Jala neti kriya, more commonly referred to simply as neti is a simple procedure for maintaining nasal hygiene by means of irrigating the nostrils with warm salty water.
    水洗清鼻净化术,通常简称为清鼻术, 是一种通过向鼻腔灌注温盐水来保持鼻腔卫生的简易方式.
    Neti effectively removes dirt and bacteria filled mucus from the nasal passages. It is an ancient yogic purification technique that is all the more relevant and helpful in our modern times where air pollution and airborne pathogens are becoming increasing health risk factors. By practicing neti you can breathe clearly and freely, thus enhancing your quality of life.
     清鼻术有效地清除鼻腔粘液中的污垢和细菌.这种古老的净化术是对抗现代社会空气污染和空气传播病菌, 改善健康状况的法宝. 通过清鼻术, 令你的呼吸更加清新自由,享受更高的生活质量.

Technique : The pot is filled with salty water. Use lukewarm water, close to body temperature or slightly warmer. Very cold water will cause the mucous gland to swell and can lead to headache. The optimal salinity is the same as tears. Add about 1 gram of salt for 100 ml of water. A decent pinch of salt per pot usually does the trick. If someone suffering from high blood pressure then don't use salt, just use lukewarm water, or can mix some Tulsi(Ocimum Sanctum).
技巧: 将盐水灌注壶中. 使用微温水,与体温接近,略高即可.注意,冷水粘液腺肿大,并可能导致头痛.最佳盐浓度应于眼泪相同. 将1克盐放入100毫升水. 通常手指捏起一小撮盐放入壶中即可.高血压人士,不要放盐, 只用微温水即可,或者放入一点圣罗勒.

    While pouring the water into the nostril the mouth is kept open allowing you to breathe freely. Always take your time to perform neti correctly - never rush the procedure. Breathing slowly through the mouth, pour the entire contents of the pot through one nostril. When the pot is empty, bend forward and let any excess water run out, then close the nostril with a finger and exhale a few sharp short blasts (not too forcibly or this may drive water up into the sinuses) and then repeat on the opposite side. Or also you can practice few strokes of Kapalbhati Kriya.
    向鼻孔倒水时,保持嘴巴张开,自由呼吸.始终从容地练习清鼻术,不要着急. 通过嘴巴缓慢地呼吸, 把整壶水从一侧鼻孔倒入. 倒空后,身体前倾,让多余的水流出. 然后用手指堵住入水的鼻孔,另一鼻孔短促有力的向外呼气(不要用力过猛, 否则会令水进入鼻窦), 然后清洁另一侧. 另外,可以练习几次圣光呼吸以排出剩余水分.

益处:

    Neti mildly stimulates the tear ducts, which help cleanse the eyes and give them added sparkle. Some say it even helps sharpen the eyesight and improve the memory. On an esoteric level neti is said to stimulate the ajna chakra (Third eye). It has subtle effects on the pineal and pituitary glands which control the hormonal system which in turn has a harmonizing effect on the emotions. Neti has a cooling, soothing effect on the brain and can help with headaches, migraine, epilepsy, temper tantrums, hysteria, depression and general mental tension. It can also help with certain ear disorders like middle ear infections, glue ear and some forms of tinnitus.
