Kapalbhati is a cleansing breath technique that uses forceful exhalation and active abdominal flapping in reducing carbon dioxide levels in the body. Regular practice of this technique instills benefits not only to the respiratory, digestive, circulatory system but to the nervous system as well.

The word Kapalbhati is a compound of two words kapal+ bhati. Kapal means forehead and bhati comes from the Sanskrit word meaning to shine. In the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, a yogic text enumerating the different practices of yogasana, pranayama and kriyas in Sanskrit verses, kapalbhati is classified as a kriya or a cleansing technique. Practice of kapalbhati clears the nasal passages in the region of the skull.

Kriyas are purificatory techniques that cleanse the inner tracts of the body. Kapalbhati kriya removes blockages that cleanse the lower respiratory tract, from the nostrils to the lungs. Kapalbhati kriya is an excellent measure against frequent attacks of cold and cough. The deep abdominal movement is useful in asthmatic attacks. Kapalbhati is a forceful exhalation technique. The initial inhalation is normal. However, the exhalation is forceful.

This cleansing technique reduces the carbon dioxide content in the body. Reduction in carbon dioxide, activates the brain cells. The practice of Kapalbhati utilizes active exhalations with flapping movements of the abdomen. The increased levels of oxygen due to reduction of carbon dioxide concentration, awakens nerve centers related to spiritual awakening.

In the practice of this cleansing technique, the practitioner is required to sit with a straight spine either in Padmasana, Vajrasana or in a well supported chair. Initially begin with an inhalation and then forcibly using the abdominal muscles, exhale. This is one strokeof kapalbhati. Repeat as many as 10-15 strokes quickly with forceful exhalation and gradually increase the count. The breath is not held at any point. Rapid and active exhalations with passive effortless inhalations achieved with abdominal flapping results in automatic suspension of breath.

This state results in the deep silencing of the mind where the mind is rendered thoughtless. Increased instances of a thoughtless state of mind results in improving the mental calm and reducing stress. This cleansing breath technique assists in removing of all foul gases including carbon dioxide from the body. The oxygen content not only increases but it is utilized efficiently by the body. The functioning of the abdominal organs improves by strengthening the intestines and improving digestion. Kapalbhati reduces acidity, flatulence and respiratory allergies.

The abdominal flapping reduces constipation and blood sugar is regulated in border line diabetic patients. Kapalbhati improves the functioning of the heart and lungs. It instills peace and tranquility in the mind where the energy centers of the body, viz. the chakras are purified. Regular practice of this technique results in an illuminous appearance on the countenance of the practitioner. The proof of the pudding is in tasting it. Similarly, the judgment on the cleansing powers of Kapalbhati can be unfolded only by practicing the technique regularly.

If you are feeling tired and sluggish, or if you are suffering from acne and other skin problems, or digestive problems, then you might require body cleansing. Body cleaning, also known as detoxification, is a form of alternative treatment, which removes many harmful substances from the body. These substances exert a negative effect on the health. Basically, detoxification refers to removing the impurities from the blood in the liver.

Types of Body Cleansing

There are different types of body cleansing to remove the toxins from the body such as colon cleanse, ion cleanse, parasite cleanse, Candida albicans cleanse and liver, gallbladder cleanse. You can use some natural methods for detoxifications such as water fasting, minimal eating, juice fasting, detox diets, herbal detoxification, detoxification baths and cleaning shakes. You can also use the cleansing supplement packages that contain vitamins, minerals, fibers and herbs.

Colon Cleanse

Colon can be called as body’s sewer system. If it gets blocked, it leads to constipation, stomach pain and digestive problems. It gives rise to weight gain, low energy level, digestion problems and many other health problems. There is a production of certain gases, which are harmful for the body. If you are facing the problems such as bad breath, constipation, bloating, frequent fatigue, low energy, candida infection, frequent mood swings, Irritable Bowel Syndrome and skin problems, then you need to consult your doctor. These signs indicate a toxic colon. The doctor cleanses the colon by inserting a pipe inside the body and flushing warm water inside the body. You can also do the colon cleansing with certain herbs and detoxification products that are available in the market. While cleansing the colon, you should replenish the good bacteria, which protect the flora balance.

