Fill calibrated spoon with fine sea salt to upper mark & bicarbonate to lower mark, tip both in pot & dissolve in drinking quality water up to top mark of pot. Solution should be no warmer than body temperature (37 C).
With head tilted and rotated to one side, insert carefully into upper nostril – get a good seal – then tilt pot to pour either the whole or half the pot though one side, then the other. Gently clear (blow) each nostril between sides. Sniffing (mid-stream) and spitting out the mouth further penetrates the sinuses. Water may continue to drain for some time after. Some initial stuffiness after jala-neti is normal. |
