Yogis have known the benefits of neti pots for centuries. While the science behind why the neti pot worked was unknown at the time, one thing was for certain: it helped them to breathe easier, which was essential in yoga practice.
Today, science has explained to us why this ancient solution helps relieve sinus symptoms. Mucus is an important part of our body’s protective system. It captures dust, pollen, and other airborne particles that could enter our body and cause us harm and clears out these particles either through the nostrils or out the back of the throat. But, sometimes, it can’t quite clear out on its own. It stays in the sinuses, causing allergy symptoms, sinus irritation, headaches, and other discomfort. The neti pot fixes that. Using a combination of salt and water, it flushes through the nose, helping to clear the mucus along with the harmful particles that the mucus captured. Regular use of a neti pot helps relieve dry nasal passages, prevent allergy symptoms, relieve sinus pain, and relieve swelling. The best part? It’s all natural—no medication is needed.
The nasal passages are lined with a thin layer of mucus that is one of our body’s first lines of defense against disease. A nasal wash keeps this layer of mucus moist, clean and healthy. When compared to other nasal wash techniques, using the Neti Pot is easy. Nasal washing can be as routine as brushing your teeth.
Rinsing with saline solution is a time-honored practice in the Orient. Here in the West, the nasal wash has been used for decades as a means of treating sinus problems, colds, allergies, and post-nasal drip and to counteract the effect of environmental pollution. Those practicing yoga and other meditative disciplines use the nasal wash to ensure free air flow through both nostrils.
Breathing through the nose filters and conditions the incoming air. The nasal passages are lined with a thin layer of mucus that traps dirt, dust, and pollen and moves steadily to the rear of the nasal cavity and settles in the throat where it is swallowed. Saline nasal rinses carry some of these impurities out of the body before they reach your stomach.
For some people, nasal washing is as routine as brushing their teeth. Others use it for specific purposes.
Suggestions:
- Do the nasal wash to wake up, clear your nostrils, and start the day breathing freely.
- Use it to remove excess mucus when you are experiencing nasal congestion.
- Do it several times a day during the allergy season to rid the nostrils of pollen and other allergens.
- Use if you’ve been exposed to soot, dust, smoke, or other airborne contaminants.
- Use it to dissolve mucus build-up in dry climates or in air-conditioned or heated rooms or after air travel. Do the nasal wash before practicing systematic relaxation techniques or meditation to help you breathe freely and easily through your nose.
Remember, the nasal wash is not a substitute for medical treatment.
Anyone with chronic inflammation of the nasal passages or other ear, nose, or throat disorders should seek medical attention.
