Jala Neti is a process of cleansing the nasal passages with salt water. This allows breathing to become free so that air can enter the lungs unimpeded by mucus and dirt which easily builds up during the day.
It relieves asthma, cold, and all kapha-related ailments. Above
all, most importantly, it calms and activates the nervous system in a big
