It sounds as though Nasal irrigation could be quite uncomfortable but I would like to do it for the benefits. What is the best way to avoid this feeling?
Everyone who comes across this technique has the same anxious thoughts running through their minds..will this really help me? it sounds like a natural way to bring balance but the feelings are revolted by the thought of pouring water through the nostrils. The best way is to become familiar with the information on Jala Neti (nasal irrigation)so you will be open and firm in your resolve to do it.
Some people can benefit from some guidance from a qualified practioner of Jala neti especially if they are a little nervous.Your anxious feelings will completely disappear and you will be amazed by how such a simple effective practice and experience could be achieved in a few minutes!
Is the size of the pot important? There is some information about neti pots suggesting that a neti pot has to hold 500ml water. Is this true?
The most important thing about practising or holding a neti pot in your hands is that the weight of the pot holding the water and the duration one holds the pot to the nostril does not compromise your hand /body posture ( eg arm becomes tired etc) whilst pouring the water.
The breathe with ease pot holds approximately 340ml, one should aim to pour 500ml water through each nostril in one session.But you do not have to pour 500ml in one go!
eg mix 1lt salty water in a separate jug and pour approximately 250ml into the pot or more and begin to pour through the right nostril, refil and then pour through the left. Then repeat once more this equals 500ml for each nasal cavity.
The breathe with ease pots are designed for a beginner and the more practiced.If you are familiar with jala neti and you like to pour more than 500ml through each nostril you simply repeat the process as many times you wish to.
Remember the quantity of water that passes through the sinus cavity is not necessarily the key factor for relief what is important is you trialling and feeling what meets your needs leaving you feeling relaxed and clear.
I have been using a plastic neti pot, but it really doesn't feel good to be using this material. I am also not sure whether to go with a ceramic or a stainless steel pot. I like the idea of ceramic , but I have heard that they can be less hygienic.
The breathe with ease pot has a glaze which is fired at a temp leaving it non porous- this means it's surface will not collect any bacteria and is completely hygenic.
Drinking from a ceramic vessel feels much more pleasant than using a plastic or stainless steel cup and energetically a ceramic neti pot feels pleasant to make contact with the body.
There is mountains of varying information/instructions on the types & uses of other pots keep in mind ceramic neti pots have been used for thousands of years plastic & steel designs are relatively recent.
Does the spout fully seal the nostril, so water doesn't spill before it goes through the sinuses?
The spout fits snug to the nostril and creates an excellent seal and the cone tip is slightly formed creating an even flow and pressure.
