• Jala Neti (nasal cleansing with water)
Preparation: A special neti lota, neti pot, should be used. This pot may be made of plastic, pottery, brass, or any other metal which does not contaminate the water. The end of the spout should fit comfortably into the nostril so that the water does not leak out. The water should be pure, at body temperature, and thoroughly mixed with salt in the proportion of one teaspoonful per half a litre of water.
• Washing the nostrils
Breathe through the mouth. Gently insert the nozzle into the uppermost nostril There should be no force involved.
The nozzle should press firmly against the side of the nostril so that no water leakage occurs.
Tilt the neti pot in such a way that water runs into the nostril and not down the face.
Keep the mouth open. Adjust the body position so that the water flows out through the lower nostril. When half the water has passed through the nostrils, remove the nozzle from the nostril, center the head and let the water run out of the nose.
Remove any mucus from the nose by blowing gently. Tilt the head to the opposite side and repeat the process.
Benefits: Jala neti removes mucus and pollution from the nasal passages and sinuses, allowing air to flow without obstruction. It helps prevent and manage respiratory tract diseases. It helps to maintain the good health of the ears, eyes, and throat.
