Jal Paan / Dugdh paan : It is a process of drinking water or milk through the nose . It is quite easy to practice . The water that is drunk is prepared in the same manner as was the case in jal neti . The container too is the same . The rest of the procedureis also the same ,i.e.the nozzle is inserted into one of the nostrils , tilting the head in a little backward position ;the vessel is raised and tilted carefully so as to regulate the flow of water to avoid coughing ; Draughts are let into the gellet as in normal drinking . Mouth is kept open so as to allow the breathing to take place smoothly . The only difference is that instead of allowing the water to fall out , it is drunk . Half of the water is taken through one nostril, the other half through the second nostril .

Jal neti is particularly useful to drain out the mucus and and other nasal secretions that sutra neti , when performed stimulates their discharge . It also washes off the dust particles that may get deposited in the nostrils from time to time . This process also alleviates the intensity of the Asthama attacks , if not completely wards them off . Since asthmatic attacks can be prevented by breathing warm humidified air , the lukewarm water when drunk through the nostrils helps in this angle as well . In other words , this neti reinforces the impact of other two neties described above .
