Vaman Dhauti and Jal Neti are the ancient yogic techniques for detoxification, better breathing, and improved digestion. As pollution is increasing day by day in the world, stress is also increasing. Also, people who are busy prefer processed food more than home-cooked food, which accumulates toxins in our bodies, thereby affecting breathing and digestion as well as overall health.

These ways help in flushing out the impurities, clearing the respiratory pathways, and improving gut health.
