=============
STEPS TO DO
=============
Wake up early in the morning, preferably on a weekend. On empty stomach and only if you feel good on that given day, go ahead, make sure the weather is good preferably when its warm and sunny avoid during rainy or extreme cold seasons.
The procedure goes as described below.
Prepare 1 liter of warm water with 2 teaspoons of salt. The water should be warm; also, it should be salty to taste. The temperature and salinity should be adequate for the procedure to work. (Salt takes care of the osmotic process in the system and warm water cleanses the intestine – washing machine yoga)
Action A) Drink 2 glasses of warm saline water
Action B) Perform ten rounds each of the following 5 asanas.
1) Tadasana (palm tree pose) 2) Tiryaka Tadasana (swaying palm tree pose-side bends in Tadasana) 3) Kati Chakrasana(upper body twists) 4) Tiryaka Bhujangasana (twisting cobra) 5) Udarkara Shanasana (squatted upper body twists)
Perform three iterations of A followed by B i.e. (ABABAB). If you are still feeling good, you may go for one more iteration. You will soon start feeling movements in your bowels and when you have to, empty them. You will most likely have to spend quite sometime in the restroom, so keep yourself free for this time. After an hour or so after having cleaned your bowels multiple times, the urge subsides. Relax and go into shavasana. You may eat after half hour a special food kichadi which will reline the walls of intestine.
===================
THINGS TO CARE FOR
===================
* Waking up early in the morning is ideal. The best results are obtained by performing the procedure earlier to any bowel movements.
* Sometimes, it takes half hour or more after the procedure for the bowel movements to start, this is normal. Even after an hour if nothing is observed (rare cases), just eat little kichadi. It will act as a trigger.
* The best thing is to do this on Saturday and have a light diet for real good effect (fruits, juices etc) and stay calm and composed for weekends.
* Severely constipated or have irritable bowel syndrome etc..you can do it at least once a fortnight and at the most once a week, the shorter version that is TTK solution.
*Heart related issues, high or low BP, severe back ache, pregnant woman please avoid the practice.
===============================================================================================
