How Often Should YOU Use a Neti Pot 👃🏽 JALA NETI for beginners - Ayurveda

How often should you neti pot? In Ayurveda, you can use a Jala Neti Pot once a day or once a week! Depending on your intention 😜
If you are sick, congestion, cough, cold and flu, you can use neti pot up to twice a day. Once in the morning, once in the evening.
If it's Kapha season (springtime) and you want to keep things clean from pollen and pollutants, you can use neti pot once a day!
If you just want general maintenance of your nasal passageway, you can use neti pot once a week! :)
HOW TO:
1. Prepare solution = 1/2 tsp fresh cracked salt + warm / room temperature water. Mix together.
2. Stand in the bathroom or above any other sink. Tilt your head to one side so that one ear is facing up and the other down into the sink.
3. Insert neti spout gently into the raised nostril and create a seal between the neti and your nostril.
4. Raise the neti pot and begin to steadily pour the solution into the lifted nostril, allowing it to flow out the lower nostril and into the sink.
5. Breathe through your mouth
6. One finished with one side, exhale a couple times to remove any excess
Flip sides and repeat.
7. Follow up with Nasya Oil** - especially vatas!!
Benefits of Jala Neti Pot:
Promotes good overall nasal and sinus health
Removes excess mucous
Clears respiratory irritants like dirt, dust and pollen
Promotes clean and higher quality prana, vital life force
Clear minded head and emotions
Balances the prana vayu, improves intake of sensory impressions

Super helpful. I've been doing the neti pot but in these dry winter months, my sinuses have become quite dry. Also, I'm often in ketosis, which tends to really reduce the amount of mucus my body generates. I'm going to try oiling my sinuses as well, and I have a feeling it's going to be just what I need. Thanks!

Never heard of it, but it sounds really good for your health 🙂

[@Clareminded]

It is! :) Especially during spring and fall when allergies flare up, but also great to do weekly for general upkeep of our noses 😜

[@daivashakti]

Charming lady :)

Safety is #1. Did I miss the mention of sterility? To avoid brain eating amoebas, use distilled water or boil water for 3-5 minutes & use within 24 hours. Neti pots must be washed with soap & water, dried & preferably sterilized for 90 seconds in the microwave.

Looks like a genie lamp :)

[@Clareminded]

Haha! Totally does!

[@joshuamast5128]

Just got mine I have severe allergies and sometimes I have to use it every day

[@jayam2078]

How much water (ml) to use please?

[@nirap2907]

Thanks for the video.. can we do Neto pot with mere plain water and then no oil??

[@Clareminded]

For Neti pot you'll always want to use fresh purified water and high quality salt, no oil in Neti. Nasya is when you apply a drop or two of oil along the membrane walls of the nose. :)

[@bethemindfulmomentum462]

My ayurvedic teacher always told me not to mix neti with nasya aka water and oil. I think possibly because is could aggravate Kapha..... thoughts?

[@desertayurveda6652]

I learned the same thing. It is best to split the 2 practices up by doing one in the morning and the other at night. Otherwise, it could breed infection. Great video! Keep sharing the wonderful wisdom of Ayurveda!

Hi dear

[@rasa-sarani]

What type of salt should I use? Rock salt?

[@Clareminded]

non-iodized salt is great. sometimes i use pink Himalayan. I would suggest a high quality salt over table salt :)

[@flow_of_life6143]

Clare, where have you studied the ayurveda?

[@Clareminded]

Answer? Music! Hi! Ive studied at the California college of Ayurveda for my Clinical Ayurvedic specialist certification :)

[@hardikpargi]

@@Clareminded you should watch "ramdev baba live" india aastha tv. this guy teaches awesome aryuveda, yoga practices. search him out.

[@zhennilin5794]

do you do enemas and eye wash as well?

[@Clareminded]

personally, yes! I love them both

[@zhennilin5794]

@@Clareminded Nice I'm trying all of these out too! Today when I tried Jala Neti, only droplets of water was coming out the other nostril and most of the water was stuck and not coming through. I tried tilting my head in different positions but it didn't help. Do you have any advice ?

[@Clareminded]

@@zhennilin5794 if you're experiencing congestion that may be blocking it from going through. However if not, I may try one more time and pranayama, but if not nasya is a lovely practice as well which is gentler. :) I wouldn't suggest forcing anything :)
