Jala neti is a yoga technique, meaning literally "water", where the practitioner rinses out the nasal cavity with water (usually salted) using a neti pot.

A saline solution between 1/4 and 1/2 litre (8 and 16 US fluid ounces) is prepared of a 0.9% salinity. This matches roughly the amount of salt found in the blood.

One should become perfectly desireless and should be full of Vairagya before attempting to awaken Kundalini. It can be awakened only when a man rises above Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Mada and other impurities. Kundalini can be awakened through rising above desires of the senses. The Yogi, who has got a pure heart and a mind free from passions and desires will be benefited by awakening Kundalini. If a man with a lot of impurities in the mind awakens the Sakti by sheer force through Asanas, Pranayamas and Mudras, he will break his legs and stumble down.

Many irrigator manufacturers also sell salt packets. However, these "specially formulated" salt packets are not a requirement. To prepare the warm salty water, one must be careful not to make the water too hot or cold, or too salty or fresh. This is due to the sensitivity of the mucous lining within the sinuses. The ideal heat of the solution is near body temperature, and the salinity close to that of one's own blood. Usually one cup (US measure) of distilled or purified water is combined with 1/2 teaspoon (US measure) of sea s ...
