Stainless Steel Neti Pots

According to Ayurveda, a nasal pot helps to promote the removal of excess mucus due to congestion, rid nostrils of pollen and other allergens, cleanse the nasal membranes of dust, smoke, or other airborne contaminants, relieve nasal dryness due to air travel, improve flow of breath before doing relaxation or meditation techniques. Over 40 Million people in the US alone suffer from sinusitis and are growing resistant to antibiotics. Several experience some sort of side effects from these antibiotics. Sinus Irrigation is the best way of treating your sinuses naturally! 

Regarding the Neti pot, I’ve used them all and after speaking to a lot of other users have found out that the favorite by far is made out of stainless steel. It can be cleaned with the greatest ease, can be safely traveled with, will leave no metallic residue in your sinuses, and best of all, it is practically indestructible, given normal bathroom conditions. At worst, poorly welded steel pots might have a little rust at edges, but regular cleaning will prevent this from getting into your body. My own stainless steel pot has no welding, and little gaskets are used at the only point where two metal joints meet. The gaskets will prevent rust from developing, but might someday degrade. I doubt that will happen for many years though, which means this may be the last pot I’ll ever need 

My own experience with it is that it holds a ton of water, is very comfortable to hold and the spout is the first one I've had that actually seals in my nostril. All the other Sinus Irrigators didn't really seal so the water leaked out a bit when I tried to nose rinse. I've dropped this one also in the shower - besides a huge CLANG – nothing has happened to it. It's easy to add salt to as the opening is huge. I can also clean both sinuses easily because it holds so much water. With my ceramic Sinus Irrigator, I usually have to refill it with filtered water, heat up to room temperature, add more salt and neti again which took more time. It is rust resistant and won't oxidize like copper neti pots, and won't break if dropped like ceramic neti pots.   When my ceramic neti pot eventually breaks, I will definitely replace it with the stainless steel. This Neti pot just feels well made.

 

How to use a Sinus Irrigator
To use the Sinus Irrigator , simply prepare the saline solution by adding 8 oz of warm water and a heaping ¼ teaspoon of non-iodized salt to your Sinus Irrigator . Then turn your head to the side, and insert the spout into the upper nostril. Raise the Sinus Irrigator so the saline solution flows into the nose and out of the lower nostril.  

What the Experts are Saying:  

"The Neti Pot™ alone has helped more people than any other modality I use - with consistent use the results can be dramatic."
- Carrie Demers, M.D., Medical Director, Center for Health & Healing, Honesdale, Pennsylvania  

"People with chronic sinus conditions should use a nasal douche daily, as it promotes drainage of the sinuses and speeds healing of inflamed tissues."
