The Neti Pot
Apr 30th, 2008 | Category: Health & WellnessThe practice of nasal irrigation originated in India thousands of years ago, with the practitioners of Ayurveda and Yoga. Today millions of people worldwide use this simple technique as part of their daily routine. Many of the 37 million Americans who suffer with sinus inflammation and infection are
turning to the neti pot for relief.
While some suggest the use of various herbal oils, the simplest Neti technique uses lukewarm water to gently cleanse the nasal passages. A soothing, gentle stream of salt water, the same concentration as tears, flows through your nose, washing away pollens, mucus, viruses and bacteria.
For many yoga practitioners, the neti pot is an integral part of their daily practice; benefiting relaxation, regulating breath flow, and stimulating the pituitary gland for higher states of meditation.
