PONARIS NASAL EMOLLIENT Size: 30 ML

I have to agree with all the other posters that this is an excellent product. I bought it for myself when I had a cold along with a dry, scratchy throat. I particularly liked the throat soothing properties. You put a drop or two in your nose with your head tilted back and allow it to run to the back of your throat. At first, the strong pine scent was surprising and the feeling of cool oil running from the back of my nose to my throat was a little off-putting, but the instant relief I felt was worth the oozing, slightly gross quality of the oil. I'd compare it to the new nasal spray FluMist--kinda gross, but necessary. Actually FluMist irritated my throat a bit, if I recall--this does not, the oil is very soothing, even if the scent is a little strong. If you are prone to a gagging reflex, the sensation of the oil dripping down might bother you.

Bottle Label Says: For relief of nasal congestion due to colds, nasal irritations, Atrophic Rhinitis (dry, inflamed nasal passages), nasal mucosal encrustations and allergy manifestations (Rose and Hay Fever).

ACTIVE INGREDIENTS: Oils of Pine, Eucalyptus, Peppermind, Cajeput, and Cottonseed as specially prepared iodized organic oils. Total Iodine 0.5%-0.7%. Assimilable hence non-lipoid potential. Exclusive J-R Iodization process since 1931. One fluid ounce.

DIRECTIONS: Half dropperful each nostril (fill to the line on dropper) as needed or as directed by a physician.

SCENT: it does have a rather strong, earthy pine scent to it which can be soothing to some. As I take another sniff to write this review, my impression is that it smells like a cross between pine and Pledge. It has a certain spicyness to the scent that I'm not wild about, but the scent definitely has the mark of pine and hints of lemon (not that they actually use lemon). Again, all this to say that the scent does not outweigh the soothing properties, in my mind so (I take off no *'s for this). My feeling is that when you're suffering from dryness or you're sick, you take much more yucky tasty medicine (Hello... Pepto? NyQuil?) and if it does the job, your $10 isn't wasted.

My husband is prone to dry sinuses in the wintertime which plague him. This winter so far, he has used it to "heal" his nasal passages and it has worked well. Although nothing can replace a good humidifier (whole house being ideal) this product can do wonders for those that suffer from winter nasal dryness and irritation. My husband said he used it 3X/day for a week and he went from dry and inflamed to moist and comfortable (his words). So... there you go! Two reviews for the price of one...! ;)

If comparing to this other Ponaris on Amazon, seen here: Ponaris Nasal Emollient - 1 oz Bottle with Dropper, be aware that 30 Ml = 1.0147 Oz. So, at $10.99 for 30 Ml, this product is the better bargain.

Finally! The Answer To A Dry Nose! - LJ on Nov 13, 2010 I Like

I live in Colorado and have had such a dry nose since moving here. I tried vaseline, which left me feeling stuffy. I tried saline sprays, but I just hate spraying anything in my nose - it makes my nose just feel runny. I researched and read tons of reviews and this product seemed to fit the bill. I like that it's all natural ingredients - oils of pine, eucalyptus, peppermint, cajeput and cottonseed. The scent is not as strong as you would think and it soothes the minute you put it in. It comes with a dropper, but I just use a Q-tip to apply. The first night I used it I was sold! My nose stayed clear all night, making breathing easier, and immediately the painful dryness was soothed. I just ordered another bottle to carry with me - the other stays on my night stand. If you live in a dry climate or suffer from sinus/cold problems, give this product a try. You won't be disappointed!

Good For Extremely Dry Sinus - Tien Chen "bookwarm" on Oct 3, 2008 I Like

If your sinus is extremely dry due to infection or surgery, this is the one for your choice. I feel instantly relieved after use of this product. Besides its smell is not irritating for a sensitive customer.

An Astoundingly Effective Product - Brian C. Hice on Jan 15, 2009 I Like

I have suffered from extremely painful headaches 24 hours a day, 7 days a week 365 days a year for 13 years. I've seen all kinds of doctors and alternative medicine folks with no relief. All areas of my head that came into contact with the my painful sinuses were also effected, eyes, ears, even teeth. My head always felt as if I'd been beaten badly in a fight. Everything hurt all the time. It even hurt to touch my head.

I recently saw a specialist at the university hospital who said my sinuses where chronically dry. She says this is rare but she sees a handfull of people every year who have this. This condition doesn't even have a name according to her. She recommended Ponaris.

My pain was so acute I've been unable to work for 9 years. After taking the Ponaris for one week (!) I'm getting my life back. The headaches are dramatically improved, my sinuses are no longer screaming in pain and I have less congestion (it's winter as I write this) than I ever have had.

I've spent thousands of dollars on doctors and prescriptions and have lost thousands of dollars because I couldn't work due to daily debilitating headaches but I'm brushing up my resume now because of the tremendous healing I'm receiving from this product. Everytime I use this product my sinuses go "Ahhhhh, thank you."

