Complete intestinal cleaning

Shankha Prakshalana is made up of two sanskrit words- shankha and prakshalana. Shankha means conch and prakshalana mean cleansing. This is a type of Dhauti i.e. Varisara dhauti. The shape of our digestive system is similar to a conch (Shankha) which has a long spiral tunnel-like intestine. It is a yogic cleansing technique of the digestive system including the whole gastrointestinal tract (mouth to the anus). There are 2 types of shankhaprakshalana- laghu(short) and purna (full). This is done by drinking lukewarm saline water and is followed by a precise series of asanas. This practice provides a luminous body by eliminating toxins from the body. This technique tones the internal organs like the liver, kidney, digestive organs, and glands. It is very good practice for digestive disease, back pain, psychological disorders.
