Jala Neti

What is it?

Jala Neti is an ancient yogic technique to relieve sinus and respiratory issues.

The word “Neti” means “nasal cleansing” and “Jala” means “water”.

How does it work?

Neti gently removes dirt, and bacteria filled mucus from the nasal structures.

Neti uses body temperature saline water to do this. This leaves you breathing clearer and your sinuses less irritated.

Conditions Treated.

• Neti helps the bodies natural defenses work against nasal infections, such as hay fever, allergies, sinusitis, upper respiratory complaints, sore throats, coughs, postnasal drip, inflammation of the tonsils and adenoids, asthma and bronchitis.
• It reduces mouth breathing.
• It can benefit middle ear infections, glue ear and tinnitus suffers.
• It can improve your sense of smell and taste, improving your appetite, digestion and interest in food.
• There often less need for other medications with uncomplicated sinus problems when you use Neti regularly.

For best results use your pot daily and in acute situations you may use it twice daily.

There is no contra indications with any other health modality
