Guest guest Posted May 19, 2001 Report Share Posted May 19, 2001 Have anyone done Stomach Cleansing Dhauti cleanse ? Agnes Stomach Cleansing Dhauti An excerpt from the book: " Sivananda Yoga Center, Yoga Mind and Body " Yogic Practice of Cleansing the Abdomen To be performed twice a week Dhauti cleanses the esophagus and stomach by removing excess mucus and food left on the stomach walls. Use a 16ft (5 m) roll of 2 in. gauze soaked in a solution of diluted sea salt and tap water. At first, swallow only one feet (30 cm), gradually increasing each time until you can swallow the full length. Step One: Begin by chewing one end of the guaze in the mouth, and chew and swallow until a short length remains out of the mouth. Step Two: Keep the cloth in the stomach, and perform abdominal churning. Bend forward slightly, with hands on thighs. Take a deep breath and exhale fully, pushing on the thighs. Draw stomach muscles in and out. Then, pull the gauze out. Practice twice a week on an empty stomach. Also, try, Nasal Cleansing or Neti, and you won’t have any allergies. Place one half a teaspoon of sea salt in a cup of lukewarm tap water. Tip your head to the left and hold your breath. Poor water into the right nostril and out of the left. Blow your nose and repeat on the other side. Neti is good for allergies, asthma, and respiratory problems. Dhauti cleanses the stomach of impurities, and it will make you feel wonderful if you can avoid feeling afraid of doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
