Jalneti-cleaning the nasal path

January 10, 2009

If you are having trouble breathing or find that you just can’t seem to get your sinuses to come clean, you can try the method of Jalneti. This method uses saline water to clean out your sinus so that you can breathe easier and also has many other benefits that come with it.

Before you shrink up your nose at this method, it has been used for centuries to clean out the sinus. You may have heard of someone having a saline nasal irrigation or possibly a neti. That is what Jalneti is. It can help you with your allergies and any other infections that may be lurking up there. The best part is that there are no side effects as there can be with the traditional medications of today.

With this procedure, you drink the saline solution into one nostril and it flows out of the other one. To do this you will need a neti pot. The positioning of your neck is important when doing this so the water will flow from one nostril to the other. Fill the neti pot with warm saline solution (warm water with salt) and tilt your head forward and to the side to begin.

Put the end of the neti pot to one of your nostrils and slowly pour the solution into your nose. The water will flow out of the other side and then you will do the opposite nostril. The entire time, you need to breath out of your mouth. Relax and drink the water in through your nose. Your neti pot should be a ½ liter of water. You want to use the entire amount per side.

Once you have completed both sides, place your arms behind you and blow through your nose. This is to get rid of the water. After 15 times of this, look up and blow again to get whatever was left behind. Once that is completed, find a quiet place, lie on the floor in a corpse position for 10 minutes and get up slowly.

This is not to be done everyday, but when the need arises. This practice can help to reduce your chance of getting infections, help with asthma and your allergies. Once you get the hang of it, you will become an expert in no time.
