• Holistic health and stomach are directly
  related. We eat our food or diet every day.  Busy
  lifestyle and not chewing food properly leads to
  undigested food and stomach ailments. Most of us
  eat it on the go and in a hurried manner. When we
  eat our diet, the food first goes to the stomach
  and remains there for a considerable length of
  time. After consuming a heavy meal, on an
  average, it takes around 2 to 3 hours to empty
  the stomach.  Then the food goes into the small
  intestine for further digestion and absorption,
  depending on what kind of food is consumed.
• In the stomach, the food gets converted
  into liquid chime with the help of enzymes and
  digestive juices. Now food is ready to move into
  the intestine for absorption.
• Although though the liquidated food gets
  released into the intestine, small particles of
  undigested food remain on the lining of the
  stomach. Of course, this may get flushed down
  when we drink water or when we take the next
  meal. But during that time, it can cause
  irritation and produce gas and acidity.

Kriya Help And Tips For Beginners

• Do not deliberate on this practice and think of
  it as disgusting. A common mistake most yoga
  beginners make. Such thoughts can prevent your
  body from appropriately vomiting. Think of this
  kriya as a fast cleansing practice. Within a few
  minutes, it provides relief from stomach pain and
  makes you feel light in the chest and stomach.
• Do not worry if all the water you drank did not
  come out again. Try to get out all the water as
  much as possible and even if the remaining water
  goes down it is okay. This water gets eliminated
  naturally. Do not worry about it. Just like any
  other practice, this Kriya will need some
  practice.
• Yogendra Vamandhauti stomach wash (gastric
  autolavage). This kriya is also referred to as
  Kunjala, Gajakarni and Gajakarma by various
  authorities. It is a simple and safe technique
  for maintaining proper hygiene of the alimentary
  canal.

The method for preparation of water
1. Boil 1 litre of drinking water and let it cool
till lukewarm. 2. Add one tablespoon each of salt
and soda bicarbonate in equal proportions and
stir well. 3. The sequence of steps- Stand or sit
comfortably (sit in a squatting position, if
comfortable). Keep drinking this mixture until
the stomach can contain it no more. Retain the
water do not throw out immediately. 4. Exhale
entirely and draw the belly in, deep towards the
spine. 5. After 5-10 seconds (as per individual
comfort), relax the abdomen and inhale well,
letting the stomach balloon. Keep repeating 5 to
10 times, as convenient. 6. Now apply slight
pressure on the pit of the stomach with the palm
and vomit the water out. If unable to vomit,
insert the forefinger and touch the palate or the
root of the tongue. 7. Rest for a few seconds and
repeat step5, above. Keep doing till all the
water comes out. Avoid strain and exhaustion.
