Neti, also known as jala neti or nasal irrigation, is an ancient Ayurvedic tradition of cleansing the nasal passages with a warm saline solution. Using a vessel that looks like Aladdin's lamp, you pour the solution into one nostril. The sea-salted water rinses out the build-up and bacteria from your mucous lining and drains through your opposite nostril.
Unblock Sinuses
Clearing the nasal passages eliminates the congestion common in colds, allergies and sinus infections. Less mucous also frees breathing and reduces coughing for those with asthma or bronchitis.
Regulate Temperature
Whether your nose tends to be dry or constantly running, jala neti helps regulate its temperature and humidity.
Heighten Senses
Jala neti clears the tear ducts, which can help improve vision. Clearer nasal passages also enhances the senses of hearing, taste and smell.
Better Breathing
With less congestion, your breath becomes deeper and more relaxed.
Alleviate Pain
Jala neti's cooling effect on the brain alleviates migraines, depression and stress.
