"Neti" comes from the Sanskrit word "Jala Neti," meaning water cleansing. Although this technique was largely unknown in the West until recently, Indian yogis have used it for thousands of years as part of their daily cleansing rituals.
The concept is straightforward. Fill the neti pot with warm salt water and pour it into one nostril, allowing it to flow out the other. This process effectively clears blockages and prevents bacteria from accumulating in the sinuses. Although simple, mastering the technique requires some practice. For best results, always use salt water. While pre-mixed saline packets are convenient, you can also make your own mixture by adding about 1 1/2 teaspoons of non-iodized salt to a liter of warm water. These pre-mixed options often have a higher saline content, buffered to reduce discomfort. Make sure the water is as close to body temperature as possible to avoid any unpleasant sensations.
Once you’ve prepared your mixture, lean over a sink, tilting your head down and slightly to the side. Gently insert the spout of the neti pot into your nostril, creating a tight seal, and allow the water to flow gradually into the nasal passage. Continue to breathe normally through your mouth. If positioned correctly, the water will flow from one nostril to the other with a steady stream exiting from the other side.
It may take a few tries to get it right; it took me three attempts before I felt confident. If you experience blockages, you might need to switch sides several times, blowing your nose in between. Starting with half a packet is advisable; use one full pot for both nostrils initially. After some practice, you can use a full pot per nostril for maximum relief.
I've been using the neti pot nightly for about six weeks now. It has significantly reduced my sinus issues, which I've struggled with for the past two years, and even helped alleviate my snoring by improving nighttime breathing.
