Relaxor FS8P Facial Sauna with Inhaler Attachment

Equipped with an inhaler for opening clogged nasal and sinus passages and a mask for opening face, chin, and neck pores, this steamer is both a health and a beauty aid.

Solay Neti Pot

The practice of nasal irrigation, known as Neti, has been used by practitioners of Yoga and Ayurveda in India for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. The nasal passages are lined with a thin layer of mucus and are one of our body’s first lines of defense against disease. Let’s face it, we deal with a lot more pollution than we used to. Nasal rinsing helps keep this layer of mucus moist, clean and healthy. Most sinus problems fall into three categories: acute, chronic and allergenic (which could be both acute and chronic). Acute sinus problems often come about from seasonal allergies, a cold, or the flu, and are seen as a temporary condition. Chronic sinus problems are often long term, quite possibly from allergies, climate changes, or from a completely unknown source. For long periods of time the sinuses seem to be inflamed and filled with mucous. Allergen sinuses are simply that - from allergies which can be a temporary condition if it’s a summer airborne allergy or chronic if it’s an undiagnosed allergy. Headaches and sinus pressure can be associated with all three categories. Whichever category describes you best, you will find sinus relief after using a nasal pot.
