Neti Pot Instructions and Where to get a good one

A "neti pot" is a tool for nasal sinus irrigation. This technique is well documented as a method for cleaning and moisturizing the the sinus passages to help alleviate sinus symptoms related to allergies, sinusitus, and other conditions that are affected by the buildup of mucus and irritants in the nose.

There are various methods of nasal irrigation, but Jalaneti is mild and peaceful. I always think it is better to let gravity do the work if possible. WIthout naming names, certain methods use a squeeze bottle that involved shooting salt water up the nose. Not only is this less comfortable, but also forcing liquid through the sinuses can actually push contaminants further up into the body instead of encouraging them to get out. That is my opinion anyway.

If you Google "Neti Pot" you will find an increasing number of designs available commercially. Some are better than others. One of the best, is also one of the oldest.

The Jalaneti neti pot has been available for many years from HealthandYoga.com, a company in India, where the practice of Jalaneti was developed. Their newest design is the very best I have ever seen.

What makes the HealthandYoga.com Jalaneti pot so superior to all others are several unique design features they have developed after much research. First, I will mention the stainless steel construction, which is not only tough, but also easy to keep clean.

I used to have a ceramic neti pot and guess what happened when I dropped it in the shower? That is right, it broke. I once tried a plastic neti pot and never felt that it was truly clean, so I stopped using it. Plus the reservoirs on these other designs was always too small to do any real good.

Another advantage of this Jala Neti design is the larger reservoir, so you can neti both sides of your nose with one pot. This is handy for me, since I like to Neti at the end of my shower and getting out to get more salt would be inconveneient.

Finally, and perhaps most important, is the design of the tip that fits in the nose. I have found many neti pots are designed with tips that are too large for some, too small for others. This Jala Neti design is a tapered cone that truly makes it a one size fits all solution.

Keep in mind that a neti pot is like a toothbrush, they should be one per customer.

Here is where you can get details, and order online:
