Neti Pot
Thanks for visiting our site. You've found a central location to learn about the Neti Pot and its use in nasal irrigation for better sinus health.
A neti pot is a very simple device that has been used for centuries to cleanse the nasal cavities with a warm saline solution.
The actual practice of cleaning the sinuses with water is called Jalaneti.
Jalaneti is used within the Yoga discipline to cleanse the nasal cavities of pollutants and bacteria. The practice originated under the belief that the nostrils was a primary entry way for disease to gain access to the body.
Excess mucus interferes with the body's natural cleansing actions and dried mucus can trap bacteria and allergens against the sensitive sinus membranes.
The Neti Pot has a very simple design. Most will resemble a small teapot with a spout that is designed to fit the user's nostril
in a way that forms an effective watertight seal. The idea is to allow the user to pour a steady stream of warm saline solution through one nostril and allow it to exit
out the other side. This action serves to flush away unwanted materials that are entrapped within the mucus lining of the sinuses. The saline formula also irrigates the nasal passages and
helps to prevent these areas from drying out.
Neti Pots are made from a variety of materials and are available in a wide range of designs. Here is a list of some of materials that neti pots are made from.
There are advantages and disadvantages to each of the material types. Plastic pots are essentially unbreakable and easy to clean. They are also ideal for those that travel as they
are easy to pack and are lightweight. Ceramic designs are more easily broken but are ideal where the pot stays in place and can serve as a decorative, and yet functional accent to a bathroom for example.
Copper and Stainless Steel pots are very durable, however they are difficult to travel with and are generally heavier than their plastic counterparts.
All Neti Pots must be kept clean. After each use it is essential to clean the pot with a anti-bacterial dishwashing liquid and hot water. Ideally each user will want to have their own nasal pot. Sharing one pot will be difficult for larger family groups as
the pot must be cleaned between each use. Plastic pots can offer an affordable way to equip each member with their own neti.
Remember that neti pots are tools that allow you to safely and effectively flush and irrigate your nasal cavities. Individuals with chronic sinus problems may want to consider using a neti pot -- sometimes called a nostril pot -- as a way to help maintain better sinus health. Keeping the sinus membranes irrigated and
flushing out bacteria and pollutants can help keep the sinuses healthy. This procedure can be done up to four times daily and can easily be done while you are practicing your daily oral hygiene routine.
