If the nose is blocked, or if the mucus
membranes are profusely covered in impuri-
ties, then the nose cannot perform its duties
effectively. In fact if the nose is completely
blocked, then one is forced to breathe through
the mouth. And we have already explained the
disadvantages of this process. This is the
reason why we blow our noses: to remove
these impurities and to allow the nose to
operate efficiently. However, the normal nose
blowing does not remove all impurities. In-
grained, dry mucus can remain. This is one of
the reasons that the practice of neti was
developed: to ensure the best possible cleaning
of the nose.
There are other reasons for the use of neti
such as the stimulation of various nerve
endings in the nose; this leads to improvement
in the brain and organs to which these nerves
connect and also helps in the stimulation of
ajna chakra, the midbrain psychic centre.

abstract
Neti kriya is an integral part of shatkarmas/the six cleansing techniques that form the most important
aspect of hatha yoga. Neti helps in preventing and managing upper respiratory tract diseases. An attempt
is being made to collate and review articles that highlight the therapeutic effects of neti kriya. Databases
like PubMed (January 1980eApril 2016), Scopus and Ayush Portal were searched. We used keywords like
jala neti, neti kriya, neti combined with terms such as yoga, sinusitis, rhinitis, common cold, vision,
snoring, nasopharyngeal carcinoma and mental health for the search. As only a few results were
obtained, we reviewed relevant studies with saline nasal irrigation. Evidence emerging from this review
suggests that neti offers manifold benefits and relief from the antibiotic grip. Most studies support the
role of neti in treating sinusitis, rhinosinusitis, allergic conditions and in improving vision. Jala neti has a
significant role in improving the presence of mind and intelligence. We identified that it can be applied in
mitigating post irradiation rhinosinusitis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. However, randomized control
trials must be conducted to substantiate the therapeutic efficacy of this simple cost-effective, non-
pharmacological mode of treatment.

Benefits
Neti is the best method of preventing and
eliminating colds. An effective cure for the
common cold has not yet been found. Neti is
not foolproof, but it goes a long way to solving
the problem. A cold indicates something signi-
ficant, namely that your body is in a weakened
condition. If this was not the case, the cold
virus would be unable to penetrate the defences
of your system; your autotherapeutic powers
would be strong enough to withstand such an
attack. The cold virus flourishes in nerve tissue,
particularly the olfactory nerves in the nose.
During a cold, neti greatly helps by removing the accumulated mucus in the nose, this being
a breeding ground.
