After inserting the tip of the nozzle in the nostril, keep the mouth
open, let the water flow out of other nostril. While doing Neti Kriya
breathing should be done through the mouth. If mouth is closed water
will flow into the breathing canal, which obviously is fraught with
danger. Repeat the same kriya through the other nostril also. Remember
that not even a drop of water should remain on the walls of the nose.
It is important that the inner side of the nose must remain neat and
clean. For this, breathe out the water forcibly with the help of Kapal
Bhati. Expel every particle of dirt and water from your nose in order
to keep it dry.

KAPAL BHATI PRANAYAM)
Apply Mustard Oil
in the nostrils
After the practice
of Neti, put a few drops of mustard oil in both the nostrils with
the help of dropper. There after draw it inside by drawing the breath
forcefully in. This will remove the dryness of the brain. It will
also facilitate the practice of sutr neti on the following day. Sutr Neti displaces the
mucus. Jal Neti extracts the displaced mucus out of the nostrils.
Kapal Bhati dries up the inner walls of the nostrils and applying
mustard oil lubricates the centre of ENT including inner walls
of the nose and the throat. Don't you find the above
stages of process similar to one used in servicing your vehicle i.e.
displacing and removing dust and mud by pressure of water, drying
up moisture by air pressure, changing oils for lubricating points
and polishing.
