Jala Neti - The Yoga Practice of Saline Nasal Irrigation

Jala Neti, or Saline Nasal Irrigation (SNI), is the traditional method of self-administered nasal cleansing. Originating in the yoga tradition, it has been used in many cultures for thousands of years and is known by satisfied users for its many physical and psychological benefits.

How is it Done?

A special "Neti Pot" is filled with warm, slightly salted water and the spout of the pot is inserted into one nostril. The position of the head and pot are adjusted to allow the water to flow out of the other nostril. The technique is not as hard or uncomfortable as one may at first think! You will be pleasantly surprised at this simple and effective method of health maintenance. Once learned, the practice can be done in about 3 minutes, and is easily integrated into a daily routine of body cleansing such as showering or cleaning of the teeth.
