A common question that one can expect to encounter regarding the usage of a Neti Pot is that if it can be used when a person is suffering from a severe cold? The answer is a big YES as long as the saline solution is made from distilled water and Neti salt. The Jala Neti through a Neti Pot can help you drain the excess thick mucus and clear out debris and pollutants giving you almost instant relief! It can help loosen up the thick mucus and alleviate the discomfort that clogged nostrils cause.
Have you ever wondered why plain water is not used for Neti? Plain water can be an irritant and a saline solution easily passes through the delicate membranes of the nose without causing any major irritation or burning sensation. Nasal irrigation through a Neti Pot is the safest and effective treatment method for maintaining respiratory health.
If you need to know why respiratory health is of such importance let us try and understand the functions our respiratory system performs- It circulates fresh air into our body and filters out toxic gases. This fresh air is warmed, humidified and cleanses/filters the air before sending it to the lungs. The delicate structures inside the nasal membrane regulate the direction of the air that is passing through them and maintain its velocity so that it can easily pass through the fine network of fine arteries, veins, and lymph nodes. The mucous membranes trap fine particles while larger particles are tapped through the nose hairs. This natural filtering process helps prevent and manage symptoms of cold and flu among other respiratory illnesses.
However, when the natural systems are overwhelmed during an infection, symptomatic treatment including nasal irrigation with a Neti pot is known to be a relief-giver. When the nose is clear, it facilitates and supports various other functions of the respiratory system which include the proper functioning of the diaphragm, supports the nervous system by calming it down and also boosts the digestive system.
Did you know that even your dental structure is linked to proper nasal breathing? When we breathe properly through the nose and not the mouth it facilitates the correct positioning of the tongue and the lips in their respective positions and aids in the formation of naturally and beautifully aligned dental structures. Isn't it wonderful to observe how intricately all our organs and their functions are interlinked with each other? When we take care of our nasal respiratory system, we are indirectly and directly contributing to our overall well-being.
Now that we have listed out the immense benefits of the everlasting Neti Kriya, it would not be an exaggeration to say that this is a miracle pot! If a small Neti Pot can help us manage respiratory illnesses, keep us fit overall, isn't it a wise decision to invest in one?
