Neti: Enhancing Respiration Through Yoga
Summary:
Smooth respiration requires clear and open nasal passages. Unfortunately, many people experience blockage in one nostril. Yoga offers a practice called Neti, which helps clear the nasal passages.

For optimal breathing, it is essential that both nostrils are clear and open, allowing air to flow freely. However, many people often find one nostril blocked. To address this, Yoga introduces a practice known as Neti, which effectively clears the nasal passages.
The traditional method of Neti involves using a thick thread, approximately one foot long, made by interlacing three or four thinner threads and softening it with butter or oil. This thread is passed through one nostril and brought out through the mouth. By holding both ends of the thread and gently pulling back and forth, the nasal passage is cleaned. Once done, the thread is removed, washed, and the practice is repeated with the other nostril. Alternatively, a rubber catheter can be used in place of the thread.
A milder form of Neti involves using lukewarm water mixed with a pinch of salt. By pouring the saline solution through a spouted cup into one nostril, while tilting the head slightly forward, the water exits through the opposite nostril, effectively clearing the passage.
Another variation of Neti includes ingesting water through the nose. The water, neither too warm nor too cold, is taken in a bowl. By slightly dipping the nostrils into the bowl and gently sucking, the water passes through the nasal passage. Initially, this may cause irritation due to the delicate nature of the upper nasal area, but with practice, it becomes smoother as the water flows through the lower nostril. This method is particularly beneficial in warm climates, offering a soothing and refreshing effect on the nasal canal, brain, and eyes.
Traditionally, water is stored in a copper vessel overnight and consumed nasally in the morning. With practice, an entire glass can be emptied within a minute or two, facilitating yogic breathing after thorough cleaning of both nostrils. However, individuals with a deviated nasal septum or other breathing disorders should consult a medical professional before attempting yogic breathing techniques.
