Neti Pot For Sinus Cleansing (Jala Neti, Nasal Irrigation) - Neti removes all the dirt and bacteria filled mucus from within the nose.

The Neti Pot is a type of nasal irrigation which naturally relieves allergies, sinusitis, breathing problems, nasal congestion, post nasal drip; it can even help prevent sinus infections.

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 (slightly salted) using a neti pot. The technique is very effective and starting to be recognized by Western medicine under the term nasal irrigation.

It also helps to drain the sinus cavities. This in turn, will help to reprogramme the body’s natural mechanisms against nasal infections such as hayfever, allergies, sinusitis and other upper respiratory complaints like sore throats and coughs, post nasal drip, inflammation of tonsils and adenoids.

It is beneficial for illnesses such as asthma and bronchitis as it reduces the tendency for mouth breathing by freeing the nostrils of mucus.

It has a cooling and soothing effect on the brain by drawing out excessive heat, and is therefore beneficial for headaches, migraine, epilepsy, temper tantrums, hysteria, depression and general mental tension.

Neti is of great benefit for problems associated with the eyes. It helps flush the tear ducts, encouraging clearer vision and gives a sparkle to the eyes.

It can be beneficial for certain types of ear disorders such as middle ear infections, glue ear, tinitis.

Neti improves sensitivity of the olfactory nerves, helping to restore lost sense of smell, and thereby benefits the relationship with taste and the digestive processes.

It has subtle effects on the pineal and pituitary glands which control the hormonal system. This has a harmonising effect on emotional behaviour.

Neti affects the psychic centre known as Ajna Chakra which helps in awakening higher states of meditation.

It helps to stimulate better powers of visualisation and concentration and gives a feeling of lightness and clarity to the mind.

Neti is excellent for those trying to give up smoking. Since it reduces the tendency for mouth breathing, Neti re-sensitises the nose to the actual pollution of ingesting smoke, thereby de-programming the brain of the physical and psychological addiction.
