"Half Shell Gesture": A shortcut to healthy digestion. "Shell Gesture" - Shank-Prakshalana

Perhaps such a statement to a large extent right. In any case, in recent years, physiology and clinical medicine have given increasing importance to correct work intestines and draws parallels between many diseases and those processes that occur in the lower sections digestive tract. It is becoming more and more obvious that our mood and health depend on the state of the intestine, its microflora and functional activity. Considering individual techniques and the entire system of hatha yoga as a whole, you are once again convinced that the ancient Indians "saw the root." Through the application of individual kriyas and procedures, as well as through regular and balanced practice of asanas, we are able to make the bowel movements, as well as the rest of the digestive tract, coordinated, regular and efficient.

Shank Prakshalana is a powerful cleansing procedure that has a diverse healing effect. "Shank-prakshalana" is translated as "gesture of the shell", or "action of the shell"; it means that during the procedure, the water leaves the body as clean as it entered, as if flowing through a sink.

First, consider the technique for performing the procedure, which consists in sequentially drinking portions of salt water, followed by exercises that push the hypertonic solution through the gastrointestinal tract (GIT); the whole procedure is carried out until clean water” and leads to washing and radical cleansing of the entire digestive tract, primarily the intestines.

Before conducting shank-prakshalana (SP), one should refrain from taking protein, hard-to-digest food for 1-2 days. It is better if the diet consists of cereals and boiled vegetables.

Shank prakshalana is best done on an empty stomach, so the optimal time to perform the procedure is in the morning after waking up. After the usual hygiene procedures you can perform several series of agnisara-dhauti-kriya, after which you can proceed directly to the SP procedure.

First you need to prepare a solution. It is important to avoid the mistake that beginners often make by making the most saturated solution. Excessively salty water will create a high osmotic pressure in the intestines, which will lead to the absorption of fluid from the bloodstream into the intestines, a decrease in the volume of circulating blood and general dehydration. This will significantly complicate the procedure and worsen your well-being.

The optimal concentration of the solution is 1 heaping teaspoon of salt per liter of water. It is also desirable to add ½ tsp to the first liter of water. magnesium sulfate (magnesium sulfate, in the form of small crystals, it is sold in a pharmacy). Magnesia has a laxative and choleretic effect, which will facilitate the procedure and make it more effective. In addition, adding lemon (about a quarter of a lemon per liter) will help improve the process.

So, having prepared the solution, we proceed to the process. At the first stage, the process will consist in alternating the intake of the solution inside and performing the exercises, which will be described below. That is, at first the process goes according to the scheme glass - exercises - glass - exercises. Usually the first few glasses of the solution are not accompanied by the urge to empty the bowels. Then visits to the toilet after each series of exercises are added to the scheme, and the scheme becomes like this: glass - exercises - toilet - glass - exercises - toilet. And finally, at the final stage, the scheme takes the form glass - toilet - glass - toilet because there is no time left for exercise.

After drinking the first glass, we perform a series of exercises.

First exercise: i.p. standing. Tiryaka Tadasana. Feet hip-width apart, fingers in the lock, arms extended up above the head. We perform lateral tilts, keeping the body, pelvis and limbs in the same plane, alternately stretching side surfaces body, trying to move in the middle part of the body (in the area of the stomach and duodenum). It is believed that the exercise helps to open the pyloric sphincter of the stomach and the passage of the solution from the stomach into the duodenum.

Second exercise: i.p. standing. Kati Chakrasana. Feet hip-width apart, arms straight, extended forward parallel to each other. We alternately twist left and right, putting our hands behind our backs, turning with the shoulder girdle and fixing the pelvis and legs, so that twisting occurs as much as possible in the area abdominal cavity. It is believed that the exercise moves the solution through the small intestine.

Third exercise: i.p. lying on your stomach. Tiryaka Bhujangasana. Put your palms near the chest, leaning on your palms, raise your head, shoulders and chest(bhujangasana). Turn your shoulders, straightening one arm and slightly bending the other, looking over your shoulder at the opposite heel. Do the same on the other side. Similarly, you can perform the exercise from the position of urdhva mukha svanasana (you can stand on the floor with your toes). It is believed that this technique contributes to the promotion of the solution along lower divisions small intestine and transition from small to large.

Fourth exercise: i.p. squatting, knees apart. Strike Karshasana. Lower the left knee to the floor, turn the body to the right, right knee up, press the right thigh to the stomach. Do the same on the other side. The technique is believed to move the solution through the large intestine.

Each exercise is performed 8-16 times in each direction. All four exercises, performed without interruption, one after the other, make up one series.

At the first stage, we drink 4 glasses, alternating them with a series of exercises. After each glass drunk, a series is performed. After the fourth glass and a series of exercises, you should go to the toilet. It is possible that the solution has already had its laxative effect and then you will continue the procedure, visiting the toilet after each glass and a series of exercises.

If, after the fourth glass, there is no stool, then you need to drink two more glasses, interspersed with exercises.

Thus, you get 6 glasses. If there is still no stool and urge, you should pause. A common mistake beginners make is to keep drinking the solution in the hope that it will "push through" the contents of the intestine and the process will go on. This approach often leads to spontaneous Vamana-dhauti, and all the solution is erupted where it came from. What we want is for the solution to end up at the opposite end of the digestive tract.

Therefore, you should take your time and take a little time out if no stool appears after 6 glasses. You need to lie down in shavasana and rest a little. Perform a simple inverted asana (viparita-karani-mudra), light massage abdomen (clockwise, that is, the course of the large intestine). You can perform another extraordinary series of exercises. Often, a "congestion" occurs in the area of \u200b\u200btransition of the small intestine into the large intestine (the so-called ileocecal sphincter), to overcome this obstacle, it is necessary to perform targeted massage of this area - from a standing position, slightly leaning forward with the body, immerse straight fingers several times into the right iliac region (below abdomen on the right, in the region of the caecum).