Ion Footbath Detoxification

It is one of the most relaxing methods of detoxification. You have to sit on a chair and dip your feet into the water container. The toxins present in your body get attached to the positive and negative ions in the warm water that flows under your feet.

Parasite Cleanse

The parasites such as flukes, pinworms, roundworms, hookworms and tapeworms reproduce very rapidly and feed on valuable nutrients in the body. Some parasites travel through bloodstream and cause damage to other body organs such as brain and stomach. Therefore, an elimination of parasites is very essential. The parasite cleanses contain some natural herbs such as garlic, wormwood, black walnut and goldenseal.

Detox Diet

A detox or cleansing diet acts in two ways: it cleanses the body by halting the generation of toxins and it helps detoxification by flushing out the toxins present in the body. You can choose from several types of detox diets. It is very essential to eat only non-processed, organic foods. The detox diet consists of fresh, organically grown fruits and vegetables such as cauliflowers, onions, broccoli, beets, artichokes, red and green vegetables. All forms of rice such as rice crackers, rice cakes and rice pasta are included in the detox diet. Brown rice is generally more preferred. You can also use the grains including millet, quinoa, buckwheat and amaranth instead of rice. The beans such as green peas, kidney beans, adzuki beans, garbanzo beans and pinto beans are easy to digest. Flaxseed, sesame seeds, almonds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, almonds and cashews are also recommended. The preferable beverages include green tea, herbal tea, water, rice milk, lemon water, unsweetened vegetable and fruit juices, etc. You should avoid the foods such as products containing high amount of sugar, dairy products such as milk, cream, butter, etc, wheat and wheat products, coffee, alcohol and high-fat foods.

Herbal Detoxification

Various herbs can be effectively used for the body cleansing process. For the liver cleansing, the herbs such as angelica, goldenrod, chamomile, black cohosh and parsley are used. The herbs such as uva ursi, cedar berries, marshmallow, dong quai and ginger are used for the kidney cleansing. The lungs can be detoxified using Chinese ephedra, senega, mullein, LH Comfrey and slippery elm. These herbs can be used in the form of herbal tea, extracts or powders.

Benefits of Body Cleansing

People undergoing detoxification have a feeling of well-being. The most remarkable benefit of body cleansing is weight loss. During detoxification program, there is a significant reduction in food intake, which helps to lose excess calories. You will also experience a tremendous increase in your energy level after body cleaning, as your body gets rid of all the toxins and pollutants. You will notice an improved mental clarity, clear skin, improved sleep and a positive attitude towards life. Some of the long-term benefits of body cleansing are a reduced risk of environmental illnesses, reduced risk of cancer and reduction of chronic illnesses.

Effective Ways to help Body Cleansing

After the detoxification program, you can daily cleanse your body through a balanced diet, supplements and health lifestyle practices.

• Eat plenty of fibrous foods such as brown rice, fresh vegetables and fruits. Radishes, broccoli, beets, cabbage, artichokes, seaweed, chlorella and spirulina are excellent detoxifying foods.
• Cleanse and protect the liver by using the herbs such as burdock, dandelion root and milk thistle, or drinking green tea.
• An adequate intake of vitamin C helps the body to produce glutathione. This liver compound removes the toxins from the body.
• Drink at least 2 quarts of water everyday. It enhances functioning of kidneys and helps remove the toxins.
• Stay away from stress and emphasize on positive thinking.
• Use hydrotherapy by taking a hot shower, allowing the water to run on the back for about five minutes. It should be followed by cold water bath for about 30 seconds. Do it three times and get into bed for approximately 30 minutes.
• Sweating in a sauna helps eliminate the wastes from your body through perspiration.
• Dry-brush your skin, or use detox foot spas or detoxifying patches in order to remove the toxins from the pores.

