Jala Neti practice is beneficial for those suffering from obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), and for people who have occupational rhinopathy. Occupational rhinitis is an inflammatory disease of the nose, which is characterized by intermittent or persistent symptoms (such as nasal congestion, sneezing, itching), and/or variable nasal airflow limitation and/or hyper-secretion due to causes and conditions attributable to a person’s work environment. Work environments that cause occupational rhinitis include street sweepers, garbage men, coach builders, ecological operators, bakers, carpenters, laborers, typographers, and any work place that contains dust or pollen. These environments subject the manual worker to a host of inflammatory pathologies. During YogaMea’s yoga teacher training courses and retreats, we create and hold the space for our students to experience the practice. Because students are experiencing Jala Neti frequently and daily, they observe the benefits of it in their own bodies. Additional benefits include:
