Water Therapy for Internal Body Cleansing

In our day-to-day busy life we find some time to clean our surroundings be it our home, room, desk, etc. Have any of you thought how necessary it is to clean your body, to rejuvenate it, and keep it young and healthy forever? Let me share a few easy body cleansing procedures, that can be done at home at your leisure time, and maintain a good health.

There are two main types of procedures: one to cleanse through upper tract, Vamana Dhouthi, the other, to cleanse the lower tract, Laghushanka Prakshalana. 
The aim of these procedures is
- to boost up the stamina

- to cleanse the inner tracts

- to remove tardiness of organs

- to develop an inner awareness

- for the desensitization of the body cells
