Jal Neti is an ancient yogic cleansing technique that involves the use of saline water to flush out the nasal passages. The practice is part of the Shatkarmas, the six purification techniques of Hatha Yoga, and is designed to promote respiratory health and overall well-being. “Jal” means water, and “Neti” means nasal cleansing. By irrigating the nasal passages, Jal Neti helps to clear out mucus, dust, and allergens, promoting better breathing and nasal hygiene.
Jal Neti involves using a special pot called a Neti pot, filled with warm saline water. The water is poured into one nostril and allowed to flow out through the other, cleansing the nasal passages in the process. This simple yet effective practice can be done daily to maintain nasal hygiene and prevent respiratory issues.
Meditation offers a wide range of benefits that can positively impact your physical, mental, and emotional health:
Jal Neti effectively removes mucus, dust, and allergens from the nasal passages, promoting clear and unobstructed breathing.
Regular practice helps to reduce the risk of respiratory infections such as colds, sinusitis, and allergies by keeping the nasal passages clean.
By clearing the nasal passages, Jal Neti improves airflow and enhances the efficiency of breathing.
Flushing out allergens from the nasal passages helps to reduce symptoms of allergic rhinitis and other respiratory allergies.
Jal Neti helps to drain the sinuses, reducing congestion and preventing sinus infections.
By improving oxygen intake and promoting better breathing, Jal Neti enhances mental clarity and concentration.
Regular practice can help to alleviate headaches caused by sinus congestion and respiratory issues.
Jal Neti is believed to improve overall health by enhancing respiratory function and promoting better oxygenation of the body.
Performing Jal Neti is simple and can be done at home with the right guidance:
Mix a teaspoon of non-iodized salt in a glass of warm, distilled water to create a saline solution.
Pour the saline solution into a Neti pot.
Stand over a sink and tilt your head to one side.
Insert the spout of the Neti pot into the upper nostril and allow the water to flow through the nasal passages and out through the lower nostril.
Switch sides and repeat the process with the other nostril.
After completing the cleansing, gently blow your nose to remove any remaining water and mucus.
