Origins of the Neti Pot
The neti pot originated from the Ayurvedic and Yoga traditions of ancient India. The practice of nasal irrigation is known as Jala Neti. Jala Neti is one of Ashtanga Yoga's purification methods known as Shatkarma. Beneficial for Pranayama and keeping the nasal passages free of impurities.

Ayurveda and Jala Neti
In Ayurvedic medicine there are three elements of the body (or Doshas) which need to be kept in balance - Vata (air), Pitta (fire/heat), Kapha (water). Cleansing with the neti pot corrects Kapha imbalances.