If all these activities have not had an effect and there is no urge, you need to perform a cleansing enema with a volume of 800-1000 milliliters, lying on your left side. After that, usually the chair appears and the process goes on without problems.

In the toilet, you need to prepare a bottle of fresh water, a greasy cream and a towel in advance so that after each bowel movement you wash yourself and lubricate the perianal folds with cream. Otherwise, hypertonic saline may irritate this area.

So, then you continue the process by doing a series of exercises after each drink, followed by a trip to the toilet. Continue the process until clean clear water appears. For the first time, this usually requires 2-3 liters of solution. Magnesia can only be added to the first liter. Subsequent times, the procedure is faster and requires less volume. On final stages the procedure for performing exercises in the starting quantity is no longer required.

Finally, when you are convinced that the water comes out clear and clean, the process can be completed. Usually, at the final stage, the water is clear, but has a clear yellowish tint caused by the active release of bile from the gallbladder.

When you stop taking the solution, you must suspend the activated motility of the digestive tract, return it to a balanced state. To do this, you drink a small amount (half a glass) fresh water and, pressing on the root of the tongue, we call a light vomiting reflex(it is not necessary to spew water from oneself, a slight urge to vomit is enough to slightly reverse the process and stop the active promotion of the contents of the digestive tract).

Over the next hour, you will most likely visit the toilet 2-3 more times; This is fine.

When you have finished taking the solution, you begin to prepare food. Leaving the digestive system completely empty should not be more than 30 minutes, since the secretion of enzymes is activated and we must give them a substrate for digestion. Need to weld rice porridge without salt and milk; after boiling the rice well, we add a tablespoon of ordinary butter or ghee. Rice helps absorb salt left in the gastrointestinal tract.

Active activities should be avoided on this day. physical activity; food should consist of cereals, boiled and stewed vegetables. It is necessary to exclude from the diet concentrated protein food(eggs, meat, fish, cottage cheese, cheese, legumes). From the next day, you can include lungs in the menu dairy products. It is advisable to stick to a carbohydrate-fat diet for 3-4 days.

To colonize the intestines with the necessary microflora (especially in the presence of previous intestinal dysbacteriosis), a course should be taken of eubitiks - preparations containing lactic acid and bifidobacteria for 2-4 weeks.

The work of the intestine is regulated by a very peculiar department of the autonomic nervous system called the metasympathetic or enteric nervous system.

The entire autonomic nervous system (ANS), which regulates the functioning of internal organs, is divided into three sections. The tasks solved by the first two - sympathetic and parasympathetic - are widely known. The third department - the enteric, or metasympathetic nervous system (MNS) - is not mentioned so often, although it deserves it, at least in the light of analysis. physiological effects prakshalans.

The MNF is responsible for coordinating numerous structures gastrointestinal tract – blood vessels, motor smooth muscle formations, etc. The MNS contains approximately the same number of neurons as is contained in spinal cord- about 10 * 8, and they are located in the muscular and submucosal layers of the gastrointestinal tract. This formation is also called the "intestinal brain." For comparison, it is worth noting that the number of neurons in the parasympathetic system that regulates the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract is limited to only about 2000.

Unlike the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems, controlled from above and strictly subordinate to the central nervous system, the metasympathetic system is a formation that works almost autonomously and in accordance with the programs embedded in its own neurons. The central nervous system has some influence on the work of the MNS, but it comes down mainly to the modulation of its activity. The vast majority of the reactions and programmed acts of the MNS lie within its own limits, the constituent parts of the reflex arcs do not go beyond the gastrointestinal tract, and the links from the receptor part to the motor neuron that moves the smooth muscle elements of the intestine most often do not reach the spinal level, not to mention the level of higher vegetative centers brain.

IN normal conditions the intestinal nervous system (regulating primarily its motor activity) is autonomous. The role of metasympathetic innervation is much more significant than that of sympathetic and parasympathetic. So, the large intestine, extracted during the operation, retains peristaltic activity for some time.

Such an organization provides continuous control, coordination and regulation of intestinal muscle activity in its different parts.

Under the influence of various negative factors, such as chronic stress, irregular and malnutrition, a violation of the intestinal microflora, many pathological reflexes are formed different levels. Some are provided with metasympathetic innervation and are formed at the level of the intestine, the second are closed in the sympathetic nodes, and the third have a spinal or central level. All these reflexes fix abnormal, pathological reactions of the intestine: spasm of its individual sections, chronic lethargy or excessive activity. Motility disorders lead, in turn, to insufficient digestion of food and / or retention of its residues in the intestine; food remains that are not removed from the body in time begin to undergo fermentation, decay, etc., while the products of these processes are absorbed into the bloodstream and cause autointoxication of the body. Often used in such cases medications, forcibly eliminating motor disorders (constipation, diarrhea or spastic pains) bring short relief, but they confuse the autonomic "wires" even more, increase the closure of pathological reflex arcs.

The effects of SP are varied and are not limited to the mechanical release of the intestines from stool. Hypertonic saline, which is a natural laxative, along the gradient osmotic pressure absorbs water from the tissues surrounding the intestines. This leads to the fact that the internal lumen of the intestine is quite densely filled; at the same time, a series of exercises, which are mainly twisting in nature, intensively massage the intestines throughout its entire length. Neurons of the metasympathetic nervous system located in the muscular and submucosal layers intestinal wall, are subjected to successive and repeated "rolling", the annulment of their action potentials, which in turn leads to the rupture of pathological reflex connections. As a result, conditions are created for the restoration of the already normal reflex circuits embedded in the MHC genomes, and allowing the healthy reactions of the intestine to be realized again, its adequate and regular work in the future.

