There were times when I experienced the release of thick fluids from my nostrils a few hours after doing jala neti, even after kapalabhati. I looked into the situations and found some reasons for this unexpected release of water from my nostrils after jala neti (bending down during inverted postures - shirshasana or sarvangasana)
Using Too Much Water: If you use too much water during jal neti, it can cause excessive water to stay in your nasal passages. To prevent this, try using a smaller amount of water for the neti practice.
Incorrect Kapalabhati: Sometimes, I realized that I was doing kapalabhati incorrectly after jala neti. This breathing exercise involves forceful exhalations while tightening your stomach muscles. It's meant to push out air and mucus from your lungs, which should help remove excess water from your nose.
Nasal Congestion: If you have a lot of congestion or blockage in your nose, it can interfere with the proper flow of air during kapalabhati. This can make it hard to expel the water effectively. Clearing your nose before the practice might make it easier.
Gravity: The angle of your head while doing kapalabhati can affect how well the water drains. Make sure your head is tilted properly so that the water can naturally flow out.
If you're still facing this issue, you might want to watch YogAadhaar Channel's YouTube video on jala neti for further guidance. However, if the problem continues, it's a good idea to consult a qualified yoga instructor or a healthcare professional who has experience in these practices. They can provide personalized advice to address the situation.
