Summary: 5 Stars
A miracle device!
I must admit, I ended up using the Neti Pot out of sheer desperation - not out of recommendation. It seems that when I get a cold I always have the worst sinus problems, total blockage and a terribly runny nose. Sinus problems are definitely the most annoying symptoms with a cold, for me anyways.
For me, when I get a cold usually it goes like this -
First I'll try steam, vapor-rub, and pretty much every non-medicine based approach. I don't like using cold medicine because often-times it doesn't work at all, in the best case my sinuses will clear slightly and I'll have a terrible runny nose. But usually it doesn't work and I'm stuck with that 'medicine-head' feeling the next day. So, meds don't work. I don't like using sprays because they only work briefly and my mom actually lost her sense of smell by using a nasal spray, so that scared me away. In the end I just fight a losing battle until I eventually get over the cold.
Recently a terrible cold started going around at my office. I work in a small office of a dozen people so it hit everybody - hard. I started going through the same rituals of steam, vapors, etc (they do seem to work slightly, though it's often short-lived). After doing a little research I ran across this device. The whole thing sounded odd, but it did make sense so out of desperation I decided to give it a try. Let me say, I'm never going back to my old rituals! This thing really is magic.
I can't believe how well the neti pot works! It's so simple, so basic, but it works so well! When I flush my sinuses with the neti pot I get instant relief and long lasting relief at that! Before I would beg for just 5 minutes of relief and now I can go at least a couple hours (and that's when my cold is at its worst). Unlike medicine my nose dries up enough to where it doesn't run at all! (But not too dry) It's almost too good to be true, instant, long-lasting relief and no runny nose? No way! Also, I swear my cold is going away much faster then usual. I'm writing this on my break and as I write this review I'm hearing people sniffle and talk funny and they've had this cold for a couple weeks now. I just got this cold a few days ago and I'm feeling much better all-around. I'm not sure if this is helping me get over the cold faster then usual, but it sure seems that way.
I do have a few tips for you though if you decide to go this route -
First, if your nose is 100% blocked (or a nostril is) then the neti pot might not work so well - you should have at least a little bit of air-movement through your nostrils. If you're totally blocked then try to clear your nose temporarily, even slightly, so you can use this device. Try taking a hot shower, using a vapor-rub, or even try doing as many push-ups as you can (this really does work).
Try clearing out the most blocked nostril first. I have read reviews where people experience ear pain when using a neti pot. I think what happens is that people have a really plugged nostril and they start by trying to clear the lesser-plugged nostril and the unclear nostril is so clogged that the solution takes another route - to the ear, which causes ear pain. If you start with the most plugged nostril then if the solution doesn't clear it, at least the solution is blocked right away and not taking another route in your head!
Don't tilt your head too much. Once you have the solution flowing through your sinuses and the neti pot starts to empty a bit, just tilt the neti pot more, not your head. When I used this for the first time I tilted my head too far and I could feel the solution go deep in my ears and it caused a little bit of ear pain. I immediately stopped so the pain wasn't too bad, but you can avoid it by not tilting too much. This all may sound complicated but it's not, just watch a couple YouTube videos and you'll see how to do it correctly.
The neti pot isn't just great for colds and allergies - it's safe to use every day! Go ahead and use it so your sinuses are always nice and clean.
In the end I can't recommend this enough. It's the only thing that works well for me when I have a cold. When I'm over this cold completely I still plan on using this pot at least a few times a week, just to keep things clear. This device may sound weird (my wife thinks I'm nuts!) but it really does work. Try it!