I had to witness how problems with bowel function persisted for one, two or more years of regular practice of asanas, nauli, agnisara-dhauti against the background of an orderly diet. But as soon as a person performed ONE shank-prakshalana procedure, the intestines began to work, as if waking up, as if something had turned on in it.

The gallbladder, the bile duct system, and the complex circulation of bile acids occupy an important place in digestion. Biliary tract motility disorders are a very common disease. The lethargy of the gallbladder leads to its untimely emptying, stagnation of bile, which in turn is fraught with the formation of stones in the cavity of the gallbladder. Shank-prakshalana has a powerful choleretic action, contributing to the emptying of the gallbladder and its ducts, eliminating congestion. To enhance the choleretic effect, a small amount of magnesium sulfate can be added to the solution.

Beyond the original nervous regulation, the intestine has another interesting and important feature- its population. More than 500 types of microorganisms live in the large intestine, total weight This population in an adult is about three kilograms.

Of the huge number of microorganisms that continuously enter the human digestive tract, only certain types of microbes are found in it. favorable conditions existence; in the process of long evolution, they entrenched themselves in it and made it permanent flora associated with the body by close ties.

The microbial biocenosis of the intestine has a complex hierarchical structure, a variety of interspecific relationships. This innumerable army is constantly doing a great job, directed not only at the digestion of food (as was previously believed); the entire population of intestinal microbes affects immune status organism, in recent years, more and more details about the relationship intestinal biocenosis with hematopoietic, cardiovascular and other systems. It becomes clear that the intestinal microflora is a kind of organ, an integral part of the overall homeostasis.

Of course, changes in the composition and properties intestinal microflora inevitably entail deviations in the work of adjacent body systems. A number of reasons can contribute to microbial imbalances – antibiotic therapy, inadequate intestinal motility, nutritional features; V latest research the connection of the microbial landscape with the ecological situation is proved.

It is not always easy to cope with intestinal dysbacteriosis using the methods of modern official medicine. IN complex schemes treatment may include courses of antibiotics to suppress pathological microflora, which are replaced by attempts to colonize the intestines the right types bacteria. In the presence of already concomitant disorders of intestinal motility, its inadequate excretory function restoring normal microbial balance can be even more difficult.

A properly performed shank-prakshalana procedure creates conditions for the renewal of microflora, close to the situation of a newborn - the intestines of a newly born baby are sterile and provided proper feeding populated with just the "correct" microflora. The microbial population of the adult intestine can be divided into two large populations - luminal, living in the intestinal lumen, and parietal, living in the mucus covering the villi of the intestinal epithelium. These two categories differ in functions, properties and "national composition". The first, luminal pool of microbes is radically removed by the shank-prakshalana procedure; the second, which lives in the parietal mucus, is preserved. That is, the intestine, although it does not acquire the sterility of an infant, nevertheless becomes a favorable environment for the formation normal microflora almost "from scratch" - subject to proper subsequent nutrition.

At the end of the procedure, it is important to remember about the correct “post-praxal nutrition”. The period in which it is necessary to adhere to the dietary regimen varies from one day to a week in different sources; The truth, as always, lies somewhere in the middle. J. The colonization of the intestines with the microorganisms it needs requires the exclusion of protein foods for three to four days. Carbohydrate-fat nutrition will provide the substrate necessary for the growth of bifidus and lactic acid microbial populations, which form the basis of a healthy intestinal microflora.

In relation to all the methods of hatha yoga, we can say that applied correctly and in the right situation, they can have a powerful healing effect, sometimes exceeding the wildest expectations. Carried out incorrectly, and even more so if there are contraindications, the techniques and cleansing kriyas of hatha yoga can cause equally significant damage.

Shank-prakshalana is contraindicated in any acute and exacerbations of chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, cholelithiasis, adhesive processes in the abdominal cavity, intestinal and gastric bleeding in history, during menstruation and pregnancy, with increased blood clotting. It should be remembered that shank-prakshalana has a powerful effect not only on the digestive tract, but also on the whole body, therefore Before making a decision to conduct a shank prakshalana, it is highly advisable to consult with a specialist in hatha yoga or ayurveda.

If you're thinking about salt water cleansing, just ask yourself one question... + softer and more effective

really cleanses the intestines

extremely dangerous for the digestive tract, if you do not follow a diet, it can spoil the microflora, nasty water with salt,

Hi all! This review will be without photos, which is unusual for me, but I have no idea what photos should be added to the bowel cleansing thread

I recently returned from Florence, where I allowed myself too much in terms of food, so I got the idea to cleanse my body, and, of course, start with the dirtiest part of it - the intestines. In the summer I read an amazing book about the importance of this organ, I strongly recommend it. After this obsession the plan arose immediately, I knew about the method of cleansing the body with salt water for a long time, I read a lot of positive reviews about this procedure. Why not, I thought, and added 2 teaspoons to the pitcher of warm water.

More about the procedure. Correctly it is called Shank-Prakshalana. The theory of its usefulness is based on the fact that our intestines are terribly polluted with toxins and other things and have a bad effect on us. There is some truth in this (I learned this thanks to the book): the state of the intestine directly affects our health and mood. The signs of slagging given in this theory included the following items: cellulite, bad breath (especially in the morning), poor sleep / drowsiness, depression, headaches, plaque on the tongue, weakness, abdominal pain. With many, at least a couple of points in life happen And the procedure promised to end everything, to renew the body, to give new life etc. It's decided, let's drink

Now for the procedure. Dilute 1.5-2 teaspoons of salt per liter of water and drink in glasses. After each glass, we do special, simple exercises (but since I don’t recommend the method, I’ll save you from exercises and won’t show you). After 6 glasses we go to the toilet and clean ourselves. The way worked for me. Because the water was clear at the end. The cleanup was successful.

