Ponaris Nasal Emolient, 1 oz (Pack of 4) RY@HFS

This has been a life changer for me. This was recommended to me by an ENT after a series of sinus infections left me with an incessant cough. I loved how the drops cleared my congestion and soothed the inside of my nose, but I hated the dribbling oil down my lip, or worse - my throat. My nurse suggested using them at night, so I didn't suffer from the embarrassment of oil sliding out of my nose while I spoke to a human in the day light. So I used it until it was gone and then forgot about it.I've been working in a job that requires me to travel several times a month, for the last couple years. This has been hell for my sinuses. The recycled air of the airplanes, the dry hotel air, and quick climate changes meant that I would frequently get sick, my nose would always be dry and cracked and painful, and I would often suffer from nose bleeds.I had been using AYR nasal gel for a long time - I would place a drop of the gel on a cotton swab and rub it along the inside of my nose. And it soothed my nostrils, especially when they would get so dry they'd crack and bleed. But it only soothed, it didn't heal or prevent. So I was just constantly putting it in my nose. It was impractical and I suspected not helpful, but I couldn't go back to doing nothing and dealing with that pain.Then I remembered Ponaris, but I still dreaded the drip; until I read some reviews of users applying the oil with a q-tip - then everything changed.I dip a q-tip in Ponaris and swab the inside of one nostril and use the other end of the swab on the other nostril. I try to do this day and night, if I'm traveling or in a dry climate. If I feel sick, or especially dry, I apply Ponaris as often as I need it.This has solved a major problem that plagued me - I can breathe better, sleep better, I'm sick less often (if at all), and most importantly - I'm more comfortable. If you've ever suffered from chronic sinusitis, you know that it's no fun when breathing hurts!I wish I had been using this for the last decade. I can't imagine not having it in my daily routine now.

I have developed very annoying post nasal drip. I went to an allergist and after being tested, he determined it wasn't allergy related. He prescribed a couple of nasal sprays to try and also gave me a sample of Ponaris to try. The sprays did nothing for the problem, but the Ponaris has helped. My problem is probably reduced by 75%, so I'll keep using Ponaris.

I have acute sinusitis and suffer from year-round allergies. I get allergy shots, take allergy pills, and supposed to take a steroid nasal spray which I am not a fan of and is why I stopped and started seeking alternatives. Not a fan of Western medicine to begin with an when my allergies get real bad and flare up, the only answer I get is "keep taking your nasal spray." Steroid nasal sprays are horrible and your body can grow dependent on them.The first time I tried Ponaris, I didn't think it would work because I was so congested. Within second one nostril clear up and then the other and I was able to breathe! Then after 5-10 minutes I was congested again and it kept alternating between clear passage ways and semi-blocked...think it was just trying to work its way through. The days that followed was not as the first experience, but I began to notice that I was breathing through my nose more frequently, which rarely happens. This has also prevented/treated my sneezing attacks form happening. Loved it so much, that I bought another bottle and gifted it to a fellow allergy sufferer who is thankful that I did. Would like to see if my doctor could cover the costs of this, but if not I think not suffering every day of your life and being able to breathe through your nose is worth it.

This actually helps in fighting the infection,not like most of conventional nasal drops, which usually do nothing beyond drying the nose a bit.I use it when I get first signs of cold. A combination of natural oils brings fantastic relief without compromising the immune system.The overall aroma is like forest, it must be because of the pine oil. I love it! So fresh!I am happy that I found it, ordered one for my parents as well.The bottle I had lasted for 2 years, now I am getting a new bottle for myself as well.

If it's good enough for astronauts, it's good enough for me!! I have shoved no less than a dozen different products up my nose, desperately seeking relief for my extremely dry and irritated sinuses...some have temporarily soothed them but this is the first thing that has actually healed the problem. How I wish I had found this years ago! The application method is strange, I didn't want to stick the dropper in my nose then back into the bottle, in case of inadvertently transferring any goobers or infections. I use the dropper to apply it to a cotton swab, then insert. I use it at bedtime, you definitely want to lay down right away so it doesn't drip back out your nose. It's very viscous, not at all thick or sticky. At first I used it nightly, but then reduced to just a couple times a week and that's sufficient to maintain. It has a slightly strong scent but not at all a deal breaker. I will never again be without it.

OMG !!!! haven't had a BAD sinus infection in over a year.... the trick is you MUST use it twice a day. I use a cotton swap, dip it in the bottle and put it as far up my nose as I can to get my nose well lubed...that keeps the germs out....I wouldn't live without this.... It came with an nose dropper, but can't stand using it,,,, The cotton swab is easier and works as well....the best thing...NO side effects !!!!!

Yes it smells a little organic, some menthol to it as well.There is a review that talks about it turning dark so they had to throw it away. Should have read the box first. The color change is normal.This is a great product that has improved my life.
