Inhale Water Into Your Nose
Using your right hand, draw water into your nostrils three times, with the option to employ your left hand to block one nostril if necessary. Inhale briskly and carefully, avoiding excessive water intake to prevent choking. If inhaling water into your nose is challenging, moisten your fingers and apply water to the lower part of your nostrils as an alternative.
Always ensure the use of safe water for this ritual. In certain warmer regions of the world, water may harbor Naegleria fowleri, an amoeba that, if introduced into the nostrils, can lead to a rare but often fatal brain infection. Even tap water may carry contamination risks. To safeguard against this illness, it’s advisable to boil the water for one minute (three minutes at higher elevations) and allow it to cool before using it to rinse your nose.