How is it to drink salt water? It's horrible. It's just disgusting. This is unnatural. After the first sip, I wanted to stop all this, but I was afraid, because I did not know the consequences. At 3-4 glasses it was easier, as you get used to the taste. But at 5-6 you seem to be dying already. I drank a glass in 3-5 minutes, exercises also 3-5 minutes. Therefore, cleaning for an hour and a half is enough, quickly for such an action) Half an hour after the procedure, you need to eat (the cleansing itself is only on an empty stomach), only then drink. Eat all day only porridge without salt or boiled rice and boiled vegetables. Drink only water.

Won't so much salt water be a blow to the kidneys? They say that if the water is saltier than blood, it means that the kidneys do not accept it, which means that they do not suffer. I believe in it, the kidneys did not hurt.

And how is life after cleansing? On this day, I had no strength for anything, the next day my head ached, spasms and discomfort began in the intestines, the stool was broken. There was no lightness, the smell from the mouth in the morning is still there, cellulite 6 glasses of water will definitely not be removed))

What do I want to conclude? I regret that I tortured myself like this and dealt with this muddle. I don’t know what I was thinking, since salt water kills the intestinal microflora, which affects our immunity. My condition got worse, not a single gram improved. It's too radical and harmful method to advise him. I expected a greater effect, but it turns out that we do not store so much dirt in ourselves)

There are many other ways to keep your colon clean. For example:

Day on apples. Fiber cleanses the intestines very well, like a broom, without disturbing the microflora. Therefore, you can either eat an apple every day, or arrange apple days. Bran. The same fiber in a different guise. But it should not be abused, because it is very effective, once every few months during the week it can be used and there will be no problems. Chlorella. Algae, which cleanses the body, also contains great amount vitamin. It really does incredible things with the body, it seems to restart it.

If you're still thinking about salt water cleansing, ask yourself one question: Do you need it? Do you really think that you have so much harmful stuff stored in you that you need to get rid of so radically? Proper nutrition, or at least the recommendations above in general, will bring the gastrointestinal tract into good condition without any discomfort. Drinking salt water is clearly not invented by nature for a person.

Curiosity and the desire to be light and slim took over. The whole "Shell Gesture" in detail

really cleanses the intestines, lightness appeared

weight has not changed, can spoil the microflora, it is difficult to follow the recommendations

Hello dear readers!

So I succumbed to the temptation to quickly get rid of extra centimeters, and even for the benefit of the body))

So, having typed in the search engine “how to remove the stomach”, the first thing Google gave me was the Indian cleansing technique “Shell Gesture” (Shank-Prakshalana). I remembered that I came across reviews on Airek on this topic.

At first I thought that this was some kind of complicated and unsafe technique and decided that I could do with a special laxative to cleanse the intestines. But I didn’t find this remedy in any pharmacy and returned to the idea of \u200b\u200bperforming this strange ritual called the “Shell Gesture”

I think everyone understands where this name came from? That's right, because the processes taking place in the body at this moment are similar to the work of a tap, a sink, and further down the sewer))) i.e. all the contents of the stomach and intestines are washed out with a stream of water, thus cleansing the body of toxins and toxins.

Now let's talk more about the technique itself.

Preparing for the process...

As written in the "instructions" for cleansing, you need 10-14 glasses of water, which is about 2 liters.

It is better to prepare all the water at once, pour it into a saucepan, for example, and heat it to room temperature or heat it in a kettle, whichever is convenient for you. Then salt must be added to the water. Everything is complicated here, you need to be very careful! Some sources write that for every liter of water, one teaspoon of salt without a hill is enough. In others, that a teaspoon, but with a slide, in others they say that this is not enough and you need to pour a tablespoon per liter. I don’t know who to believe, but I realized that it’s better to overdo it than not report it. Because if the salt content in the water is insufficient, the process will be disrupted and the water will go to be processed by the kidneys / liver and will not reach the intestines.

So I put a heaping teaspoon for every liter of water, and then added a little more just in case.

How does the process...

The point is to alternate drinking with a certain set of exercises.

Drink a glass of water - do the exercises until your so-called "siphon" opens.

A set of exercises is best studied in a video course, because. The description may not be clear. It is necessary to do it, because. exercise stimulates the proper movement of water through the body and speeds up the process of opening the siphon.

I used this video course (at the very bottom of the page):

First you need to repeat the alternation 6 times.

After the sixth time, with the exercises done correctly, the siphon will open itself, but if this does not happen, you need to repeat the exercises again (without drinking).

My experience...

I drank the first two glasses very easily, I even thought that it was too simple and it was not clear why everyone was so outraged in the reviews.

The third and fourth glasses went harder. A feeling of fullness spread throughout the body. Doing the exercises has become difficult.

The fifth and sixth glasses aroused frank hostility, but I did not plan to quit what I started. There was a slight feeling of nausea, but when doing the exercises, it quickly passed.

Having completed the exercises for the sixth time, I began to wait. I did not have to wait long, the siphon opened after 2-3 minutes. The whole process was really like running a crane. I don't know if I should describe what's going on or if I should stop there...

I did everything according to the instructions and, without enthusiasm, wandered off to make the seventh run.

I barely poured the seventh glass into myself, somehow started to do the exercises, somewhere in the middle an urge appeared, but I decided to complete the exercises to the end, and then run.

The second time, sorry for the details, of course, the contents of my intestines were already cleaner. I was delighted, with more enthusiasm I went for a new batch of water.

