Yoga is a part of general search for better health, vitality and awareness that is rapidly becoming an important part of one’s culture. Internal cleansing is probably the first step towards a healthier life, which includes not only special detoxification measures of a clinical nature but daily hygienic practices that everyone can do. The Yoga tradition offers an important tool of self-healing, a special device called ‘Neti pot’ and a process of cleansing the nostrils or nasal irrigation that it is used for. The use of Neti procedure is not only common to Yoga practitioners but is extended in to the entire natural health community along with the use of herbs, massage, and other alternative therapies. Physicians suggest the Neti pot as a part of right lifestyle considerations both for the prevention of disease and for the attainment of optimal energy. The neti pot is an important tool of nasya therapies. Other nasya methods involve placing medicated oils into the nose with eyedroppers, snuffing powdered herbs, massage of the nasal region and other forms of steam therapy and massage to the head. The use of the neti pot can be enhanced by these other nasya methods and can be used along with them. With proper guidance from health care professional, one can practice Neti procedure on daily purpose to clear nasal passage.
