People ask me why use a nasal cleansing pot all the time. The answer is simple. It’s easy and it works! The nose is like a furnace filter. If you have ever changed out a furnace filter you know how much gunk is in the air that your nose has to deal with. Global warming has increased the amount of pollen in the air. Modern-day life has increased particulate matter, pollution and dust. The nose is burdened with all this “stuff”. Modern dietary choices also increase the amount of mucous that collects in the nasal cavities. All of these things just overwhelm the nose.
The solution to this of course is the Ancient Secrets Nasal Cleansing Pot. This simple device has been designed from the ground up to provide a simple, easy and inexpensive tool for cleansing the nose and helping to moisturize dry nasal passages. This keeps your nostrils functioning at peak performance levels in today’s tough environment.
So breathe deeply and smell the roses! For more information check out our website

it is not just outdoors that your nasal passages get bombarded with foreign objects that can irritate and clog up your breathing apparatus. Indoors too, we are told, our noses are bombarded with dust mites, dander and mold spores, in addition to dust and particulate matter. The nose needs a good rinse on a regular basis to operate at peak efficiency, and the Ancient Secrets Nasal Cleansing Pot has been designed to do just that.

today Dr Mehmet Oz, in his final show on the Oprah Winfrey show after 5 years, is going to be once again talking about the benefit of using a neti pot for nasal cleansing. Dr. Oz, popularly known as “America’s Doctor” has been a vocal proponent of the use of neti pots over the last few years. It is his focus on this ancient world wide practice that has brought the neti pot out of obscurity and made it a popular mainstream phenomena.

Ancient Secrets Nasal Cleansing Pot has achieved the unique distinction of becoming the #1 selling neti pot in the natural products industry based on its superior advanced design features which include:
CERAMIC MODEL: ergonomic easy-grip form allows you to hold it easily in a balanced and absolutely controlled manner, so that you can avoid excess spillage or leakage or dripping, while having a convenient hand hold, regardless of the size of your hand.
The spout is tapered to provide an excellent seal to the nostril to make the process less messy.
We have a “half cover” over the top of the pot to prevent spillage during the tipping up of the pot, while allowing sufficient room in the back half of the top to permit complete cleaning.
We use heavy duty ceramic so that the product is dishwasher and microwave safe. This is important so that you can hygienically wash the pot from time to time as required with the hot water cleaning cycle of your dishwasher.
Our pots are made “lead free” with a food-grade glaze by a registered FDA-approved manufacturer of ceramic tableware. We have every production run tested at an independent laboratory to ensure the absence of heavy metals of any sort.
PLASTIC TRAVEL MODEL: We use a high density plastic that is used for medical devices and food containers and does not contain any bph or heavy metals. While most plastic pot suppliers have their product manufactured in China, we have chosen to manufacture these in the USA to ensure the quality control of the materials and production process available to us here in the USA. We were concerned about the issues raised with plastics coming from China and decided it was worth the extra investment to have them made here and not face potential contamination issues that have arisen with plastic products out of china in the past.
The plastic model is also dishwasher and microwave safe so that it can be hygienically cleaned, an essential feature for a neti pot. We decided to use a top grade of plastic that could withstand hygienic cleansing rather than go with other less suitable options such as the “bio-plastic PLA” the raw material of which comes from corn (including G.M.O. corn) but which cannot be hygienically cleaned in a dishwasher, thus making it really unsuitable for long-term use as a nasal cleansing device. We are also very seriously concerned about the use of genetically modified corn as it simply puts profits into the GMO industry and encourages further planting of GMO, which we believe is extremely dangerous to the food supplies of the planet. While there may or may not be places where GMO cannot be avoided, certainly the discretionary use of it in making a product was one area we decided could be avoided.
And it is of course fully recyclable if at any time it needs to be disposed of, but because of the high quality and strength of this product, it is suitable for travel, or for use with children or anyone who might have an issue handling ceramic due to potential breakage issues as it is unbreakable under normal use circumstances.
People tend to keep their neti pot for many years of regular use, so we have taken the steps to ensure that both our Ceramic and Plastic Travel Models will stand up for long-term, hygienic use.