Another glass of water, another series of exercises, another trip to the thought room...

This time almost pure water came out, which meant the end of the strange ritual. I succumbed to weakness to lie down for a bit, a couple of times I ran all the way to the same thoughtful room and wandered off to make myself dinner.

According to the instructions, this must be done no earlier than half an hour and not later than an hour, after the last glass of water. This must be done, regardless of desire. Starving is strictly prohibited! Even after the procedures it is not recommended to drink, and the strongest thirst will torment you. drink water or herbal infusion it will be possible only after eating, do not forget about it.

As for food...

Practitioners recommend eating rice boiled in water, without salt and other spices, at the first meal. Rice can be slightly overcooked. It is also allowed to use oatmeal instead of rice, which I personally did because of my dislike for rice.

It was difficult to eat, I ate a bowl of porridge in three visits. But after the first call, I drank two glasses of water!

Further, only boiled vegetables are allowed to be eaten. No meat, raw vegetables and fruits, and even more so spicy, fried, salty foods. Raw vegetables can be eaten only the next day, meat only a day later.

I confess, I could not resist - on the first day I ate some boiled shrimp. Then I ate boiled potatoes and that's it.

The next day, practices promise that your stool will be golden in color, odorless, like that of babies. Once again I apologize for the details, but the smell the next day was just hellish (like the babies that I had to deal with, and not those fabulous ones that smell like a rainbow))) Maybe this was due to eating shrimp, I can’t say for sure . In the stomach constantly seething throughout the day, but the lightness was really felt throughout the body.

What is the result.

After all the manipulations done, my weight and volume did not change, but due to the fact that after that I began to eat less and more light food, the weight began to slowly go away. Before the procedure, I weighed more than 59.9 kg, after a week 58.3 kg.

The next day, after the procedure, my whole face and chest were covered small pimples, I was scared, I thought that I spoiled the intestinal microflora, but after a day the pimples gradually began to go away.

Before that, I had problem skin, but those pimples that I had before the Gesture have not gone away. The skin has not become clearer, as the practice promises. The complexion has also not changed.

In fact, after this procedure, I was very afraid to spoil the intestinal microflora. Therefore, I excluded from the diet meat, alcohol, harmful products, ate mainly vegetables, fruits, cereals and sour milk. Most likely that is why I lost extra pounds.

I don’t know, it was worth doing all this with your body, especially, as it turned out, not so slagged. But I think everyone should try at least once in order to understand what is going on inside you.

If the result is not very good, then it will probably be necessary to repeat the procedures regularly, but preferably under the supervision of a doctor.

Personally, I do not yet burn with the desire to go through all this again.

In general, I believe that the regular repetition of the "Gesture" can harm the work of the intestines. After all, along with water, vitamins and beneficial bacteria and microorganisms, and it is not so easy to restore their presence. After all, our lifestyle and nutrition do not always meet the needs of the body. Therefore, having decided to do such a cleaning, think carefully about whether you are able to follow correct mode nutrition? If not, maybe it's not worth the risk? Remember that we have only one health and sometimes it is very difficult to restore it...

That's all, I hope this review was helpful!

Take care of yourself and your health and see you soon!

Terrible experiment

execution

I have wanted to try this for a very long time. But then she was pregnant, then breastfed, then again pregnancy. And so, having finished breastfeeding once again, I decided to take care of myself. I wanted to clean up, among other things, because of a large number medicines that were stuffed during pregnancy and in the maternity hospital. And the environment is not the best big city. And in Lately I also got eczema on my hands. And I decided it was time to clean up.

Of course, this method seemed to me the easiest and easiest to use.

I did everything exactly according to the instructions, I even checked with the lunar calendar (second quarter, 11th day of the lunar calendar is the best time for cleaning), plus the end of winter-spring.

And now, after the second or third glass, I felt dizzy, sat down to rest a bit - it seemed to feel better. But as soon as she got up, she almost fell from dizziness. But I decided to continue anyway. Even after the glass, the dizziness became very strong, literally holding on to the wall. I drank pure water, caused vomiting - it did not help. The pressure went up thirty points. There was a noise in my head, it began to grow headache, weakness, very severe dizziness, literally everything was swimming before my eyes, I could not concentrate on objects. I was really scared for my health. For another two hours I was stormy, I constantly ran to the toilet, washed my face with cold water, drank a lot of strong green tea with lemon (although it is not recommended to drink), and even Nurofen from an unbearable headache. And only after all this it began to let go. I won't be doing any more experiments like this.

And yes, the water was clean almost immediately (although I only drank 4 glasses in total), so there was nothing to clean.

How to ruin an ideal gastrointestinal tract?

extremely dangerous for the digestive tract, if you do not follow a diet, execution

The review is large, but it seems very instructive to me, and if at one time I had read something similar before this procedure, I would not have experienced all the horror that I am coping with now

More than a year ago I was fond of esotericism and yoga, faith in a miracle lives in me even now, taking on various forms. By lunar calendar was the first lunar day and the recommendations indicated complete cleansing: not bad, they say, to do prakshalana. Indeed, not bad, I thought, and spent a good 3-4 hours on this act. I collected information from various sources, observed all the proportions exactly, made movements according to the video, repeating after a funny thin man. It was a glorious sunny day, and I seemed to feel how not only the body, but also the soul was being cleansed. When the water coming out of me finally became colorless, with a feeling of complete satisfaction and all-consuming detachment, I began to cook the rice mixture for myself. I filled it with butter and it was very tasty for me. In the evening, a group of friends gathered in the center, they called me very much, and, having arrived, I sat there silent and inhibited, there were absolutely no thoughts, except that I am now clean and beautiful

She began to take bifidobacteria, since the sources said that this procedure washes out the entire microflora of the stomach, and bad bacteria, and useful, so it was imperative to populate my new virgin flora with usefulness. And stick to the diet!

