear nasal passages, and keep them clear, is to use the neti pot, and follow it up a few minutes later with my prescription anti-inflammatory nasal spray.
Product Review: Works well
Summary: 5 Stars
I used this on a recommendation from a voice instructor to get a neti pot. This is my first nasal wash device/neti pot, and I like it. I've had a history of running noses that required nasal sprays to control. However, since using this, my nose doesn't run nearly as much and my nose feels great.
The system includes the blue rhino horn and a serving spoon for the salt to ensure the perfect ratio of salt to warm water.
Product Review: perfect
Summary: 5 Stars
'started this to relieve sinus problems, but found out it prevents the flu. My wife teaches learning disabled pre-school and would get three or four cases of the flu every year. I would get one or two cases from her. Since doing a nasal flush every other day or so, neither of us has had a bad case of the flu in a few years now; I haven't had any flu.
Anyhow, this rhino horn pot was designed perfectly in that it does not spill all over your face easily like all the other pots I've seen. The tip is at the correct height in relation to the fill hole.
They don't give you a bunch of papered exotic little salt bags; just the pot, a little pamphlet, and a spoon the exact right size. Get your own salt.
Yeah it's a little flimsy, but not to be a distraction. It is not cheap looking, nor expensive looking. What it is is perfectly functional.
Product Review: that's an interesting place for a horn.
Summary: 3 Stars
What can i say: the neti pot is cheap and it doesn't brake when I drop it in the tub.
