How to use a Neti Pot

A Neti Pot is a small ceramic or plastic pitcher. It has two openings, one at the top and another in the spout.

It is filled with salt water to cleanse your nasal passages. A sinus wash is recommended as part of your daily personal hygiene regimen.

Cleansing your sinuses in this manner relieves symptoms associated with colds, flu, sinus infections, nasal dryness, allergies, and other sinus irritations. It also helps reduce swelling of the nasal membranes.


This is how you use a Neti Pot:

1. Fill the Neti Pot with water. The water should be lukewarm (not too hot, not too cold) and can be poured into the pot directly from the tap (approximately 1/2 cup of water). Distilled water is recommended if the purity/safety of the tap water in your region is questionable.

2. Add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of Himalayan salt to the water. Stir with spoon to dissolve thoroughly.

3. Lean your head forward over the basin,bath,or in the yard bending your neck down slightly with your eyes looking downwards.

4. Gently place the spout of the Neti Pot inside your right nostril, forming a seal to avoid any outer spillage.

5. Open your mouth slightly. Breathe continuously through your open mouth during this sinus cleansing procedure. This allows a necessary air passageway so that the water will not drain from behind your nose into your mouth.

6. Tilt your head sideways, so that your right nostril is directly above your left nostril. Tip the Neti Pot, allowing the water solution to pour into your right nostril. Within a few seconds the water will naturally drain from your left nostril into the sink.

7. After the Net Pot is empty, remove the spout from your right nostril, and exhale through both nostrils. Gently blow your nose into a tissue.

8. Repeat steps 1 through 7 for your left nostril.

A few tips for the use of Neti Pots.

1. Make sure that you wash your Neti Pot after each use. Stick it in the dishwasher, if you have one

2. When you do this for the first time...make the water/Himalayan Salt mixture, a bit weaker then suggested.

3. Applying a thin layer of Aloe Vera gelly on the inside of both nostrils before the treatment helps sooth sensitive skin.

If you experience any discomfort please stop using your Neti Pot and see your doctor

Himalayan Salt Bath

You also create Himalayan Salt Bath which is used for therapy purposes. Start by placing Himalayan Crystal Salt in a glass or any container until it’s filled up. Then pour purified or natural spring water until the container is full. Allow the salt to be dissolved in the water. This may take about a day so be sure that you place the solution in a clean area and you can also opt to place a cover on the container. The next day, check if all salts have been completely dissolved and add more if no traces of crystal salt can be seen in the solution. The sole is ready to be used when the water can no longer dissolve the salt crystal so you would notice them at the bottom of the container. You can continue using the process by adding water and Himalayan Crystal salt in the container since the solution is free from germs and disinfected. It can also be stored for many years in a tightly closed container. Now you can use the solution in cooking your favorite menu, drinking it with water or breathing with steam inhalation.

Benefits of Himalayan Salt Bath

There are many benefits you can get from a Himalayan salt solution. It can be a relaxing and soothing effect for your body.

What are salt lamps

More recently, large crystal rocks are also used as Salt lamps. A salt lamp is a lamp carved from a larger salt crystal, often colored, with an incandescent bulb or a candle inside. The lamps give an attractive glow and are suitable for use as night lights or for ambient mood lighting. The largest producers of this product are located near to the source in Pakistan, with Poland and Iran also offering variations.
