A Lovely Monday Morning to You All!

Do you know………..A neti pot is used for nasal irrigation. It simply means the act of flushing out our nasal cavity. The word “Neti”, is derived from Sanskrit for “Nasal Cleansing.”  Neti pot has been used in Indian culture for centuries to treat respiratory problems and originated in Ayurvedic medicine.

                         Benefits of Using Neti Pot

It is becoming popular around the world and in Western culture too, because unlike over-the-counter medications, neti pot use doesn’t cause any unpleasant side effects. In fact, many doctors recommend using a neti pot for general nasal congestion, as well as colds, allergies, and sinus infections. I want to share my personal experience about neti pot use. This time during my travel, I had a bad episode of Vertigo. As usual, I took some Allopathic medicines to control my Vertigo. I did get a temporary relief, but had recurrence. Fortunately, I came across a Yoga guru at my relative’s place, who highly recommended and demonstrated the use of this amazing neti pot. I reluctantly tried it and immediately felt such a relief in my ear pressure together with clearing of my nasal passage. I showed my gratitude to him and used it once daily for a week. Since then, I have been using neti pot regularly 2-3 times a week.

Neti pot is a device that cleanses and refreshes the nasal passage. Neti pot resembles a long spouted teapot and can be made from various materials, such as plastic, steel, copper, or ceramic. Our nasal passage is the body’s first defense against irritants, allergens and even pollution (harmful particles) keeping them away from our lungs and respiratory system. Using a neti pot helps flush mucus out and keeps our nasal passage healthy. Benefits of using Neti pot:

• Neti pot is affordable and easily accessible
• Clear the nostrils to facilitate easy breathing
• Remove excess mucous and nasal congestion
• Ease sinus headaches
• Reduce the need for antiallergy medicines
• Reduce pollen or allergens in nasal passages
• Relieve nasal dryness
• Reduce cold and flu symptoms
• Alleviate sinus headaches
• Improve sense of smell and taste
• Prevent upper respiratory infections and cold
• Reduce snoring

Safety and How to Use a Neti Pot:

• Pour saline solution (3/4^th full) in a clean neti pot.
• Lean forward over a sink and tilt head sideways at about a 45 degree angle. Place the neti pot’s spout in the upper nostril (the one closer to the ceiling).
• Making sure to breathe through your open mouth, slowly pour half of the neti pot’s solution into that upper nostril. You will immediately see the neti pot solution begin to come out of the lower nostril. Which is a signal that the nasal irrigation process has begun.
• Repeat the same process on the other side.
• The whole process doesn’t take more than around 5 minutes. If any of the solution runs into your throat just spit it out and blow your nose to get rid of any leftover solution and/or mucus. Repeat the process with your other nostril. Make sure clean your neti pot well after each and every use, let it air dry, store in a clean area.
• Use the cleanest and purest water such as, filtered, sterile, distilled water (can be purchased from stores), or boiled tap water (cool down to lukewarm temperature), because we are trying to remove contaminants, not add more.
• You can use sea salt, kosher salt or a plain cooking salt for neti pot solution. Avoid using iodized salt as it can cause stinging.
• Saline solution can be bought, a pre-made sinus rinse or can be made at home simply by combining one cup of purified water (as mentioned above) with a quarter teaspoon to a half teaspoon of non-iodized salt, stir to dissolve, and use.
• Person with a history of nosebleeds may want to avoid nasal irrigation.
• Discontinue use if sinus issues worsen.
