Jala Neti kriya (nasal cleaning) is a cleansing practice of the sinus passages with warm saline water. Yogis have practiced it for centuries for its innumerable and powerful benefits. It is also called Neti or Saline Nasal Irrigation. In yoga it has been used for its extremely powerful physical psychological and spiritual benefits. However in the modern world jalaneti has gained immense popularity because of its dramatic effect on the sinuses. It solves the sinus infection and allergy problems without the use of drugs with immediate immense and sustained results and without side effects. Method :A special NETI POT (as shown in the picture) is used. Heat filtered or bottled water (about 500 ml) to the point of boiling. Add a teaspoon of sea salt or rock salt (preferably) and stir. Let the water get to warm enough temperature which can be poured in nose without causing burning sensation. (Test the heat with your finger tips) Tilt your head and insert the nozzle of the neti pot into the nostril opposite (start with the nostril that is breathing better at that moment).Without force breathe through your mouth by keeping it partially open. Tilt the neti pot until the water starts coming out of the other nostril by gravity. This procedure is then alternated with the other nostril. The water drains out flushing the nasal passages and the linings thoroughly. After these the nostrils are dried out through special techniques. The way in which Jala Neti rinses out the dirt and bacteria filled mucous lining would be obvious to most people as the warm water loosens and dissolves any internal build ups and takes them outwards. But what may not be so obvious is that due to gravity and a venturi-effect the sinus passages are also drained by the vacuum pressure flow of the water. Whereas it would normally be impossible to drain a âdead endâ cavity like the sinuses Jala Neti achieves this ingeniously and simply.
