What is a neti pot?

Neti Pot is a saline nasal rinse therapy. Made of plastic, ceramic, stainless steel, or copper, it resembles a teapot but has a longer spout. Many have pointed out that it resembles the magic lamp in the story of Aladdin.

Fill the copper neti pot with saline and pour it into your nostrils. The solution will flow through the nostril, washing away excess mucus and accumulated dirt, and out the other nostril.Then do the same process with the opposite nostril. Neti pots usually come with a packet of salt, but this mixture can be made at home using 1/2 teaspoon salt to 1 cup water. Neti pots are usually sold at drugstores, health food stores, and online. 

Ayurvedic doctor says that the depth and quality of your breath are essential to your well-being and health. Cleansing and clearing your nasal passages can greatly improve your breathing quality.

Copper Neti pot or nasal wash is the process of using a nasal wash cup and saline to wash and clean the nasal passages.

Why use it?

Breathing in allergens, pollution, and other forms of irritants increases mucus production, setting the stage for congestion and infection. Flushing away mucus and other particles can help dilute excess mucus, open the nasal passages, and reduce inflammation in the mucous membranes, which can swell when worsened.
