Step 5) Turn your head to the opposite side and Repeat steps 3 and 4.
Step 6) Exercises after the Wash
You may want to do a few simple exercises after the exhalations in step 4 to expel
any saline solution remaining in your nose.
Exercise 1: Forward Bending
Bend forward from the waist far enough so that the forehead is
pointing towards the oor. Hold this position for a few seconds, and
then return to standing. Follow this movement with a few exhalations.
Exercise 2: Alternate Toe Touching
Place your feet 2 or 3 feet apart. Raise the arms out to the side at
shoulder height. Slowly bend from the waist and bring the left hand
to the right knee, shin, or foot, whichever you can reach without straining.
Reach up to the ceiling with the right hand, turn the head gently and look
toward the raised hand. Hold this position for a few seconds. Come back
to standing and repeat the movement to the left. Exhale through the nose.
When you have practiced one or both of these exercise routines a few times, you’ll
nd that they take less time than brushing and ossing your teeth.
7) Washing Your Pot
Because bacteria can grow on wet, dark surfaces, the Neti Pot should be cleaned
after each use. You can wash the Neti Pot by hand with hot water and mild soap, and
rinse well. After cleaning, let the Neti Pot air dry before the next use.
Always clean your Neti Pot and never share it, even with family members.
When cleaning, remember:
The Ceramic Neti Pot is dishwasher safe.
The Eco Neti Pot is not dishwasher safe.
Do not microwave either Neti Pot.