But due to frivolity and unbridled laziness, I quickly scored on a diet, returning to my usual diet (without any particular harm, by the way, but nevertheless I could not deny myself a fried hook or soup on meat broth). A little later, I got tired of messing with bacteria, because I bought bifidumbacterin and I really didn’t like to fish it out of a glass container, and it turned out later that I didn’t store it in the refrigerator (I learned to read instructions only recently).

Everything is fine! My stomach has always been healthy, nothing hurt, and it didn’t start to hurt.

Only now, less than a month later, a terrible peeling of the skin of my face began - nothing helped! Any irritant (and then it was the beard of the man with whom I entered into a relationship) turned my face into the Sahara desert, no ointments helped. He took me to a dermatologist, where I was prescribed antibiotics, antibiotic ointments and sex hormone tests. (Everything was in in perfect order, I didn’t intuitively drink antibiotics, over time, an expensive ointment without antique helped - Elidel) The dermatologist decided that this is how my body gets used to a new man. (Others didn't, by the way.)

Since then, something strange began to happen to the skin, normal wrinkles appeared this year (now I’m 21), my hair was very split, despite high-quality care, there was no question of nails, they didn’t grow, and that’s it. I, who had never broken anything, injured my joint by jumping off an air mattress. Others began to whine, appeared strange sensations. Started getting sick often

I couldn't understand what was happening to me. somehow summer night took a bottle of Hennessy, didn't drink much, (I'm not a fan at all alcoholic beverages) but from that morning I was just GORGEOUS! My stomach was hurting like hell, I was afraid that there was some kind of meat, I sat on baby food and cereals on the water all week, everything was squeezing when I thought about food. Doctors-tests-gastroscopy = superficial gastritis, hyperacidity, duodenitis! But then I special significance I didn’t give it, the pains disappeared, everything returned to normal, I didn’t even finish the course of medicines prescribed for me, because I also drove out cystitis, and the abundance of pills confused me very much

The cystitis returned, the culture tank showed a different bacterium, I still had to take antibiotics. To say that these three days were terrible for me is to say nothing. Two months have passed, and the temperature has remained at around 37.2 in the evenings, with loose skin and chronic fatigue. I went to an infectious disease specialist and a hematologist, everyone shrugged their shoulders - well, yes, leukocytes are elevated. Do you want a flu shot? Already checked herpes, and the trait of a bald

And in the second month, my stomach began to hurt, and this was a discovery - I immediately remembered my diagnoses, read and was horrified by my frivolity! It's all about the stomach!! And the temperature, and problems with everything-everything-everything. But what about me, the one who chooses only quality products and bypasses fast foods with dry rations, which has never experienced problems in this area in my life, and even pain and indigestion, how could everything collapse for me?

Guess?

The procedure itself, I think, is wonderful. But such a powerful weapon should not be given to fools like me. Take care of your stomachs girls, all beauty comes from within

One of the most efficient technician cleansing the body in the arsenal of Hatha yoga - the technique of Shankha Prakshalana (Shank Prakshalana) or "Shell Gesture". This is a rather complicated procedure for beginners, which may “fail”. We offer a half, lightweight version of this technique, which has a similar effect, but is easier to perform.

The yogic cleansing procedure Shankha Prakshalana (“Shell Gesture”) is usually performed at the turn of the seasons, four times a year, that is, once every three months. It is known that this procedure not only fully cleanses the entire digestive system from stagnant impurities, but also contributes to overall health, increases the digestibility of food. As a result, the body resists infections better, a person becomes more efficient, more active. disappear unpleasant odors body. The skin is cleansed, "inexplicable" acne (which was actually the result of the accumulation of toxins) goes away.

There is a light version of this procedure - Lagu Shankha Prakshalana ("Half gesture of the shell"). For beginners, this procedure is simpler and easier, food restrictions after it are milder, and the whole procedure takes 30-60 minutes (whereas full version may take up to three hours). It can also be performed instead of the full Shankha Prakshalana by those who are sure that the body has not been slagged from the last cleansing.

preparations

On the eve of the night we do not eat, we only drink. In the morning we do not eat anything, if possible we empty the intestines. If you are unaccustomed to feeling dizzy from hunger, you can drink warm water with honey half an hour before the procedure.

Learn the exercises below so that they do not cause confusion during the procedure. There are many pictures on the Internet, stories about sensations and even videos on this topic. You can make yourself a printout-memo with the image of the movements.

Having mastered the exercises, you need to prepare 6-8 glasses (1.2-1.6 liters) of clean, pleasantly warm water, preferably boiled. Sometimes 4 glasses are enough, occasionally you have to increase to 8 (if after 6 glasses there is no urge to go to the toilet). Add salt to the water at the rate of 1 teaspoon per liter (if you are able to drink more salty water, you can increase to 1 tablespoon per liter, but do not overestimate your strength - so that there is no urge to vomit). During the entire procedure, the water should be warm.

Execution technique

We drink the first glass. If it’s hard to drink, imagine that you are drinking not salty water, but “delicious broth” or “Kalmyk tea” (such a “installation” works, and how!).

After drinking the first glass, immediately perform a set of standard Shankha Prakshalana exercises to pass water through the gastrointestinal tract:

Tiriyaka Tadasana (Twisting Palm Tree Pose. Tilts in one plane).
Kati Chakrasana (Twisting twist. Look at the thumb).
Tiriyaka Bhujangasana (Cobra Twisting Pose. Look at the heels).
Udarakarshan (“Goose step”. Alternately press one knee to the floor, twisting the stomach).

