Himalayan Institute Ceramic Neti Pot, White/Yellow
I can never breeze out of my nose very well. I thought this would help judging from all the great reviews. After using it several times, it has done absolutely nothing to avoid me. It sounds like it is best used for allergies. So I guess I'll try it again in the spring.
Not that devoted
I absolute to buy a neti pot after sinus issues were starting to keep me up at night, and ultimately decided on this one.
Pros: it is quite pretty, I like the in point of fact that it is ceramic and can be cleaned more easily than plastic, and although it took a while to get the hang of, it has helped with congestion.
Cons: the forth is uncomfortably large. It is too thick to actually fit into my nostril, and the bulky, rounded edge doesn't create a very satisfactory seal. Additionally, the small, squat shape of the pot makes it difficult to fill to the top without slopping water everywhere (outstandingly if you mix the salt in the pot, rather than a separate container), and even more difficult to pour water through the sinuses without accidentally tipping too far and spilling distilled water from the top of the pot. Some days, I feel like more water ends up spilled on my bathroom counter than in my nose.
I will persevere in to use it for now because of the benefit to my sinuses, but I plan on eventually replacing it with a more user-friendly model.
it works
like others say, it feels "funky" the first pass, but you get used to it right away. I use it at least once a week and it really helps.

I first purchased a neti pot from Walgreens. Never did like it so I bought the NeilMed squirt hold and like it better but the Himalayan pot just feels right. It is balanced and easy to use.
I can hint at!
A miracle stratagem!
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 incredible runny nose. Sinus problems are definitely the most annoying symptoms with a cold, for me anyways.
For me, when I get a thoroughly 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 arctic medicine because often-times it doesn't work at all, in the best case my sinuses will clear slightly and I'll have a stomach-turning runny nose. But usually it doesn't work and I'm stuck with that 'medicine-head' feeling the next day. So, meds don't trade. I don't like using sprays because they only work briefly and my mom actually lost her sense of smell by using a nasal distribute, so that scared me away. In the end I just fight a losing battle until I eventually get over the cold.
Recently a horrible cold started going around at my office. I work in a small office of a dozen people so it hit everybody - laboriously. 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 small 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 fad 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 moment 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 unhesitatingly 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, extended-lasting relief and no runny nose? No way! Also, I swear my cold is going away much faster then unremarkable. 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 stony-hearted 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 unmoved 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 m 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 inclination. 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 skim 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 tough to clear the lesser-plugged nostril and the unclear nostril is so clogged that the solution takes another path - 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 licence 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, unbiased 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 miniature 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, rightful 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 strongbox 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 soul I still plan on using this pot at least a few times a week, just to keep things clear. This device may sound eerie (my wife thinks I'm nuts!) but it really does work. Try it!
