 Nasal irrigation, which is called ''Jala Neti'' in Sanksrit, was developed as an ayurvedic Yoga tradition in ancient India, and is one of the six cleansing practices, or “kriyas”, of Yoga. It is believed that clear breathing leads to clear thinking; therefore, by purifying the nose, a higher state of meditation can be achieved.
