Using a neti pot is a very nice unique and ancient Hindu experience that cleanses the sinus area and promotes overall good health in many different ways. Gaining in popularity all over the western world for the last few decades, the neti pots not only have a long list of diverse health benefits from regular use but have also become a great way to save money from cutting out many medications and treatments.

Neti Pot Health Benefits

The practice of using a neti pot to clean the nasal passages and sinus area is called Jala Neti, which in Sanskrit means “cleansing the nasal passages”. This is a very old practice that has been passed on by many professional Yogis, or professional Yoga practitioners as a way of purifying the body and creating a clean and clear path to maximise the various breathing techniques. Today, it is still a very common practice prior to Yoga sessions, but it has also become a very well-known tool for anyone needing some relief from the more common medical symptoms affecting millions around the world.

The way a neti pot works is very simple and effective for instant and long-term relief from allergies, asthma, headaches, sinusitis and more. The pot is very basic like a regular tea pot, which is then filled with a natural, chemical-free and warmed up saline solution. This solution is then flushed into one nostril and redirected through to the other, carrying along with it all of the excess mucus, foreign particles and bacteria with it. This creates a healthy breathing passage and clears the sinuses from possible infection or allergen irritation. By slightly cooling and cleaning the sinus area, this also helps relieve headaches and migraine symptoms that affect many people on a daily basis.

Neti Pot Cost Benefits

As for a cost benefit, it may not seem obvious from the get go, but purchasing a neti pot can certainly help save quite a lot of money in the long-term. With proper regular use, the neti pot can not only relieve some medical symptoms and conditions, but also help minimise or completely eliminate different ailments that may affect daily well-being.

By minimising allergies and sinus-related problems, it saves on the cost of medical treatments and medications that would normally have been used for more severe reactions. This is the same case for those who regularly use nasal sprays or other medications to help with regular breathing. By using one simple device with the most inexpensive ingredients of water and salt, it can possibly save hundreds of dollars a year for good health and better quality of life.

The history of nasal cleansing began as an Ancient Ayurvedic technique in Ancient India. The practice of using a Neti Pot for nasal cleansing is called Jala-Neti which literally means to cleanse the nose with water. It is still commonly practised throughout India. In modern times, saline nasal irrigation (SNI) has become more widely accepted as a home remedy to relieve conditions such as allergies, colds and mild sinus infections. Preliminary research indicates that SNI could also be an effective treatment for allergic rhinitis and chronic sinusitis. A conference abstract presented in November 2009 indicated that frequent nasal irrigation led to higher rates of sinus infections. Short term use, however, seemed to be effective.

The history and benefits from using a neti pot are certainly not something that should be ignored for good health and the improvement of one’s own body. Today, there is a very wide range of neti pot types and prices available all over the world, and the cost to purchase one is very low compared to the potential cost for sinus and breathing-related treatments that are purchased and used every day.

enjoy the use of the neti, and for those who like a bit of a rush, a the "yeti-neti" is suggested, it's like a different version of the ice cream "brain freeze"

how much we take the simple act of breathing for granted. let us breath freely and with great ease. so take time to smell the roses and to snort a neti pot!

*children please ask your parents permission, there is no purchase necessary and drink responsibly. only you can prevent forest fires. We are not responsible for nasal discharge or any other charges that your bank and/or govt. might impose on you. good luck!

Summary of the Benefits of Jala Neti

* Neti removes all the dirt and bacteria filled mucus from within the nose.

* It also helps to drain the sinus cavities. This in turn, will help to reprogramme the body’s natural mechanisms against nasal infections such as hayfever, allergies, sinusitis and other upper respiratory complaints like sore throats and coughs, post nasal drip, inflammation of tonsils and adenoids.

* It is beneficial for illnesses such as asthma and bronchitis as it reduces the tendency for mouth breathing by freeing the nostrils of mucus.

* It has a cooling and soothing effect on the brain by drawing out excessive heat, and is therefore beneficial for headaches, migraine, epilepsy, temper tantrums, hysteria, depression and general mental tension.

* Neti is of great benefit for problems associated with the eyes. It helps flush the tear ducts, encouraging clearer vision and gives a sparkle to the eyes.

* It can be beneficial for certain types of ear disorders such as middle ear infections, glue ear, tinitis.

* Neti improves sensitivity of the olfactory nerves, helping to restore lost sense of smell, and thereby benefits the relationship with taste and the digestive processes.

* It has subtle effects on the pineal and pituitary glands which control the hormonal system. This has a harmonising effect on emotional behaviour.

* Neti affects the psychic centre known as Ajna Chakra which helps in awakening higher states of meditation.

* It helps to stimulate better powers of visualisation and concentration and gives a feeling of lightness and clarity to the mind.

* Neti is excellent for those trying to give up smoking. Since it reduces the tendency for mouth breathing, Neti re-sensitises the nose to the actual pollution of ingesting smoke, thereby de-programming the brain of the physical and psychological addiction.
