Technique

There are three main openings/exits to the nasal cavities, the mouth and the two nostrils. When performing jala-neti salt water is poured into one nostril with the aim of having it flow back out through the other nostril (rather than into the mouth). The ideal position to prevent water flowing into the mouth is when the lowest opening is the exit nostril, and the highest opening is the throat, with the entry nostril in the middle. This position can be achieved by leaning forwards, looking down slightly and then turning the head to one side. The saline (salt water) can then be poured into the elevated nostril and it should drain back out through the lower nostril. At the start of the irrigation you may notice mucus in the water, you should continue the irrigation until this ceases. At this point turn your head the other way and repeat the process pouring the saline into the other nostril. All this should take no more than four minutes to perform.