Pregnancy involves a special responsibility as the expectant mother has to nourish the child in her womb, knowing that everything she ingests has an impact on the baby being formed. This involves not only diet, but also any kind of pharmaceutical drugs. Many expectant mothers worry about how to address various conditions without impacting the fetus negatively, and we find many who have to choose between suffering from congestion due to the formation of excess mucus, or taking an OTC remedy. No matter how benign the drug is, it still gets to the fetus through the umbilical cord. Thus, one of the issues involved is whether there are ways to restrict the use of the pharmaceutical drugs to those instances where it is really absolutely necessary to treat a disease condition, rather than simply being used as a convenience for things, such as some excess mucus buildup, that could be dealt with in alternative ways.
A nasal cleansing pot can be of tremendous assistance by mechanically removing, through the simple action of a saline solution in warm water flowing through the nostrils, excess mucus buildup, thereby helping the mom-to-be maintain a clear breathing passage without necessarily having to resort to measures that could impact the baby. Whether that mucus arises from the diet, from environmental irritants and particulates such as dust or pollen in the air, or some other mechanism, the act of nasal cleansing with a neti pot can flush much of this excess mucus out and tone and moisturize the nasal passages.
We frequently see, therefore, the use of a nasal cleansing pot recommended for pregnant women during the course of pregnancy and later, during the period of breastfeeding, so as to minimize the ingestion of pharmaceuticals that find their way into the infant’s system through connection to the mother.

The most frequently asked questions are about the salt or saline solution to be used in the neti pot. We have covered this question before, but let’s try it one more time!
The reason one needs a saline solution is to make the warm (not hot, not cold) water acceptable to the nasal passages without stinging. Plain water will sting! You should therefore use a suitable saline solution.
It is EASY to do. You basically start with 1/4 teaspoon of non-iodized salt and mix it into the warm water in your neti pot. That’s it. If you notice any stinging, generally the question is too LITTLE salt, so try adding a little bit more. Many people mistakenly believe it is the salt that stings, but that is simply not the fact, and it is usually the lack of salt that will cause any reaction at all.
Let’s talk about the salt you should use. We recommend using non-iodized salt. You can get non-iodized table salt at most grocery stores and it should be very inexpensive. We do not recommend using iodized salt because you simply don’t want to add more iodine to your body than you are already getting. Some people recommend sea salt, but we have some concerns about the complex makeup of sea salt of multiple different salts, and point out this has not been investigated, so we avoid it.
You can also use salt that is labeled as neti pot or nasal cleansing salt. This is generally USP grade pure non-iodized salt. USP grade simply means that it has been cleaned and purified to a level beyond what is normally found in table salt, as it is suitable for use in the medical industry if necessary. While it is not necessary to go to this extreme, in our opinion, many people feel more comfortable having the right salt available in a special jar or even in a pre-measured packet.
Some companies mix sodium bicarbonate into the salt to make a “mix” but we do not recommend this, on the basis, once again, that this has not been investigated. Plain non-iodized salt has a history going back thousands of years for use in neti pots, so this is really the simplest and least expensive way to do it.

After using your neti pot, be sure to rinse it out well inside and out with warm water and let the water flow through the pot into the sink. This type of simple daily rinsing will be sufficient most of the time. However, if you are dealing with an acute situation with lots of mucus, it is best to hygienically cleanse the neti pot with hot water and dishwashing soap, and this is best accomplished in the dishwasher.
It is also a good habit to put the neti pot into the dishwasher on some kind of regular basis, such as once a week, for general hygiene.
Be sure the neti pot you buy is dishwasher safe so that it can withstand the heat and spray generated by the dishwasher! The Ancient Secrets Nasal Cleansing Pot has been made from sturdy ceramic so that it is dishwasher safe, of course. Some other models are much thinner ceramic and have a higher breakage rate, so be careful about putting them into the dishwasher. If you own one of those other brands you will have to clean it carefully by hand. The Ancient Secrets Plastic Travel Model uses a high grade plastic found in food containers and medical devices that is dishwasher safe as well.
Another hygiene tip is probably just common sense, but we do not recommend people sharing neti pots. It is best to treat it, as you would a toothbrush or other personal hygiene tool, and make sure everyone has their own neti pot.

have you tried a nasal cleansing pot to help remove the pollen from your nasal passages, along with excess mucus and dust? People all over the country are noticing the extremely intense pollen release going on this spring and it is making the news. Some consider it one of the worst pollen seasons in memory. this pollen gets into the nasal passages and irritates them, triggering the mucous membranes to release mucus, and for most people this results in excess mucus buildup.
A nasal cleansing pot, also known as a neti pot, can help reduce this reaction by flushing pollen out of the nasal passages and taking the excess mucus along with it. This simple cleansing technique is low cost, easy to do, convenient and extremely beneficial.
Climate scientists point out that as the planet warms, this causes overall an increase in plant growth and pollen release, so they tell us to be prepared for even worse to come in the future!

People in all walks of life are discovering the blessings of nasal cleansing using a nasal cleansing (neti) pot. This is particularly true for those who work outdoors and have to confront the assaults of dust, dry air and pollen at various times of the year. Road construction crews, roofers, building trades, landscapers, forest rangers, national guard members, farmers are just a few of the occupations that benefit from regular nasal cleansing to provide relief from the pressures of the environment on their breathing capacity. Of course, nasal cleansing is not only for those who are hard at work. It is also becoming a favorite of those who are simply out for some leisure time in nature, hiking, camping, rock climbing, or just taking a stroll through the park.
