Customer Reviews of Himalayan Institute Original Neti Pot Complete Sinus Cleansing System Starter Kit
Customer 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.

Summary: 5 Stars
My MD prescribed $200 worth of antibiotics and decongestants when I got bronchitis and a sinus infection last winter. I couldn't bring myself to spend the money so I did some reading on WebMD, which advocates nasal irrigation and decided to try it. I kicked both and now use the neti pot whenever I get that not-so-fresh feeling in my sinuses. I haven't been able to find neti wash locally but more salt is easy to come by.
My advice, which wasn't really well articulated in the pamphlet, is to heed the measurements (too much salt will burn, too little salt and your sinuses will close all up) and persist. I'm not sure how to talk about snot without being gross, but if you're finding that you can't get a flow going, pause, give a couple of good hard toots through both nostrils and then resume. Keep doing that until you can get it flowing. If you stop when you're stopped up you'll just have sinus discomfort all day.
Customer Review: I was sceptical, but I can't live w/o it now.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have issues breathing clearly and went to an ENT to find that I have severe nasal allergies as well as sinus cavity problems and sinus polyps. The only solution for this is removal/surgery. I'm terrified of the idea of surgery, so I figured that I would give this a try.
This product has a learning curve. After a week of use, I finally got the hang on it and could use it to my satisfaction. I prefer warmer water and more salt than they recommend. If I didn't know better, I would say that using more salt makes the polyps shrink and disappear. At least, that is how it feels.
Even when I wasn't using the product completely "correctly", I had immediate relief and found that I could breath very well. One other thing that it has prevented is my usual sinus infection after visiting my parents and we've been back from their place for almost a week. I'm usually sick by now.
Customer Review: Finally allergy relief!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been suffering with Allergic Rhinitis for 14 years. While flying in the Air Force I was required to medicate with nasal steroids to manage my allergies and reduce possibilities of ear block and rupture on decent. I'm now retired and studying medicine and know too much to willfully inhale or ingest most synthetic based meds if there's a plausible alternative. The trade off is that without the steroids I suffer debilitating attacks, sometimes weekly, all year long. This all stopped when I accepted the word of colleague and tried a Neti Pot. I believe that most saline solutions would help, but personally support the immune enhancing zinc compound included with the kit. It may take a few tries before you master the technique but once you do you'll be surprised by how quickly you complete the task. Try this product and enhance your health and quality of life with out risk of side affects.Customer Review: Finally, some relief!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had problems with my sinus's for as long as I can remember. My doctor has tried drug after drug to give me some relief, all of which would work for a few weeks at best, then my body would adapt to them and they would stop working. I have been using my new neti pot for just a few days, and it actually killed a sinus headache! I'm so excited about this product, I'm buying one for my sister now, who has worse sinus problems than me. My only complaint about the neti pot is the fact that there is a learning curve to using it, at first, if you do it wrong, it is like getting pool water up your nose while swimming, but within a few days, I'm using it like a pro. I am going to be telling my doctor all about it on my next visit, so maybe he can spread the word to other people like me. If you have sinus problems that ruin your day, please try this item, you will be happy that you did!!!!
