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!

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!

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.
