7 Miraculous Benefits Of Yoga Neti Kriya Practice
Many activities are mentioned in yoga. After asana, pranayama, one should also learn to do actions. Performing actions is considered very difficult, but immediate benefits come from actions. Yoga consists mainly of six verbs: -1. Trataka 2. Neti. 3. Kapalbhati 4. Dhoti 5. Basti 6. Nauli. Here is information about Neti. It is done in three ways: – 1. Sutra Neti 2. Jal Neti and 3. Kapal Neti.
1- Sutra neti: Take a thick but soft thread which is twelve inches in length and which can easily go into the nasal cavity. Soak it in lukewarm water and put one end of it in the nasal cavity and take it out of the mouth. Do this process very patiently. Then hold the cord of the mouth and nose and pull it up and down slowly two or four times. Similarly, it should be done with the other nose piercing. One day should do this neti kriya.
2- Jal Neti: Drink water very slowly from both nostrils. It would be easier to drink water from the nose if there is a tubular vessel than a glass. If not, first fill a glass of water, then bend the nose in the water and slowly let the water in. Do not draw water from the nose. By doing this you will experience some problems. After cleaning the throat you can drink water from your nose.
3- Kapal Neti: Remove from the nose slowly by drinking water from the mouth.
Benefits of Neti kriya:
1- It increases eyesight.
2- By practicing this action, the nasal passages are cleaned.
3- It does not cause any diseases of ear, nose, teeth, throat, etc.
4- By doing this, there are no complaints of cold, cold and cough.
5- By doing this action, the heaviness of the mind is removed, due to which the mind remains calm, light and healthy.
6- Neti Kriya is mainly used for cleaning the components of the respiratory institution. Doing this also makes it easier to do pranayama.
Caution: The cotton is boiled in hot water before putting it in the nose so that no bacteria remains. Any type of problem in nose, throat, ear, teeth, mouth or mind should be done under the guidance of Neti Kriya Yogacharya. Kapalbhati should be done after doing this.

If you, too, are wondering how to stay healthy during the festive season and control your calorie intake while also eating and doing what you want, you have come to the right place.

Even the most disciplined people can find it difficult to stick to their health routines during the festive season. But you can make things different this year. All that eating and socialising does not have to set you back on your fitness goals.
To help keep you on track, we’ve enlisted the aid of leading experts in health, fitness and nutrition for some much-needed advice. If you tend to get a little anxious around the festive season, don’t miss these simple tips and tricks to follow:
Nutrition and diet tips for Diwali festivities
Payal Kothari, nutritionist and author of The Gut, has shared with HT Lifestyle her tips on how to enjoy Diwali parties without compromising gut health. She says, “The festive season is filled with irresistible treats and family gatherings, but it doesn’t mean you have to compromise on your health goals.”
She suggests opting for healthier alternatives without missing out on the joy of eating; but the key word there is balance. “Choose nutrient-dense snacks like roasted nuts, baked samosas, and fresh fruit platters over fried foods. Moderation is key — enjoy your sweets, but keep portion sizes in check,” Payal says.
Dr Kiran Soni, head of the department of Nutrition and Health at Yatharth Hospitals Greater Noida, adds that to maintain health and fitness during Diwali, you should focus on portion control rather than completely rejecting your favourite dishes.
“Fill your plate primarily with vegetables and lean proteins, leaving smaller portions for sweets and fried items. Stay hydrated; when attending parties, eat a small protein-rich snack beforehand to avoid overindulging,” she says.
Another one of your non-negotiables this festive season should be staying hydrated. Payal says, “Focus on staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water, herbal teas, and infused water to flush out toxins and curb overeating. Drink soup at home if you can, and then head out, or eat a small protein meal before heading out.”
Easy workouts to fit into your festive schedule
It’s not easy to fit in your workouts during the festive season, but even if exercise isn’t quite your top priority during the month of October, you can still move to stay active. Dr Soni says, “Maintaining physical activity is crucial during the festive season. Aim for short, high-intensity workouts when time is limited. Consider morning yoga or stretching sessions to energize your day. Take walks after heavy meals to aid digestion and burn calories.”
Payal recommends short, effective workouts, such as a 15-20-minute HIIT session, 20-30 burpees yoga stretches, or even a brisk walk. She says, “If you’re attending family gatherings or parties, use the opportunity to stay active—dance during celebrations. Being the first one to initiate the moves on the dance floor can help digest the extra food and burn those calories. Or go for a walk with your loved ones. Even 10 minutes of stretching in the morning can improve your energy levels and help you feel your best.”
How to manage stress during the festive season
Diwali season can bring a lot of stress and strain on your mental health, ranging from mild annoyances to the types of anxieties that keep you up at night. And as you probably know, exercise is a great way to relieve all of that. Another truth: what you eat matters too.
Payal suggests adding mood-boosting and stress-relieving foods to your diet, like dark leafy greens, almonds, and foods rich in Omega-3s, such as chia seeds and flaxseeds. She says, “Soups are great for gut-brain health.”
Dr Soni adds, “Managing stress is essential for overall well-being during busy festive periods. Incorporate stress-reducing foods into your diet, such as foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids (like fatty fish, walnuts, and flaxseeds), complex carbohydrates (whole grains, vegetables), and magnesium-rich foods (leafy greens, legumes). Prioritise sleep and maintain a consistent sleep schedule as much as possible.”
Other coping mechanisms? “Practise mindfulness by incorporating short meditation or deep breathing exercises into your day, even if it’s just for five minutes. Prioritise quality sleep, and try to set aside a few moments of ‘me time’ to recharge. By making these small adjustments, you can enjoy the festivities guilt-free while maintaining a balance between health and celebration,” Payal says.
