Product Reviews of SinuCleanse Nasal Wash System, Plastic Neti Pot With Salt Packets
Product Review: Exactly as pictured
Summary: 4 Stars
The item arrived just as pictured and contained some salt packets to get you started. The reason for only 4 stars is that the pot itself doesn't have a good marker on it for how much to fill it.Product Review: Exactly what I expected!

Quality of the pot is very good. Easy to use. Clear directions. Helps with drainage. Inside of nose is not as red after using this product for about a week. I've had it for several weeks now and use it once or twice a day.Product Review: Excellent Product!
Summary: 5 Stars
According to Wikipedia: "Nasal irrigation is an ancient Ayurvedic technique known as Jala neti, which literally means nasal cleansing with water in Sanskrit, where the practitioner uses a neti pot to perform the irrigation." So this concept is not some new hype by advertisers.
I bought this system after suffering the flu for a week and then developing a sinus infection. The doc put me on antibiotics and Pseudoephedrine. While these drugs work, they really did nothing to curb my current symptoms of nasal congestion and swollen nasal membranes - the most fatiguing part of suffering a sinus infection. I had already used an OTC nasal spray for 4 days and did not want to continue for fear of rebound congestion. A friend at work mentioned the Neti pot, so I picked one up after work one night. What a relief from the first time I used it! It's not as weird to use as some may say; the feeling is actually warm and soothing, the technique only takes one or two tries to perfect.
The concept is sound: since sinus infections are usually caused by bacteria that get caught up in the slow-moving mucus of the sinuses and begin to multiply. The Neti concept rushes warm saline (alkaline) water through the nasal passages and sinuses, stimulating the mucus that is trapped and stagnating to move out. The salt changes the chemistry of the nasal passages and sinuses, creating an "unhappy" environment for the bacteria. It also helps to gently reduce swelling and promote better air flow.
Many people use the Neti pot year-round and, as an allergy suffering myself, I intend to use it daily even after the sinus infection is gone!
