Comments on: Jala Neti (Nasal Irrigation with Saline Water) http://yogawithsubhash.com/2009/05/22/jala-neti-nasal-irrigation-with-saline-water/ Yoga for Total Well-being Thu, 17 May 2012 07:50:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.3 By: Subhash http://yogawithsubhash.com/2009/05/22/jala-neti-nasal-irrigation-with-saline-water/#comment-41884 Subhash Thu, 10 Nov 2011 22:39:15 +0000 http://yogawithsubhash.com/?p=49#comment-41884 Dear Andrea, I am glad that you are trying the jala neti technique. In general, I believe a neti pot will work better as the flow of water will be smoother. In order to get the excess water to drain out, I suggest that you practice a few rounds of cat-cow pose right after the neti practice. Let me know how it goes. Good luck!

I feel more airy, calm and I can breathe better through my nose. Sometimes I get a stinging in my nasal cavity when I breathe in hard through my nose, but after doing this for the first time, that sensation is gone. My ears feel full as though I got water in them however. I found it difficult at first to get water to drain out of the opposite nostril and mostly I felt it go down my throat at first. I used a baby bottle instead of a neti pot and was wondering if the more free-flowing (faster) the water is, the better it works for flowing out the other side? Thank you!

It is great to see that you have used the neti pot for a while and enjoyed its benefits. Unfortunately, I have not practiced the sutra neti myself - hope to do it one of these days. Once I am comfortable with it myself, I will start teaching it. Thanks. Thanks a lot, Pat, for visiting my site and in particular the article on jala neti.

I have been using the neti pot for four years and during that period I have not had so much as the sniffles. Prior to this use, I would get at least one (sometimes two) colds a year. I am very interested in learning sutra neti -- using the string or surgical tubing. Is this something you teach as well? thank you. Excellent article!

First of all thank you so much for visiting my site and sending me your feedback. As for Neil Med rinse, I am really not familiar with it so it is hard for me to comment about it. I am surprised about the fever. I would like to know if she has tried it in the last few months again and if so with what result. I would like to hear back from you.

Water going to the head is not uncommon. However, you can do a couple of things to facilitate water flowing through the nostrils. If you think there is some blockage in the nasal passage, you may try to open it up by inhaling some steam just before neti practice. The other thing to do is to tilt the head a little more forward and to one side while practicing. Please let me know how it goes. Thanks and all the best.

Yes, certainly you can try jala neti. As for sutra neti, I would suggest that you consult with a local yoga expert who can show you the proper technique as well guide you whether or not you should do it. All the best. Dear Chamkaur,

I have checked all available literature with me and also did some search on the web and have not been able to find any mention of fever as a result of neti. So, I would like to believe that your situation is a temporary one and should go away with more practice. It is also likely, as you mentioned, that you may not be doing it properly. Please try it a few more times and write to me how you feel. I would certainly love to know your progress. Thanks. Dear Taruna,
