Customer Reviews of Ancient Secrets Ceramic Nasal Cleansing Pot, 1 Neti Pot
Customer Review: Great product, good service
Summary: 5 Stars
General Product Review: I used a Neti Pot some years back at my brother's house, it worked great. They are a great idea, allowing a person to directly and safely deal with nasal congestion without popping pills or spraying harsh chemicals up your nose. Simply put: Get one. Don't wait until you need it because shipping will take a couple of days and you'll need it faster than that. You know you'll have sinus congestion sometime in the future, so go ahead and order one now.
Specific Product Review: After using my brother's ceramic Neti Pot, I wanted a ceramic one, too -- but all I could find at Walmart or CVS or Walgreens was cheap plastic junk -- and they weren't cheap, $15 or so! They were kind enough to include three cents worth of salt as though that's supposed to make the kit more valuable. I looked online to find a ceramic one, and selected the Ancient Secrets. It is excellent, meets every expectation, but the other ceramic models may be just as nice for all I know. I really didn't care for the little flowery pattern on one of them, but that's personal preference.
Supplier Review: Price was great, got the product in just a couple of days. The Neti Pot was ***NOT*** packaged well, it was basically just bouncing around loose inside a box. It was a miracle it hadn't broken -- but it hadn't, so I really have nothing to complain about.
Customer Review: Now, I'm a beliver
Summary: 5 Stars
OK, so I'm skeptical about some of this holistic healing stuff. Sorry, but I just don't believe that wearing bay leaves under my armpit will get rid of my bunions. But, I also don't want to take antibotics to get rid of the same chronic sinus infections over and over. So I read up on this novelty and decided to try it.
It works, it works, it works. There, I've said it. I can't impress on you how much better your sinus's will feel after a bout with this system. Not hard to master the technique - the first time or two will seem odd, but after that you figure how to hold you head so the angle is just right. Then it's just a warm, comfortable sensation in your nose. Quite pleasant, actually. As far as results, most of the villians in your nose are microscopic or at least, tiny; so, most times you won't see a science project in the sink after a treatment. But rest assured that it washes the pollen and other irritants out with the water drainage, then they won't cause you any problems later. I haven't used it while having a cold or an active sinus infection yet, but I anticipate it will help and soothe that problem.
Just try it. It really is beneficial because it works. I use sea salt, works fine, but I'm going to try the voodoo salt concoctions that these guys sell to see if it's any better.
Customer Review: A great product that's simple and inexpensive to use
Summary: 5 Stars
I was leery of all the hype for the Neti pots but wanted to see if they'd help my recently chronic sinus problems, especially for night sleeping. I'd tried steroid nasal sprays at the encouragement of my doctor but the fact that the spray instructions say "be sure not to get on your septum" as you're spraying it up your nose was enough for me to try the Neti pot. Once that decision was made NO DRUGSTORE IN SEATTLE had one left. So I turned to Amazon and voila, ordered the pot and received it in a couple of days. It's weird to use at first, but after about a week of using it it seems much more normal AND MY SINUS PROBLEMS ARE GREATLY REDUCED. Now I'm on 'maintenance' once every couple of weeks, with almost no problems at night. I also love having something natural and organic that I can use it to clean my nose after being around chemicals like paint or some other really dirty chore. This pot fits very well in my hand and is very easy to use. While I haven't tried other Neti pots, I like its smaller size for storage and its shape makes it very stable in wet hand as you're leaning over the sink. I also like being able to make up the saline mix from non-iodized salt, which makes this very inexpensive for ongoing use. I highly recommend this product.Customer Review: In one nostril, out the other! RAD, MAN!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Not only do I appreciate the fact that this gets all the stuff out of my nose and relieves congestion, I LOVE the fact that water goes in one nostril and out the other. This is very helpful because when I'm both bored and have a stuffy nose, I use this to a) get rid of the gunk and b) to entertain myself by poring water through one notril and seeing it come out the other.
Another cool thing to do is buy one of those powered neti syringes, where you push the lever and water squirts right up your nose. CAUTION: those who don't like to have water blasted, literally, BLASTED up their nose should not buy that version. If you don't like to have water in your nose, don't even think about buying a neti pot. It'll be a waste of your time. However, if you do buy one, make sure to have fun seeing water go in one nostril, and out the other!
PS: It's also fun to not just neti with water, but other things. My favorite alternatives to water are:
-whipped cream
-chocolate syrup
-milk, and best of all...
-chili con queso!*
*it will make your nose fell kinda spicy. not recommended for children over 45.
Thank you for reading my review and helpful tips. Have a nice day.
Customer Review: Sinus relief
Summary: 5 Stars
I've not gotten into using the neti pot on a daily basis, but have found it useful to clean out the gunk on those days that I feel clogged. The saline creates a slight tingling sensation that I find refreshing and seems to last throughout the day. This design is comfortable and easy to use, though I haven't used any others to say how it fares in comparison.
It does take some trial and error to get the correct positioning and if the water temp or amount of salt is off, there is that burning sensation but it is not so bad. As another reviewer mentioned it is very helpful to warm up the pot first by filling and rinsing with hot water. And I'd skip the special salt packets and just get some kosher salt from the grocery store. I picked up a container for a buck that says it has 525 1/4 tsp servings, so even with daily use that would last almost a year and a half. I'd also recommend only using when you are going to be upright for at least an hour (not right before bed) to give any water which might remain a chance to drain rather than collecting in nasal passages/eustachian tubes.
Even non-drowsy formula sinus/allergy meds seem to affect me, so I'm very grateful to have discovered this natural (and CHEAP) form of relief!
