==History== {{More citations needed|section|date=February 2018}} The earliest record of nasal irrigation is found in the ancient [[Hindu]] practice of Indian [[Ayurveda#India|Ayurveda]] whose roots are traced to the [[Vedas]]. It was customary to perform jala-neti daily, as part of ''soucha'' (personal hygiene according to scriptures). ''[[Neti (Hatha Yoga)#Jala Neti|Jala neti]]'', which means to cleanse the nose with water, is an old yogic technique from India. The container used to administer the saline is called a "neti pot". This process removes mucus and dirt and clears the nose. A second neti technique known as ''[[Neti (Hatha Yoga)#Sutra neti|sutra neti]]'' uses a piece of string instead of water.
