Yoga has been prevalent in India since ancient times as a knowledge that makes a person physically and mentally healthy. There are many such activities mentioned in yoga that are considered useful to keep you away from diseases. Yoga and Ayurveda tell about various ways to keep your body clean. Jala Neti Kriya is done to keep the respiratory system clean and remove toxins from the nasal passage. In ancient India, it was used by yogis to prevent and cure respiratory diseases. With this kriya, you can get rid of many diseases and infections related to nose and breath. As soon as any season changes, some parts of the body are immediately affected by it, especially the nose, throat and eyes. When the season changes, one often faces the problem of a blocked nose, sneezing, itching in the eyes, sore throat and congestion. Doing Jala Neti Kriya can provide relief from these problems.

In Himachal Pradesh’s Rampur Bushahr, under the joint aegis of the National Cadet Corps (NCC) and Himalaya Haridwar Hospital Yoga Samiti Ganvi, a mass Jalneti Kriya program was organized to explain the importance of yogic exercises and to encourage people to use them in their daily lives. Under the supervision of yoga instructors of Himalaya Haridwar Hospital Yoga Samiti, students and citizens of the city performed Jalneti Kriya collectively. This event of a maximum number of people performing Jalneti Kriya in one place was registered as a world record with the title of “Most People Performing Jalneti Yoga” in the Golden Book of World Records. In this mass Jalneti Kriya event, registered as a world record, a total of 580 people performed this yoga exercise.

Just as it is very important to adopt the right method to do any work, similarly it is necessary to do Jala Neti Kriya in the right way. This is a simple practice but still learn this amazing process under the guidance of an expert or your yoga teacher. To do this process, first of all mix half a teaspoon of salt in half a liter of lukewarm water and fill this water in the Neti pot. Now bend forward from the waist, and pour water from the tube of the Neti pot in one nostril. Pour water slowly. During this, keep the mouth open and do not take long breaths. This water should come out from the other nostril. Do the same process from the other nostril. After doing this process from both the nostrils, stand straight and do the compound exercise to be done after Jala Neti Kriya. This brings out all the water, bacteria and mucus inside the nose.
