25. Jala Neti (Yogic Nasal Cleansing) in Pratishyaya
• Among shatkarmas, neti is the best technique to purify
the nasal passage, sinuses, etc.
• Jala neti is one of the simplest forms of neti and devoid of
side effects and is easy to perform.
• Technique - Jala neti can be performed over a sink, a
bowl on a table, in the shower or outside. The neti pot
should be filled with lukewarm saline water; it should be
neither too hot nor cold before administration.
• Action:
– Jala neti rinses out the dirt and bacteria
– Jala neti helps to drain “dead end” passages like the
sinuses
– The eustachian tubes receive exactly the same effects as
the sinuses,
