Summary: Expensive
Comment: I have not purchased this product. Here's why...
I buy 26-ounce sized non-iodized salt from my local Giant for 0.49 cents. I've been doing this successfully for years to treat my seasonal allergies, and allergic rhinitis.
I mix 1-teaspoon of the non-iodized salt into a quart container of luke-warm water. I then pour 8-ounces through each nostril using my neti pot, alternating between nostrils. This technique works quite well for me.

Summary: Working Pot
Comment: The family has been pleased with using the Neti Pot.
The purchased Mineral Salt to use in the Neti Pot is very soothing especially when you cannot go duck your head in the ocean waters at this time of the year.

Summary: Not Cheap But You Are Worth It
Comment: If you're flushing your nostrils with a neti pot, the water has to be distilled (like bottled drinking water) and the salt has to be kosher, Neti Pot salt or non-iodized salt. Anything else will irritate your nostrils. Carefully mix the solution properly. This Neti Pot salt is perfect and will last quite a while even if you flush several times a day. You don't have to spend a lot of money on kosher salt, but you don't want to make your sinus's worse. Caution with all products.

Summary: High-priced table salt
Comment: This is salt, people. You're paying through the nose for SALT!
The package insert with my Ancient Secrets brand neti pot states that "non-iodized table salt is the best source of the salt for mixing the saline solution."
You need 1/4 teaspoon, dissolved in warm water, for each use.
Buy this and you are paying 69 cents an ounce for plain old NaCl.
I bought a 14.5-ounce countainer of high-end gourmet natural table salt -- Cerulean Seas refined sea salt, fine crystals, additive-free and iodine-free -- for $1.59 at Whole Foods Market. It's food grade and pure, and costs less than 11 cents an ounce.
This Himalayan Institute salt says it's "pharmaceutical grade." The Cerulean Seas is "food grade." The quality standards are the same, and if anything, the food grade is purer.
The question is, do you want to pay 69 cents or 11 cents?
Save your money.

Perfect for use with the nasal wash system, Neti Pot Salt is the highest purity salt commercially available. It is non-iodized and contains no additives or anti-caking agents. Click Here to See How Neti Pot Works with Neti Salts DAILY CLEANSING ROUTINE Use your Neti Pot and related products every day to soothe and cleanse the nasal passages. The saline solution Rinsing the nasal passage with a properly mixed warm saline solution doesn t burn. It is best to use a pure, non-iodized salt, such as Neti Pot Salt or kosher salt. The amount you use depends on how finely the salt is ground. Use a slightly rounded 1/2 teaspoon for coarse varieties, like kosher salt, and a heaping 1/4 teaspoon for finely ground salt, such as Neti Pot Salt. Stir it into 8 ounces of warm water, until the salt is completely dissolved. You can mix the saline solution in your Neti Pot. If your tap water has an unpleasant taste or contains chemicals, consider warming some bottled water. If the water is too cool it may increase congestion. If it is too warm, it will irritate the delicate lining of the nose. Never use hot water. Head position The key to the nasal wash is holding your head in the proper position. Lean over the sink so you are looking directly into the basin, then rotate your head to the side so that one nostril is directly above the other. The forehead should remain level with the chin or slightly higher. (Figure on the left) Gently insert the spout into the upper nostril so that it forms a comfortable seal. Keep your mouth open and raise the handle of the Neti Pot so that the solution enters the upper nostril and drains out through the lower. (Figure on below right) If your head is rotated correctly and tilted at the proper angle, you can breathe comfortably through your mouth while the saline drains through the lower nostril. If the forehead is higher than the chin, the saline will drain into your mouth. When the Neti Pot is empty, rotate the head so you are looking into the sink an