I didn't know how dry my sinuses were, (no doctor raised any alarms) nor did I know that dry condition could possibly cause my previous level of pain. I was using a humidifier but for some reason that brought no benefit. For some of us, our painful sinuses just don't work right and need help to become normal again. In my case they needed lubrication, I could not produce. And for me this miracle oil is a tremendous blessing. The dry, constant, spirit- crushing ache is gone.

This is not the easiest product to find but get it and try it. Don't waste the money and time I've spent before trying this little miracle on a bottle. It it has given me a normal life again.

If it does half the benefit for you as it did for me you will be delighted and thankful.

I hope this blessing comes to you.

Ponaris Works! - dnalink on Feb 25, 2009 I Like

I have tried so many products out there for my sinus headaches and this is the only one that can clear my sinuses and give me relief after I've tried multiple pain killers. I highly recommend it!

Ponaris Is Amazing: - V. James on Aug 26, 2008 I Like

I have had nasal problems my entire 60 years of life and Ponaris has helped me a great deal. I keep two in the house at all times and I use it several times a day. I have finally found the relief that I have been looking for many years

An instant relief in a bottle. This $10.99 is the best deal.

I'm A Respiratory Therapist... - TBlack "Monster Movi on Feb 28, 2010 I Like

I can't give the credit to my ENT for this product, I found it myself at my local pharmacy!! He wanted to go straight to sinus (near my eyes and brain) surgery before he even seen my CT scan! I've only used it for a few days so far, but it seems like a great product to sooth your sinuses and nasal cavities. To use; you tilt your head back and admin a half dropper full (to the line) in each nostril. You can feel this emollient rolling down the back of your throat and also feel the vapors in your ear canals, it helps me sleep better as I take it QD (once a day) HS (at bedtime). Hope this helps.
After using this product for over half a year; I wanted to add to my initial review. I looked up all the oils (contained in this product)individually on various websites. Each oil sustains (or has known to display)either one or all the following properties: Antiseptic, anti-fungal, anti-viral, analgesic, and anti-cancer.

Love This Product!!! - Canyon Wren on Apr 25, 2011 I Like

Just finished my first bottle (ordered in November) and am ordering more. For the past 15+ years, I have been on antibiotics at least three times during the winter/spring months with sinus infections. Tried saline nasal flush before, but it messed up my ear (constant ringing) and saline flush results were so-so. This winter, with Ponaris, I did not have one infection. YAH!!! As soon as I would get a hint of sinus distress, I would use a 1/2 dropper of the Ponaris. Fixed me up right away. I can not say enough positive things about this product. Very highly recommended!!!!

Ponaris - K. Gehle on Jul 3, 2007 I Like

I discovered I had dust and mold allergies just this last year after years of a stopped up nose (mostly during the nighttime). This product has eucalyptus and breathing through your nose feels really good after using the emollient--you can usually feel it all the way to your ear canals. Kinda funny, really, but keeps things gently moist.

Super Product! - Theodore B. Yasi "Te on Apr 1, 2007 I Like

We have tried several OTC products for problems associated with nasel dryness during the winter months or when the air is very dry.
This product hands down is the best- it is made with natural ingredients and it really works!

Ponaris- Great For My Nose Bleeds - A. Mann on Jan 27, 2011 I Like

I had to go to the local emergency room 3 times in 2009 and early 2010 for nose bleeds that just couldn't be stopped at home. My blood was checked out OK for coagulants and other things that may have impacted severe nose bleeds.
A co-worker told me about Ponaris-nasal-emollient that her fellow SCUBA divers used to help with dryness/nosebleeds. My ENT doctor confirmed this is a good product and well known to help some nose bleed sufferers. I started using the product and haven't had a nosebleed since. I use a Q-tip dipped into the bottle (instead of the dropper) after my morning shower and before I go to bed, sometimes mid-day if my nose feels dry. I'm not a doctor, but it works for me...so far after a year of use.

Helps In The Battle Against Sinus Headaches Or Infections - A Reviewer ":-)" on Feb 14, 2010 I Like

I just used up my first bottle, took me about 2-3 months. I only use 1/2 dropper for both nostrils every night at bed time. I use my homeopathic or cortisone spray first then lay on my side and careful add the Ponaris. I gently roll my head from side to side to get it everywhere inside. I think dry sinuses have been the cause to a lot of my headaches too. The smell and taste isn't for everyone but I will do anything to keep my sinuses happy. I purchased it first at a pharmacy but Amazon has an excellent price.

Ponaris Great For Winter Sinus Issues - Carol Heys on Jan 18, 2009 I Like

My doctor recommended this product a few years ago when I began to have sinus problems. These seem to come in the winter.
Ponaris helps tremendously with dry sinus and stuff conditions. I like it because it's a natural product and you don't develop a dependency on it.

Great Stuff! - Crystal Elder on Jun 16, 2008 I Like

I've used this product for the past 7 years. I've found nothing like it to help with my dry sinuses during the winter. If you have a tendency to get nose bleeds due to dryness, this should work wonders for you!

