I have never used a neti pot so I'm looking at this. Do you I need to buy saline solution packets or can I make it at home?

The kit comes with them. However, I have always jumped on amazon for refills. I would not try to make them at home.

If you mean by you can make it at home that you have already sea salt like Himalayan salt, so yes you can use that but if you mean that you can use tradition salt "cooking salt" so no you can't use that because it will burn ur sinus, also consider this comes with salt packets so you can use it when it finish you can buy the Himalayan salt bag will last for long time with you,.... hope my answer is helpful for you

You can buy "saline solution packets" or make it at home (like I do). I use a half a teaspoon of baking soda & a half a teaspoon of sea salt. Less less expensive that way. I do buy the packets when I'm traveling. Hope this helps. A neti pot has been a panacea for me, but I know now that it's not right for everyone.

You can make your own saline solution, there's lots of articles on the internet on how to do it.

The course ground salt I use in recipes like stews. Anywhere I need a large quantity of salt. I also use it when making saline solution for use in my neti pot (to clear the sinuses). Basically, any time the salt can dissolve in a large amount of liquid (soups, bone broth). The salt does dry out over time. If needed you could spread some out on a piece of parchment paper or a plate and let it dry.

A neti pot is awkward to use and does not supply a constant pulsating pressure like the sinupulse. This pulsating pressure is what dislodges mucus out of the sinuses. My ENT gave me a recipe of 1tsp of non iodized salt, 1/8 tsp of baking soda and mix in 32 oz water --- leaves sinuses clean and refreshed. Follow cleaning/disinfecting weekly as stated by Sinupulse.

The salt which is for consumption is of a higher quality. Yep, higher quality. That being said, if you use Himalayan salt which is small - it likely won't only fall through the small air inlet holes on the bottom, but would likely absorb the humidity in the air and clump up clogging up the holes. Which would result in making it useless. Folks have had great benefits from the coarsely ground salt. So that's what I would stick with.

As jgr says make sure u follow the directions. The package comes with everything. u will only need a container to mix the two solutions together.

Saline is much better. I bought the salt and made my own saline. Works really well.

The Neti Pot relies on gravity to move the water; the SinuPluse has a pump. You don't have to contort your head to get the saline into the nasal cavity. The pump force is controllable so you can spray slow or fast depending on personal preference. It is important, no matter which one you use, that the unit is kept clean and you don't use untreated water. Infection can occur with either unit if one isn't careful!

Appears to be a mistake in the advertisement. Some Neti Pots allow for you to subscribe to the "salts" or solution if you don't want to make your own from distilled water and non-iodized salt.

The neti pot is basically an archaic/ outdated method used to clean out the sinuses. Even the bulb is pale in comparison to Sinupulse. The pulsating action of the Sinupulse is very similar to that of a WaterPik for your teeth. Neti pots rinse out the sinuses, Sinupulse FLUSHES out the sinuses. I Have used Sinupulse for over a year now and the results have been phenomenal. I would not recommend anything else.

Yes, you can fill it with warm, cold or hot water. But the saline packets are added to that water. Is the bottle full of germs? No. It is sterile when received. It can easily be washed and sanitized. I suppose if you suck in nasal 'fluid' (snot) instead of douching your nasal cavity, it could get 'germy'. But I haven't had a single issue with contaminated salt water in the bottle.

You can do a bunch of the experiments with what is available in the kit. There are some experiments that might need things you generally find at home. There are indeed a few that I believe need some additional things.

Assume you have a standard neti pot that is shaped like an small elongated teapot. I have a plastic one I bought on Amazon after I broke 2 ceramic ones. I use the tiny scoop that came inside the jar. Use 1 level scoopful

Netty pots are serious business. You want nothing in a netty pot that isn't guaranteed sterile and distilled. What's more, essential oils are concentrated and many have the ability to cause serious burns, especially to mucous membrane. I'd steer clear of concocting your own without guidance from a reputable, highly experienced professional lest you cause yourself a dangerous infection.

Just look on internet for recipe for SALINE solution. My doc had me make my own years ago. I wouldnt make a large quantity though cuz you want it fresh. I believe I stored in fridge. Just micro till comfortable temp before use.

This comes with the bottle and saline packets. You put distilled water and the saline packet in the bottle

Yes you can, however I haven't made any yet. You might want to buy the "Good Health Clay Pot" cook book, Hedi Levine. It has all the recipes you need and the temperatures you should be using for this pot (it differs from regular pots). Hope this helped.

plain old table salt works fine. 1-2 teaspoons is sufficient in a small footbath. More makes the machine beep a warning that the AMPs are too high. Salt mixes nicely with warm water.
