Jal Neti .
Jala neti is one of the six purifying techniques, called shatkarma, in the "Hatha Yoga Pradipika." The term is Sanskrit and translates literally to "water cleansing."
Performing jala neti involves using a neti pot filled with room temperature saline water to pour through the nasal passages.
Procedure :
Perform jala neti at home, begin by bringing filtered water to a boil. Rinse out the inside of the neti pot, then add half a teaspoon of neti salt to the pot. Allow the boiled water to cool to room temperature first, then pour it into the neti pot, stirring the salt and water together. After ensuring the water inside the neti is at room temperature, stand over a sink and insert the nozzle of the neti pot into the right nostril. Open the mouth and, tilting the head to the left, slowly allow the saline water into the right nostril and through the nasal passages. The water will come out through the left nostril and flow into the sink. Once half the saline water is used, repeat with the opposite nostril, tilting the head to the right. Now the water will come out through the right nostril.
Perform kapalabhati kriya, a breathing technique, to blow out the remaining water from the nostrils.
