Today, Yoga classes can be found in almost every community in America. They are part of a general search for better health, vitality and awareness that is rapidly becoming an important part of our culture. Along with this search for greater well-being is an exploration of various methods of detoxification and internal cleansing. We cannot expect to feel better as long as our body is clogged with the pollutants and pathogens that can cause disease. Internal cleansing is probably the first step towards a healthier life, which includes not only special detoxification measures of a clinical nature but daily hygienic practices that everyone can do.

In this regard, the Yoga tradition offers us another important tool of self-healing, a special device called a 'neti pot' and a process of cleansing the nostrils or 'nasal irrigation' that it is used for. The use of this device is not only common to Yoga practitioners but is extending to the entire natural health community along with the use of herbs, massage and other alternative therapies. However, so far there is no single book which explains this important health tool how to use it on a daily basis and its greater applications for the treatment of disease.

This small book has arisen to fill that need. Its purpose is twofold. The first is to introduce the neti pot and its usage to everyone at the basic level of daily hygiene. This will provide anyone new to this ancient method of nasal irrigation a simple key to its operation on a regular basis.

The second is to introduce an advanced therapeutic usage of the neti pot, showing how to use it along with herbs and oils and in conjunction with other healing methods in order to treat specific constitutional (mind-body) types and particular disease conditions. This information will be particularly useful to health care practitioners, especially to Yoga teachers and Ayurvedic practitioners.