After completing this complex, slowly drink another glass, and do four more exercises. If you feel the urge to go to the toilet - go, then continue.

Attention. If there is a certainty that the gastrointestinal tract is heavily slagged, or if after the 4th glass there is a feeling of nausea, unpleasant gravity in the stomach and the “stomach is swollen”, while there is no urge to go to the toilet (which means that water from the stomach does not enter the intestines) - do all 4 exercises in 2-3 sets (i.e. the whole complex twice). In the future, also perform 2-3 sets before each next glass. Do not rush to drink water (in one gulp) so that there is no vomiting: it is not harmful, even useful (called Gajakarani kriya) - but after vomiting, it will no longer be possible to continue the procedure: the sphincters in the digestive system will close. Usually the urge to go to the toilet occurs after the fourth glass. If you have drunk all the water, and this does not happen, you can induce vomiting by tickling the root of the tongue (this must be done by leaning forward 90 degrees), or allow the water to come out naturally. If during the procedure the water did not pass, do not be discouraged. To some extent, cleaning still took place (you will see this with your own eyes when you go to the toilet).

Output power

After the procedure, do not go to bed, even if you want to (there may be a breakdown, this is normal). 45 minutes after the completion of the exercises, you definitely need to eat in order to “start” our empty intestines again. best food on this day - well-boiled rice or buckwheat, you can Khichari (rice + yellow lentils, boil well). Add a little butter or ghee to this porridge. Do not overeat on this day, the stomach is weakened!

Completion

If you feel the strength in yourself after 3 months to master the full version of Shankha Prakshalana (2-3 times more water) - we advise you to do this under the guidance of specialists at a special seminar, now such events are taking place in Moscow and other cities, prices are usually affordable.

Exists ancient method washing and cleansing the entire digestive canal - from the mouth to the anus. In Russian, it is called “Shell Gesture”, because water, passing through the digestive canal, as through a shell, washes away all impurities. It is desirable to start such washing after enema cleansing. Water is absorbed by the mouth, then passes through the stomach, and then, with simple movements, passes through the entire intestine until it exits. Exercises continue until the water comes out as clear as it entered.

PREPARATION. Heating water to body temperature, salted at the rate of 5-6 grams per liter, which is approximately the concentration of salt in the blood plasma (a small tablespoon without top per liter of water). The water must be salty, because without the admixture of salt, it would be absorbed by osmosis through the mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal tract and excreted in the form of urine, and not through the anus. In general, regulate the concentration of salt yourself, the main thing is that the body does not absorb water.

GOOD MOMENT. Most favorable moment morning comes, on an empty stomach, the whole flush, as practice shows, takes an hour and a half, and as you master it, 45–60 minutes.

Here is a diagram of the complete implementation of the passage of water through the digestive canal.

1. Drink a glass of salt water.

2. Perform the prescribed movements immediately.

3. Drink a glass of water and perform a series of movements. During these movements, water will slowly pass into the intestines without causing nausea.

Continue to alternate drinking water and moving until you have drunk 6 glasses of water.

At this point, you need to go to the toilet.

Usually the first evacuation occurs almost immediately, the first portion of feces, in the form of stool, will be followed by others, softer, and then liquid.

If this does not happen immediately or within 5 minutes, it is necessary to repeat the movements without drinking more water, and then return to the toilet. If the expected result does not occur, then it is necessary to activate the evacuation by means of an enema. As soon as the siphon is activated, that is, as soon as the first bowel movements have gone, the rest will follow automatically.

One piece of advice: after each visit to the toilet and after using ordinary toilet paper, rinse the anus with warm water, dry and lubricate vegetable oil to prevent irritation caused by salt. Some sensitive people subject to this slight irritation, which is easily prevented.

After this first bowel movement, you need to: drink a glass of water, make movements, then return to the toilet, and each time there will be an evacuation. Continue drinking water, exercising and going to the toilet in this way until the water comes out as clean as it entered the body. Depending on the contamination of the intestines, you will need from 10 to 14 glasses, rarely more.

When you are satisfied with the result, that is, when the water coming out of you is clean enough, you should stop the procedure. You go to the toilet several more times during the subsequent time. Then you can drink 3 glasses of unsalted water and induce vomiting. This will turn off the siphon and empty the stomach. According to tradition, yogis always vomit (Vamana-Dhauti) after Shank-Prakshalana.

FIRST MOVEMENT. Starting position: standing, feet apart about 30 centimeters, fingers interlaced, palms facing up. The back is straight, breathe normally.

Without turning the upper body, lean first to the left, without stopping in the final position, straighten up and immediately lean to the right. Repeat 4 times this double movement, that is, make 8 tilts, alternately to the left and right, which will take a total of about 10 seconds. These movements open the pylorus, and with each movement (tilt), part of the water enters the duodenum from the stomach.

SECOND MOVEMENT. This movement causes water to move through the small intestines.

The starting position is the same. Stretch your right arm horizontally and bend left hand so that the index and thumb touched the right collarbone. Then rotate the torso, directing the outstretched arm back as far as possible; look at your fingertips. Without stopping at the end of the turn, immediately return to the starting position and turn to the other side. This double movement must also be repeated 4 times. The total duration of 4 to 2 movements is 10 seconds.

THIRD MOVEMENT. The water continues to move into the small intestines thanks to the next movement: perform a variation of the snake.

Only thumbs legs and palms of the hands touch the floor, therefore, the hips remain above the ground. The feet are spread apart by about 30 centimeters (this is important). When the position is taken, turn your head and torso until you can see the opposite heel (that is, if you turn to the right, then you need to look at left heel), without stopping in the extreme position, return to the starting position and do the same on the other side, repeat 4 times in two movements. Time - 10-15 seconds.

