Reviews

[Rukshana]

a quick and simple read for folks who want to use the neti pot to treat allergies, sinus problems, and other health issues. offers good basic instructions that you can't find on the internet as well as more advanced instructions for folks who want to go deeper. a yogic practice worth learning about...

good detail on how to best use the neti, I learned a few things that I will use this spring and summer to help with allergies, etc. Not much woo-woo stuff, mostly practical advice. The use of the neti links back strongly to Ayurveda, which I think is fascinating.

[Ravi Godase]

The book itself is informative and useful, however does the subject of Neti warrant an entire book for itself? The information could have been easily accommodated into other yog books by the author.
