My wife wanted to investigate the Neti Pot phenomenon after seeing it on an episode of Oprah featuring Dr. Oz. Apparently the combination of Oz and O was enough to convince her that Neti was the way to survive the winter and dry house here in the northeast.

After much research she decided to order the Complete Neti Pot set from Himalayn Institute. The kit comes with a ceramic pot, noniodized salt and zinc suspension. After overcoming the initial strangeness of having water pour from your nostrils, we have both come to feel the benefits of this system, and now we Neti daily.

I wish that it came with a greater supply of the zinc suspension and/or salt.

I purchased this product thru Amazon Prime and received it next day. I was 5 days into a cold and had heard about using the Neti pot to help the healing process. After it arrived, I used the Neti Pot in the morning and evening and I experienced relief in my nasal passages. This kit comes with the salts and a special tincture, that has zinc and some other healing herbs in it. I did experience immediate relief as well as a shorten duration of my cold. There is a small learning curve the first time using, but after that I used it with ease. (It comes with directions). It is like getting water up your nose when swimming in the ocean, a little uncomfortable, but that goes away quickly and then it feels good.

I'm buying this to replace its exact likeness after breaking it during a move. It's ceramic, so there are no sharp edges to scratch my nostils, like some of the plastic and metal neti pots do. BUT, it's ceramic, so it takes a lot of TLC. Also, the salt mix is perfect and the ceramic pot holds the heat of just plain tap water when I use it. I use one full pot of water for each nostril when I'm ill, but use half a pot per nostril daily when I'm not ill. It also removes sawdust, sand and dirt after I've been working in the garage or outdoors.

This thing actually works to open up your sinus cavities. I would recommend to anyone who has allergies or just wants to breath clearer. I let everyone in my family try it and they want one for themselves now. You have to try it to believe it works. Just make sure you read the instructions carefully and do not rush it.

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.

I was very pleased with this kit. The salt was good quality and the the neti wash plus was very gentle and didn't irritate my nose at all. The pot is very nice but my one complaint is, prior to use, I inspected the pot carefully and notices a small foreign piece of ceramic that was slightly glazed down on the inside of the pot. I gentle pulled it off and my fear is that if I hadn't it would have eventually dislodge on it's own due to the use of warm water (it was not on very tightly) and travel through the spot and into the nasal cavity (Not a good idea!) Stuff like this happens all the time and I just want to make other customers to be aware to inspect there pots carefully before use!

This product is truly amazing. It helps clear out accumulated mucus and opens up the nasal passages. I can now breathe easily through both nostrils. I've been able to give up the steady diet of Excedrin because of constant headaches; I've also give up Mucinex. You can really feel clean and refreshed after using this. I use twice daily, sometimes a third treatment if there is more accumulated mucus to flush out of my system. It only takes a few uses to get the hang of it. Read the directions because it's important that the water be warm, not hot and not cold. Extreme water temperatures can make your sinus problems worse. I strongly recommend this product. Thanks to Oprah and Oz for bringing it to my attention.

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!!!!

I have a sinus problem and want to avoid surgery. This product has been cleaning my sinuses. I can breathe better and it removes all the things that don't belong in your sinus.

I have had imflamed sinuses for over 30 years. I have been treated for allergies with antibiotics, but with no success; unless you consider yeast overgrowth a success! I have been using the neti pot for about two months now. I know this condition will not clear over night, but I definately know it is steadily improving. I only use the salt with my water, and have had a small healing crisis. I was in bed and could not stop coughing, I got up and blew my nose. The kleenex was bloody, but I felt calm and comfortable, and slept perfectly the rest of the night. I only wish I had heard of this device 30 years ago. If you have sinus problems you cannot get rid of, stay away form the drugs, they only suppress the symptoms, and you will only get worse over time. This device finally is offering me hope of a cure.
