The steps to perform the Jala Neti procedure are:
First Stage- Washing Your Nostrils
Step 1: First, fill the Jala Neti pot with salt water.
Step 2: Stand straight with your legs apart.
Step 3: You need to lean forward from the back and close your eyes.
Step 4: Now, tilt your head to one side and slightly raise your chin while moving the head back.
Step 5: Breathe through your mouth and insert the pot inside your nostril.
Step 6: The head should be placed so the water can travel from one nostril to another.
Step 7: Continue pouring water till the water on the pot finishes.
Step 8: Now, sit straight or adjust your body so the salt water can flow from your nostrils.
Step 9: You can blow your nose gently if you feel the need to do so to remove any excess mucus.
Step 10: Repeat this same process with your other nostril.
Second Stage- Drying Your Nostrils
Step 1: You must stand straight, close the right nostril with your right thumb, and breathe through the left nostril 5 – 10 times quickly. Once over, repeat the same process with the other nostril.
Step 2: You need to bend horizontally from your back, close your right nostril, and tilt your head to the right. Then, you need to breathe in and out through your left nostril 5-10 times. Repeat the same process with the other nostril.
Step 3: You must stand straight with your feet apart and close your right nostril. While doing so, you must also breathe out forcefully while bending forward from your waist. After completing this, you must return to your normal position while breathing normally. You must do this 5-10 times and repeat the same for the left nostril.
