Nasal cleansing with catheter

Just thought some of you might be interested in the yoga technique of Sutra Neti, in which a thin catheter (around 2mm) is passed gently into the nasal passages, and pulled out through the mouth. It is then moved backwards and forwards for a cleansing effect. I won't describe it here, as you can google it (but am happy to describe if needed). There is a photo in my album of it.

Hmm I have never heard of it. I have practiced jala neti, which is putting warm water mixed with salt into a specialy designed pot and then letting that water pour through your sinuses and wash them. It's pretty healthy and feels good when you master the technique.

Thanks, but no. It gives me a case of the queasies just thinking about it. But ya'll have at it!

I agree with you LadyDoc. I am ready for most medical procedures in a play exam, but not this one. I take my catheters where they were designed to be used.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I just need to mention that it is not (should not) be painful. Does that make it better? (or worse? 😃

I understand that it shouldn't be painful, but it doesn't make any difference. I have a very well developed gag reflex, and I think anything like that would trigger it in a big way. That's also the reason I don't enjoy any kind of gag in play.

If it were part of a true medical procedure, I would probably require sedation.

Still, thanks but no thanks.
