What is Jala Neti (Nasal Wash)?Jala neti, or nasal wash is an age-old yogic
shatkarma technique used for cleansing the nasal passages and sinuses. It is generally performed with a neti pot (available at yoga supply store or any drug store). The neti pot is filled with a mixture of clean warm water and pure salt (without any additives like iodine) and run through one nasal passage, over the back edge of the nasal septum (the divider between left and right nostrils), and back out through the other nostril. The salt content (which needs to be adjusted) will determine the comfort of this practice.
The neti pot can be replaced by a bowl, and the water is drawn up directly through our nasal passages with negative pressure from the lungs, rather than a neti pot, which relies on gravity to pass water through the nasal passages. Neti can also be combined with amaroli.
