Our Customers Share Their Neti Pot Success Stories
I
have had some trouble with allergies this year. It got so bad I missed
a couple of days of work from the sinus infection, pain and headache.
My doctor recommended I try the nasal wash procedure. I started using
sea salt until a friend referred me to Into the Scented Garden for
their Aromatic Salt and Neti pot. It is working wonders! My sinus
condition has cleared up with regular use of the nasal wash and
Aromatic Salt. I really like the pleasant smell the oils add to the
salt, as well as how easily it dissolves into the water. It just feels
better to use this salt, versus the sea salt I tried originally.

I
am a Doctor of Oriental Medicine, an Acupuncturist, an Herbologist and
yoga teacher. I have been using a neti pot for cleaning my nasal
passages for years. Then I discovered the Aromatic Salts. They
increased the effectiveness of the sinus cleansing and I now recommend
them to my patients. Due to airborn pollutants and the average diet,
many of my patients have a constant low-grade infection in theirs in
uses, although they are often unaware of this. When regularly treated
with nasal wash and Aromatic Salt, their sinus function returns to
normal, and their body's immune system become stronger.

I
used the neti pot for the first time this morning with amazing
results. Today is the first day in over 3 months where I can actually
breathe through my nose without the use of medication or nasal spray.
I will be sure to recommend this product to all my friends. I had no
idea that such a simple, yet natural remedy could be so beneficial.

My
sister and I both have had serious sinus problems over the years. She
had found the nasal wash procedure helpful, and recommended it to me.
She also found this great Aromatic Salt to use for the process. I fly a
lot, and now take it with me on trips to avoid the sinus headache, sore
throat and other difficulties I used to suffer from, especially when
traveling. I have been using the Aromatic Salt with a Neti pot for one
year now and am very satisfied with the results. I don't leave home
without them!
Michael G, Chicago, IL
I
am a long time user of a neti pot ---- using it twice a day over the
years has saved me countless trips to the sinus doctor. Aromatic Salt
has made my use of the neti pot even more effective and a pleasant
experience as well! No more burning sensation when I don't measure the
salt just right. This salt is gentle and effective at the same time,
thanks to the special kind of flaky salt and the essential oils that
are added. Thank you for a wonderful product!
Cheryl A, San Mateo, CA
I
was told about Into the Scented Garden Aromatic Salt by a friendly Mom
whom I volunteered with at my sons school. My son and I have been doing
the nasal wash for years. His asthma doctor recommended it when he was
younger. Its a must during cold and flu season! The essential oils
used, and the softer, flaky salt, makes the whole experience quite
pleasant!

A Neti Pot Experience
by Leslie Ottavi
I am writing this because I am having an amazing experience with my
neti pot! Let me start with a little bit of history. Over a decade ago,
I was suffering from almost continuous sinus infections that were
seriously impacting my personal and professional life. I went to a
doctor who recommended sinus surgery to correct a partially closed
nasal passage and to remove scar tissue from the sinuses due to the
years of recurring infections. Desperately wanting relief, I had the
surgery performed. I asked about using a nasal wash and it was
recommended that I not do it. I have been practicing yoga for years and
I had continued suffer a bit from allergies, stuffiness and periodic
colds. I did think about trying the neti pot over the years, but the
recommendation from the doctor still caused me some doubt about trying
it. In addition, I didn't know how to use the neti pot.
About
a month ago, a yoga teacher and friend of mine suggested I try a neti
pot. She offered to show me how and recommended I use an Aromatic Salt
from Into the Scented Garden. With the neti pot and Aromatic Salt in
hand, she guided me through my first nasal wash. With just the first
time usage, I felt immediate improvement in my breathing and my ears
began to clear. My ears itched as they continued to drain and clear. I
hadn't been able to hear so well for a decade! The sinus pressure from
my allergies was relieved and my head and mind felt clearer. I was
amazed and very happy.
That
first night I slept much better because I could breath easier. On my
second morning after the nasal cleansing, there was even more
improvement in reduced sinus pressure and clearing in my ears. I felt
so much better. I didn't realize that I was that congested in the first
place, so it is amazing to me the degree of stuffiness we learn to live
with when we have allergies! I even think my eye sight was a bit
clearer. Everything looked much crisper and I was able to see close up
reading material much better.
Not
every day sees such improvements, but overall I continue to improve
from my allergies and my sleep continues to be deeper and sounder. I
have felt myself being irritated by a potential cold, but the improved
sleep along with the nasal wash appears to be keeping those colds at
bay. I will continue to use the Neti pot every day as I monitor the
changes that are occurring with my sinus health.
Everyone
is unique so your experience may be very different than mine. However,
based on my experience, you may find it rewarding to try a neti pot
with the wonderful Aromatic Salt from Into the Scented Garden.