Review On Ponaris - Melanie Smith "The W on Dec 29, 2007 I Like

It's great to know that a product is out there that is totally natural and still does the trick! By gently lubricating my nasal passages, Ponaris Nasal Emollient works wonders to keep my mouth and throat from drying up while I sleep. I thus have much fewer instances of waking up with "dry mouth," or being unable to swallow well while I'm sleeping because of the dryness of the air. Great job!

Buggars Be Gone! - Tara "Tara" on Nov 8, 2009 I Like

This product was suggested to me by my ENT doctor to treat my dry cracked nose- it has fixed that problem and I now use it on my children too to prevent them from picking their nose- every morning and night I swab their nose with a q-tip full of ponaris and it gets rid of all the dry buggars kids are so likely to pick. Less nose picking= less germs= less colds!
Love this product.

WOW! Great Product - maggiemay on Jan 5, 2012 I Like

Ponaris is the best and most effective productive I've ever used for my post nasal drip. I have had a couple bad sinus infections, serveral horrible sore throats and coughs, and sleep problems due to my post nasal drip. I was getting ready to make a doctor's appointment 2 days ago, and found out from a relative about Ponaris and decided to try it. I've also been using a neti-pot for my post nasal drip for a few years and it helps but it doesn't get rid of it like Ponaris did.

Can't Find Anything Else Like It. - Laur Land on Dec 29, 2011 I Like

My doctor recommended this product for my chronic sinusitis. It has helped me so much but I can't find it many places and it's a bit pricey to have to purchase it every single month. I wish it were more readily available in stores so I could just pick it up when I grocery shop or at least be less expensive so I could buy it in truck loads. It's amazing! It really keeps my sinuses moisturized and I have less flare-ups when I use it. I use it everyday. Usually only at night but on days that my sinuses are really bad, I use it up to 4 times a day though I try not to use the whole recommended dose because I'm trying to make the product go as long a possible.

A Life-saver! - Sara Beth Wade on Dec 2, 2011 I Like

I really rely on Ponaris, I think it has greatly helped me cope better with the past year's seasonal allergies. I don't have dry nasal passages per se and I don't suffer from nasal congestion; what I get every spring and fall are sinus pressure headaches. I take decongestant to relieve my headache, which gives me sinus drainage--I usually end up with a sore throat and an upset stomach and a general "sick" feeling after several weeks of drainage. This year I started using a neti pot in the mornings and Ponaris at night--it does help with excessive drying, but more than that, it drains into my throat and really soothes the inflammation there. I've felt much better this year because of it and I won't go without it now! Totally a life saver for me!

Love This Stuff! - Venesa on Oct 23, 2011 I Like

I moved to beautiful Tennessee about 7 years ago and along with that move came not so beautiful sinus headaches. My doctor told me that TN is one of the worst places to live as far as allergies go. I tried daily allergy meds, a nettie pot and other basics to get rid of the headaches. Most worked to a certain extent. I read about Panaris oil and decided to give a bottle a try. I'm so happy with it. I use about 1/4 of a dropper in each nostril at night (the instructions say to use 1/2 dropper full in each nostril) and so far I haven't woken up with a single sinus headache. This stuff is like a true miracle for me. My husband started using it a few days ago too after hearing me rave about it and he likes it too. He only uses two-four drops in each nostril. The bitter taste can be shocking at first, but it's worth it for me and only lasts for a minute or two after using. I just purchased three more bottles, so my husband can have his own and so we don't run out!

Soothing & Hydrating! - micropreemiemom "Kri on Aug 31, 2011 I Like

I love this product! I suffer from a dry sinus all year long (constant nose bleeds). This product took care of it the minute I applied it the first time. The scent isn't too overbearing and the cool sensation is very soothing. I apply it nightly so I breathe easy all night and sometimes use it during the day too, if I remember. Definitely a 5 star product all around!

AmericaRx delivered product with in 5 days of ordering , but the order was one bottle short. I ordered 12 and received 11. When I called , was put on hold for some time ,and could barely understand the customer service rep. I asked to have another bottle shipped , but was told I could only get a refund for the cost of one bottle. I was disappointed because I use a lot of the product ordered. If the refund is given as promised , I would probably order from AmericaRX again. The product has a long shelf life, I was not shipped something that was going to expire soon.

Ponaris Nasal Emollient - Jersey Joan "JJ" on Jan 30, 2010 I Like

I use oxygen through a nasal cannula and my nose gets very dry and often bleeds. Members in my support group have mentioned this emollient, Ponaris, as being very helpful. After ordering, I tried using it several times, but not according to directions. Putting drops in nasal passages can lead to something called lipid pneumonia, so I just used a Q-tip and gently coated the area just inside my nasal passages. I found it not to be as effective as I was hoping, although I do like the fragrance. I would caution anyone who uses this to speak with your doctor first, as it could be very dangerous if not used correctly.