FOURTH MOVEMENT. Water that has reached the end of the small intestines must be passed through the large intestines through the 4th and last movement. It is the most difficult of the entire series, although it is accessible to anyone, with the exception of those suffering from knee or meniscus diseases. These people can resort to the option described below.

INITIAL POSITION:

a) squat down, feet apart about 30 cm, and the heels are placed at outside hips, and not under the buttock, the hands are placed on the knees, which are spaced approximately 30 cm;

b) turn the torso and place the left knee on the floor in front of the opposite foot. The palms alternately push the right thigh to the left side and the left thigh to the right side so as to press half of the abdomen in order to squeeze only one half of the large intestine. Look behind you to increase the twisting of the torso and apply pressure on the abdomen.

While all previous exercises started no matter which way, for this exercise you need to start squeezing right side belly first. Like all previous movements, it is performed 4 times. The total duration is 15 seconds.

VARIANT of the 4th movement. This movement originates from the twisted posture (Ardha Matsyendrasana, p. 139, posture 2). In this case, the foot is simply attached to inside thigh and does not pass on the other side. The shoulder is drawn as far as possible to the bent knee, the torso is slightly tilted back. Hands rest on a bent knee, which serves as a lever for twisting the spine and pressing the hip to the lower abdomen.

CASES OF FAIL. If after drinking, for example, 4 glasses, you feel that the contents of the stomach do not pass in a normal way into the intestines and there was a feeling of overfilling, reaching nausea, this means that the pylorus neck (the valve between the stomach and the duodenum 12) does not open as it should. Repeat the series of exercises 2-3 times without drinking any more water. The disappearance of nausea will show that the passage is open. Once the siphon is activated, there will be no more difficulties and you can continue the process. But it may happen that in some persons a gas blockage of fermentation products prevents the siphon from being activated. In this case, it is enough to press on the stomach with your hands or do a shoulder stand (“Sarvangasana”) along with 4 other exercises.

In the worst case, that is, when the water does not leave the stomach at all, you are left with two solutions: to vomit by tickling the base of the tongue with two fingers right hand for the gag reflex to occur. Relief will come radically and immediately. After the exercise, you should rest and avoid starvation.

FIRST FOOD. After Shank-Prakshalana, the following prescriptions must be followed. There is no earlier than 10 minutes after the exercise and no later than 1 hour after the end of the exercise. It is absolutely forbidden to leave the digestive tract without food for more than an hour after exercise. However, the author uses Shank-Prakshalana to enter fasting, and in this case it is quite appropriate, it replaces taking a laxative.

The first meal will consist of rice boiled in water and slightly overcooked so that it melts in the mouth. Rice may be accompanied by well-digested carrots. It is necessary to eat with him about 40 grams of butter, and preferably ghee. Rice can be replaced with wheat, oats and so on.

IMPORTANT. Rice cannot be boiled with milk. During the 24 hours that follow the exercises, it is forbidden to drink milk, kefir, eat yeast bread. Eat only boiled vegetable stew and porridge. By doing this, you contribute to the revival of normal microflora. Raw fruits and vegetables are not recommended due to insemination by microorganisms, as well as excessive arousal. life principle"Wind", which activates relaxation. Rice just contributes to the oppression of this vital principle and brings the body back to normal. That's why raw vegetables and fruits can be eaten the next day.

DRINK. The absorption of salt water will attract, through high osmotic activity, some of the fluid from the blood into the intestines. So the liquid part blood is coming in the direction opposite to normal absorption, while cleaning the microvilli of the small and large intestines. It is this mechanism that makes Shank-Prakshalana unique. I don't know of any purge (other than hunger) that purges small intestine on which our digestion and absorption depend. Enemas only work in the large intestine. Therefore, this department remains without proper processing, and only Shank-Prakshalana contributes to its purification.

In connection with the above, you will have a natural thirst. Do not take any liquid, not even pure water, before the first meal, because you will "feed" the siphon, that is, go to the toilet. During and after your first meal, you may drink water or light herbal infusions.

The fact that the first bowel movements appear only after 24 hours will not surprise anyone anymore. They will be golden, yellow and odorless, like a baby.

Persons suffering from constipation can do Shank Prakshalana every week, but with only 6 glasses of water. In this case, the entire cycle is carried out in approximately 30 minutes. This is one of the best bowel re-education. This does not stretch the walls of the large intestine.

BENEFICIAL IMPACT. In addition to cleansing the entire digestive canal, you will also experience long-term beneficial effects: fresh breath, good sleep, the disappearance of the rash on the face and body. If you eat right, body odors will disappear. This tones the liver - this is noticed by the color of the first bowel movements - and other glands associated with digestion, especially the pancreas. The salty taste in the mouth stimulates the calorific and digestive abilities of the body, hence the effect on digestion.

Cases of underdeveloped diabetes were successfully cured by the doctors of Lonavla by performing Shank-Prakshalana every two days for 2 months; this was accompanied by a proper diet - more natural products, rich in vitamins of group "B", and compliance with the rhythm of the inclusion of the digestive organs.

CONTRAINDICATIONS. Persons suffering from stomach ulcers should abstain from Shank-Prakshalana and cure it first. The same applies to persons suffering acute lesion digestive tract: dysentery, diarrhea, acute colitis, acute appendicitis, intestinal tuberculosis and cancer.

Shank-Prakshalana is a wonderful procedure, everyone who practices it regularly is convinced of this. In order to master it quickly, practice it once every two weeks - and you will succeed. It can be used instead of enemas - 2 times a week for initial stage and then once every two weeks.

Four exercises of Shank-Prakshalana for carrying water through the gastrointestinal tract.
