Due to the drop in temperature many of us have already caught a cold. Here is one of my favourite and quickest methods to cure cold in less than 2 days!
Practicing the Jala Neti technique helps remove excess mucous and bacteria and relieves nasal and sinus blockages. It refreshes the brain, face, eyes and improves mental clarity. It helps to get relief from allergies, asthma, sinusitis and headaches.
REQUIREMENTS:
-
NETI POT neti pot (click on this link for the best price on amazon)
-
LUKEWARM WATER
-
SALT ( we can use home cooking salt also , but special ones are also available in this link —-> salts )
-
Wash basin
PROCEDURE :
-
Fill a Neti pot with lukewarm salted water. The amount of salt should be similar to the salt levels in your body (like your tears, for example).
-
Lean over a sink, tilt your head sideways and insert the spout of the pot into one nostril. Breathe through your mouth. DO NOT INHALE THROUGH YOUR NOSE AS IT MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS PROBLEMS.
-
The water flows through one nostril and comes out through the other. In the process of the water flowing from one nostril to the other, it cleanses the nasal and sinus passages. Blow your nose to remove mucus and repeat through the other nostril.
-
Open your mouth and breathe gently through the mouth while the water is passing through. Try not to sniff, swallow or have any movement of air through the nose while the water is flowing through.
-
Make sure you use clean drinking water to avoid infection. Also, note that excess salt and heat can cause a burning sensation, so take care to add just the right amount of salt and the right warmth for the water.
To combat allergies, we also need to make sure we exercise right and have a balanced diet. The more oxygen we get into our system through cardio activity, the more toxins we get rid off and the more rejuvenated our cells will become.
