Jala Neti
A simple yet effective process of cleansing the nasal passages with salted water. It helps with sinusitis, allergies, and activates the psychic nature.
About This Practice
Jala Neti is an ancient yogic cleansing technique that involves gently washing the nasal passages with warm saline water. This practice is particularly beneficial in modern times where pollution and allergens constantly challenge our respiratory system. The practice uses a specially designed vessel called a neti pot, where lukewarm saline water flows through one nostril and exits through the other, effectively cleansing the entire nasal passage. Regular practice helps maintain optimal respiratory health and prepares the practitioner for more advanced pranayama techniques.
