षट्कर्म निर्गतस्थौल्यः कपफदोषमलाध्किः।
प्राणायामं ततः कुर्यादनायासेन सिध्यति।।
These procedures of Shatkarma, while cleaning the physical body, play a vital role in the purification of subtle body. Twenty types of Kapha diseases, all Vata diseases, Pitta diseases, Skin problems, Digestive problems, Heart and Kidney problems can be cured by practicing these techniques. Brief Introduction of Shatkarma Treatment:
Simplified Six techniques of shatkarma in Shatkarma Clinic & Research Centre:
Jal Neti – This practice purifies the brain by removing cold, sinusitis and Nasal polyps and eradicates all the Kapha related diseases as well. In this process nasal passages are cleansed with lukewarm saline water, by which diseases like migraine, eye problems, insomnia, stress and depression etc. can be removed.
Sutra Neti – This technique is very beneficial in chronic cold, cough and asthma. Nasal passages and ears are cleaned with a catheter or string of cotton threads called sutra neti which removes all ENT disorders.
Kunjar Kriya – This technique, which cleans the stomach, is used to remove the aggravated Doshas(specially Kapha and Pitta) from stomach and whole body through the way of mouth with the help of water.
Shankh Prakshalana - The shape of our elementary canal is like that of a conch. To wash the conch-shaped canal is called Shankh Prakshalana (literally meaning ‘washing of the conch’) or Vaarisaar Kriya. This technique is capable of eliminating fatal chronic diseases. All digestive disorders, obesity, diabetes, high B.P., sexual disorders etc. can be cured by the practice of this technique. Researches have shown that practicing this technique alone can cure the 50 percent part of a disease and the rest 50 percent is treated by Yogasanas and Pranayamas. We all have a 32 feet long intestine in our abdominal cavity which, if not cleaned properly, accumulates the layers of toxins on its thin walls. Owing to that accumulation, the process of absorption of juices and excretion of stool does not happen properly which results in symptoms like dyspepsia, indigestion, gas & acid reflux etc. and indicates the arrival of earlier mentioned fatal diseases. Shankha Prakshalana cleans the whole elementary canal & gives us a disease-free and healthy body.
Trataka – Diseases like eyesight weakness, lack of concentration, insomnia & epilepsy can be cured easily by this technique. Concentration on the wick of a ‘desi ghee diya’ is practiced which helps in removing the problems of the patients.
Yoga Nidra – Yog Nidra is a guided meditation which increases the alfa waves in the brain. This process is very effective in the cure of diseases like stress, high B.P., heart problems and insomnia. A healthy mind is the primary necessity for a healthy body. This process cures the diseases with the coordination of body, mind & breathing.
