Jala Neti is a form of nasal irrigation, or cleansing, which originates from the ancient practice of yoga and Ayurveda. It is a safe, natural, and effective way to cleanse the nasal passages, improve breathing, and reduce symptoms of allergies and sinusitis.
The practice of Jala Neti involves pouring lukewarm salt water into one nostril and letting it flow out of the other. This helps to flush out any impurities or allergens that may be blocking the nasal passages. It also helps to moisturize the nasal cavity and improve airflow.
The main concept behind Jala Neti is that the body is constantly exposed to environmental toxins and irritants, which can lead to congestion, allergies, and other respiratory conditions. By cleansing the nasal passages, these toxins and irritants are eliminated, allowing for improved breathing.
The principles of Jala Neti include maintaining proper hygiene, using the right temperature of water, and taking the time to practice regularly. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the nasal passages are dry after each use, as moisture can cause bacteria and mold to grow. Finally, it is important to practice Jala Neti on a regular basis in order to maintain the health.

Recommendations:
Neti Pot - Generally, Copper Neti Pots are recommended. But now-a-days, good quality copper pots for neti are not available in the market, even at Amazon online market place - we could not find in the Amazon search for Copper Neti Pot. We tried with steel made neti pot too, and got disappointed with feedbacks thereof. The neti pots are better available at any of your local Yoga Institute like Morarji Desai Institution of Yoga at New Delhi, etc. The one we found that at amazon is cheap , can be easy to keep during travelling is small plastic neti pot at amazon. That works fine.
If you want to use to quality ceramic neti pot, that is available by Himalayan Institute at amazon, but yes it is expensive, even beyond the copper neti pot, but it is very customized to the nostrils and handling while doing neti. We have good experience of it as we have been using it for a long time. But again do not forget that it is ceramic one, it has to be handled with care and can be broken.
