Jalneti

Hi, everyone welcome back,

                  Today we are going to discuss about jal neti, it is yogic cleansing practice in which water flows one nostril to another nostril, which purify the internal nasal cavity. We live in the polluted environment we inhale the dust particles and the nose act like a filter so it should be cleaned regularly. This intern help to avoid cough, cold, throat infections, sinusitis, headache etc. Directly and indirectly affects brain and major nerve of the body. So let's see how to do it.

        Preparation -
                 
                   We need special neti Lota or neti pot. This pot is made up of plastic

ok, pottery,brass,or any other metal which does not contaminated the water. The nozzle on the end of the spont should be fit comfortably into the nostril so that water does not leak out. Then we need warm water should be pure, filter, it should be lukewarm and added with salt in the proportion of teaspoonful per half litre of water. Water test is somewhat salty like our eye drop. If painful or burning sensation is an indication of  too little or too much salt in the water.

Let's see the stage 1-
           
     - first take deep breath,then first right nostril close by pressing finger, take a breath by left side then alternate.

     - exhale and inhale forcefully 2-3 times.

     - fill the magic pot with prepared salt water. No

       - stand straight take some distance in leg 1-2 fit. Ensure that the body weight is evenly distributed between the feet. Then Ben forward and till the head to one side, breath from the mouth and slowly insert the nozzle in the uppermost nostril.

     - the nozzle should be pressed firmly e against the side of the nostril so no water leakage occurs.

        - then slightly tilt the neti pot in such a way that water runs into the nostril and not down the face.

         - then keep mouth open. Raising the elbow of the hand which hold the neti pot and it helps to adjust the position so so the water flows out through the lower nostril.

        - when neti pot is empty e remove it from the nostril, Central the head and let the water run out of the nose.

          -remove any mucus from the nose by blowing gently.

           - then tilt the head to opposite side and repeat the process.

             - after completing this process hostel must be thoroughly dried.

Drying the Nostrils- 

          1: stand erect- close the right nostril with the right thumb and in in and out through the left nostril 10 times just like in kapalbhati Pranayam.
             Then repeat through the right nostril, with the left nostril closed. And perform one more time through the both nostril.

          2:Bend forward from the waist- in this position Ben forward from the waist so that rank is horizontal.
               Repeat the same process as described above but tilt the head to right, closing the right nostril.
                Repeat again, tilting the head to the left side and closing the left nostril. Then finally repeat again with the head centre, breathing through the both nostril.
                This step help to drain tappered water from the sinus cavity.
