While I very much like the concept of lightweight and eco-friendly material, the pot is also made in China. I have a hard time recommending any product made in China, but that is my choice. Others may choose differently than I. Thanks again! Travis, I just wanted to add I have changed my mind on giving out the Himalayan Institute’s eco-friendly bio-plastic neti pot.

You know, I glimpsed one of these just yesterday, and felt how lightweight it was and saw "non-breakable" on the package, assumed it was cheap old plastic, and in my hurry scurried away. How wrong was I? This is a fantastic option... and if mine breaks again or I buy some as gifts, Himalayan Institute brand will be the only option I consider! Love this! Thanks! This is fantastic!

You popped up in my google alerts, and I thought you would like to know there is an eco friendly alternative to the plastic neti pot: http://www.himalayaninstitute.org/store/product/1cd56fba-b599-442c-a6db-e2259152402f.aspx Further, our salt jar is made from the same stuff, plant sugars, as the eco pot. We are also a great organization if you care to research further. Good luck, Travis Hello Ashley Sue,

Very nice blog! You popped up in my google alerts, and I thought you would like to know there is an eco friendly alternative to the plastic neti pot:

Further, our salt jar is made from the same stuff, plant sugars, as the eco pot. We are also a great organization if you care to research further.

Good luck,

Apple too! I almost bought it today ~ never had it either. I've only had four flavors, soon five. Pear sounds like it would have been great! I must try birch. Sounds too crazy not to try... and I'll get Marc a blueberry. He might really dig that. Ah! Apple too! I almost bought it today ~ never had it either. I’ve only had four flavors, soon five.

I like apple better, though. I'm still bummed that they discontinued pear. Bragg's Liquid Aminos looks interesting! I haven’t tried birch IZZE yet, but peach is pretty good.

I guess simply put, I try not to use too much. By trying to avoid it, I might possibly keep it at a healthy level. Which, of the aforementioned list, that one is the only one I'm not vigilant about. I love myself some Smart Balance. But I try to use sea salt instead of table salt when I *do* salt <a href="http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/sea-salt/AN01142" rel="nofollow">(sea salt steers me away from additives)</a>, and I just love <a href="http://www.bragg.com/" rel="nofollow">Bragg's Liquid Aminos</a> to use instead of salt or soy sauce. Yum! Hey, thanks for the benzene-resulting combo! I didn't know about that. Anything, however, that is a reason to drink Izze's is something I will toast! :D Have you tried the birch Izze? Or peach? I am really curious about both! That’s a great q, Lenore. I guess simply put, I try not to use too much. By trying to avoid it, I might possibly keep it at a healthy level.

I know it's best not to get too much of it, but unless you cook everything yourself, that's a really hard one to avoid all together. Even if you do, homemade rolls or rice without salt would be pretty dreadful. I avoid the combination of citric acid and sodium benzoate, since they supposedly turn into benzene when heated. Sounds like a good excuse to drink IZZE to me! Can you elaborate on avoiding salt?
