Jala Neti

Jala Neti is an ancient technique of cleansing the nose with salty water.

This method has been practiced in yoga for thousands of years for the sake of the spiritual and physical health.

It also improves mental and spiritual activity.
 

Beneficial effects of Jala Neti:

Technique

To perform Jala Neti, you will need a special water container which looks like the Aladdin's lamp (see the picture). This container is called Neti pot, and you can buy it in yoga centers.

  • Fill the container with lukewarm water and add salt. Stir well.
  • Water should not be too cold or too hot. The proportion of salt is 1 teaspoon to a pint of water. It is best to use natural and clean sea salt.
  • Lean over the sink. Insert the extension of the pot in your left nostril and bend your head slowly to the right.
  • Keep your mouth open and breathe slowly through it.
  • Water should begin to flow into the left nostril and out through the right.
  • Let water flow for about 20 seconds.
  • Remove container and clean the nose using strong breathing.
  • Repeat the same process with the right nostril.
  • You can perform Jala Neti every morning.

Sutra Neti - cleansing your nose with a thread

Sutra Neti is an efficient method of purifying the nose. It opens the channels so you can breathe with full capacity.

This technique is performed by using a special thread made of cotton and wax.

Slowly push the thread into the nose through one nostril, until the other end of the thread comes out through the mouth.

Then gently pull the thread back and forth several times. Repeat the same procedure through the other nostril.

This technique is recommended in case the previous method (Jala Neti) fails to cleanse the nose.

Sutra Neti is done once a week. The best method is to learn Sutra Neti from an experienced yoga teacher.
