Nasal Cleansing and Sinus Flushing.
The RhinoHorn plastic neti pot nose bidet's are available in the United States.
Allergy and Sinus problems:
When I had my nasal surgery in Fort Worth, TX back in 1999, my nose and allergy specialist had me to start using a solution of "canning salt" (because it is pure) and baking soda mixed in warm water. I was instructed to get a baby nasal syringe to squirt the saline mixture in each nostril to keep drainage from hardening or clogging the nasal cavity.
At the time, I wished that I had something that would fit snugly against my nostril and had more volume than the baby nasal syringe. I tried the ceramic neti pots, but it did not fit my Texas size nose. In time the ceramic netipot was broken accidentally.
Solution
I then found the Rhino Horn plastic Neti-pot. I stuck with my doctors instructions on how to mix "canning salt" and baking soda and started using the non-glass Rhino Horn Neti-pot.
The Rhino Horn plastic netipot is so easy to use that I use it daily and sometimes morning and night. Once I found the "canning salt", baking soda, and warm water mixture for my comfort level, I cannot stand a day without using the plastic neti pot. This has become as important to me as brushing my teeth and tongue everyday.
This takes some experimenting to find the mixture and temperature to assure a pleasant nasal cleansing, but since I found my level, I cannot imagine ever stopping this daily cleansing.
The Rhino Horn is plastic and light weight; therefore, I can carry it with me on trips and never have to worry about having broken glass in my bags or in the restroom.
The instructions below from Norway do not mention "canning salt" and "baking soda"; however, I found that following my Texas doctor's advice, life is much better. - G.M., Fort Worth, Texas

It has proved to be highly effective in the prevention and treatment of sinusitis and is also a useful component in the treatment of chronic sinusitis.
