Ancient Secrets® Nasal Cleansing Pot by Lotus Brands, Inc.
Allergies, sinus congestion, dust, pollution, all of these affect the nasal passages and make it difficult to breathe. We have seen an extraordinary rise in such problems with the increase in dust and pollution caused by our industrial society, including particulate matter caused by diesel exhaust and other pollution sources. Dry air also has its effects on the health of the nasal passages.
An ancient nasal cleansing technique, from the healing science of Ayurveda from India, which is over 5000 years old, has been adopted by a large number of doctors and individuals in the West as a solution to chronic and temporary nasal canal problems. The practice of neti, or nasal cleansing, is performed using a ceramic pot and a saline solution. Performed regularly, it can help clear mucous from the nasal canal, restore moisture to dried out tissues, tone nasal tissues and help the nasal passages remain clear and healthy. Just about anybody with a nose can benefit from knowing about this practice. Modern day life with its pollution, dust and inhaled chemical load is particularly stressful to the nasal passages. People with a history of chronic allergies or sinusitis are well-suited for this non-drug, natural approach to free breathing.
All you need of some water, fine salt and a good neti pot. While many companies offer nasal cleansing pots, the only one that I use and recommend, because it's the best, is the Ancient Secrets® Nasal Cleansing Pot by Lotus Brands, Inc. Their pot is crafted from sturdy, lead-free ceramic (not plastic) and coated with food-grade sealant glaze; it's a heavy-duty construction that's dishwasher safe. It makes nasal irrigation easy and enjoyable.
