Sutra Neti is a Hatha yoga technique to clean your nasal cavity. In Sutra Neti, the waxed cotton string is inserted into the nose and then pulled out from the mouth. Then both ends are held with the hands and nasal cleaning is done by to and fro motion of the strings. The method of neti performed bypassing a length of thread through the nose is called sutra neti. 'Sutra' means 'thread'. A specially prepared thread has to be used. It should be made of cotton, not synthetic fibre, tightly wound together and then wiped with melted beeswax. The width should be about 4mm and the length 36cm. However, it is more convenient to use a thin rubber catheter lubricated with ghee so that it slides easily through the nasal passage. It is a good idea to practise jala neti first to make sure the nostrils are clear.
