What Is Jala Neti?
Over 40 Million people in the US alone suffer from sinusitis and are growing resistant to antibiotics. Several experience some sort of side effects. Neti or Jala neti is the best way of treating your sinuses naturally.
The Sanskrit term Jala neti refers to an ancient yogic cleansing technique, meaning literally "water cleansing," where the practitioner rinses out the nasal cavity with water (typically mixed with salt to form a saline solution for comfort) using a neti pot. The irrigation-specific elements of Jala neti are starting to be recognized by Western medicine under the term nasal irrigation to treat a variety of conditions.
Jala neti, though relatively less known in Western culture, is a common practice in parts of India and other areas in South East Asia, performed as routinely as brushing one's teeth using a toothbrush. It is performed daily, usually as the first thing in the morning with other cleansing practices. It may also be performed at the end of the day if one works or lives in a dusty or polluted environment. When dealing with problems of congestion it can be performed up to four times a day.
Neti is a very effective method to provide relief from allergies, common colds and even asthma. Neti helps in relieving headaches and facilitates in maintaining youthfulness.
