Risks

Consult with your doctor, Ayurvedic practitioner or lifestyle advisor if this fits your lifestyle. If used improperly it can lead to infections and Vata imbalances.

When preparing your water solution it should match the PH level in the body, the taste of the water salt solution should taste like one’s own tear. Note that if there is already a Vata imbalance with a lot of dryness Neti should not be applied daily, this can lead to drying out of the membranes in the nostrils, which will aggravate that dosha even more.

Important to know

According to the texts Neti was only complete once it was followed by Nasya. Nasya is sniffing a herbal oil after Neti, which helps to lubricate the sinuses so that the salt water does not dry it out.

Conclusion

Before applying Neti pot check with a professional to see if this daily regimen is in line with the season and your constitution. If you notice that there is too much dryness after application you might want to refer to a different method which is called Nasya.
