Covid infection is spreaded by the following ways, as suggested by WHO:
- the virus spreads mainly between people who are in close contact with each other, typically within 1 metre (short-range). A person can be infected when aerosols or droplets containing the virus are inhaled or come directly into contact with the eyes, nose, or mouth.
- The virus can also spread in poorly ventilated and/or crowded indoor settings, where people tend to spend longer periods of time. This is because aerosols remain suspended in the air or travel farther than 1 metre (long-range).
Neti with hygienic saline water with hygienic neti pot, should not be the cause of contracting the covid infection. Obviously, for the covid patient, the pot must also be sterilized after every use to prevent further infection. It is basically cleansing system of nasal passages. (Nasal Wash System). Of course, Jala neti will help in mucus secretion that congests the nostrils.
It is always advisable to seek expert or physicians advice for details and guidance and neti in your case should not be practiced without the guidance and permission of your Physician. Let us stay at home following the Covid guidelines in the safe havens of our residence and make yoga as a part of our lifestyle.
