RCSP Cotton White Neti Pot

RCSP Sutra Neti is performed by passing a cord made of rubber catheter into the nose through one nostril and then out via the mouth. The cord is gently pulled to and fro for some time, removed and then threaded through the other nostril and out the mouth again. With practice, the cord can be passed in one nostril and out the other nostril. 99% of the benefit is obtained by simply passing the string up to and through this nasal-throat valve while gently massaging the nasal membranes which reflex back to the powerful group of nerves which serve in common the entire cranium. Sutra Neti is another that is designed to clear the nasal passage to get rid of commonly problems (by helping desensitize the sensitive inner tissue). Today we look at Sutra Neti – what it is, its benefits and precautions that you must take while performing it. Sutra means thread, and neti or niti refers to a prescribed system or process. This is described as ‘yoga for cleaning your sinuses and is thought to relieve a blocked nose, ease headache, sinusitis and so on. Sutra Neti requires the insertion of a thread or a special type of rubber tube into the nostril in a way that it comes out of the mouth. This thread then dislodges mucous and debris and helps clear the nasal passages. It is also thought that common problems such as nasal polyps could be removed by this method. It is recommended that the kriya be performed early in the morning about the same time as one brushes their teeth etc.
