Has anyone used a Neti Pot?

Has anyone used the new electronic neti pot by Navage?

  • Answer:

    Yes! I've been using the Navage system for almost 2 months now. I'm a lifetime environmental allergy sufferer, as well as had horrible sinus infections. I've tried allergy shots, over the counter and prescription allergy medicines, prescription nose sprays, and even saline nose spray...you know, the works. Ever since starting the to use the Navage, my need for these medicines has almost completely gone away. I can't say enough great things about this product! In January, just a couple of weeks after starting to use my Navage (1 time per day) I started getting my normal sinus infection symptoms because the weather kept changing. I could just feel my sinuses starting to fill up when I woke up in the morning. I promptly started to use the system 2 times per day, once in the morning and once at night. Within 2-3 days my congestion was gone, and it never turned into a sinus infection. More recently, my husband was sick with a sinus infection, bronchitis and the flu--including a fever of over 103 for about 4 days--(and sadly all of those at once!). During this time I made sure to diligently use my Navage 2 times per day. I never caught any of it! I had 1 or 2 days of feeling not 100% but it never progressed further. I never caught his flu, which I find amazing this flu season! On top of the benefits of preventing these recent rounds of illness; I have been able to stop taking one of my prescription allergy medicines. I use my Navage daily, and on really bad days (which are few and far between now) I might use a nose spray just to help make sure my sinuses stay open and draining. But even when it comes to the nose spray usage, I no longer have to use the maximum dose, and I don't have to use it every day anymore either. I can breathe easily through my nose again! And I no longer wake up coughing, or with plugged sinuses because things aren't draining. Now, as to the experience of using the Navage.... At first, I admit, I thought it would feel weird. But I followed the directions that came with the system and after the second or third try I really had it down. It is actually rather soothing, especially if you heat the saline solution just for a couple of seconds in the microwave (again follow the directions that come with the unit). I joined the Club Navage, so I get my saline automatically sent to me once per month. I did the math one day, and I'm still saving money over what I would previously spend per month on cans of compressed saline spray (that is when the store even had it in stock). Its clean and easy! My father-in-law actually uses a neti pot, and flat out asked to watch me use my Navage to see how it worked, he was floored and couldn't get over how easy it was. I also am pleased with the saline solution itself. I can be confident that it is the proper solution so as not to dry out or irritate my nose. I currently use both the original sea salt and the eucalyptus solutions. I can't wait to try the new "scents" they have of saline coming out in the future. Add to all of that the top notch service I've received from the folks at Navage / Rhinosystems, and I'm one happy customer!!!! I would highly recommend that if you're looking for a way to soothe your allergies or sinuses that you truly consider trying this product. It is a quick easy way to improve your overall health!