Side Effects of Body Cleansing

During the body cleansing process, you may experience sore muscles, headache, insomnia, cranky moods and weakness. People undergoing detoxification feel a bit dizzy or lightheaded due to lesser amount of food intake. Anxiety and restlessness are the common reactions to body cleansing.

Although there are some side effects of body cleaning, they are temporary. It is a safe and beneficial method to ensure an improved health. However, before undergoing the detoxification process, you need to consult a physician.

Parasitic organisms in humans are often present within the intestine, stomach, colon, kidneys, liver, blood, and brain of the infected persons. Common parasites like ringworms, tapeworms, pinworms, hookworms, flukes, and protozoan extract nutrition from the host’s body, mate and reproduce and deposit eggs within the host, and release toxins, which, together with the growing numbers of parasites, usually cause a variety of health problems. If you are strong and healthy, generally you can withstand or recover from the ill effects of parasites easily, but if you already are ill then parasites can wreck havoc on your immune system and take a considerable toll of your health. Some of the serious health consequences that arise from an infestation of parasites in humans are eczema, severe stomach cramps, flatulence, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, headaches, mood swings, joint/muscle pains, anemia, and skin problems like acne.

Lack of proper basic hygiene is one of the reasons behind the presence of intestinal parasites. Parasites can also be transmitted to humans through drinking contaminated water, by eating raw or improperly cooked meat, fish, and poultry, by eating unwashed fruit and vegetables, through contact with pets and animals that are never or less frequently dewormed, and through contact with other infected persons.

If you have parasites – which can be detected by a stool and urine test – you should consider a body cleansing using a Human Parasite Cleanse. The treatment is intended to cleanse and detoxify the colon and usually lasts from 2 to 3 months. Some health practitioners advise going for a parasite cleanse twice a year, and suggest following this with a detox program each time afterwards.

Body Cleansing: Human Parasite Cleanse

There are many pharmaceutical Human Parasite Cleanse drugs available to combat parasites, but the problem with many of them seems to be that they either target a certain part of the body or only target parasites at a certain developmental stage. Most parasites are able to migrate from one part of the body to another, and they have enough survival sense to do just that when faced with a vermifuge (a parasite cleansing treatment). Or a parasite cleanse may kill off eggs and leave the adults unharmed, in which case the adults will mate and reproduce and deposit more eggs. Or the medication may kill off the adults and leave the eggs to hatch. The parasite cleansing medication may also be for only one type of parasite, which is of little use if more than one type of intestinal parasites are present.

Another thing about parasiticides is that they are generally very toxic and can bring on some unpleasant side effects if not taken in moderately small doses. Rather than just destroying the parasites inside you, you could end up becoming ill with the medication.

Natural or herbal parasite cleansing remedies seem to be as much or more effective than the pharmaceutical medications, and, on the more positive front, usually have minimal or no toxic side-effects. It is a good idea to give the natural remedies a try before trying the pharmaceutical ones.

Human Parasite Cleanse Natural Remedies:

The most commonly used natural parasite cleansing remedy contains a combination of Black or Green Walnut Hull, Worm Wood, and Common Cloves.

The three major herbs – Black Walnut Hull, Worm Wood, and Common Cloves can help kill 100 kinds of parasites. Combine all three. The first two will kill the adult parasites and the last will kill off the eggs. This remedy is known to be effective against over a hundred parasites.
Other natural herbs that can effective in combating intestinal parasites are Garlic, Ginger, Gentian Root, Pink Root, Quassia Stem, Male Fern, and Wood Betony Herb. Spices like Cloves and Cinnamon are also effective in killing intestinal parasites in humans. Using spices in your daily meals can pretty much deter the proliferation of parasites. Other natural remedies include eating foods like pumpkin seeds, cayenne pepper and yoghurt, all of which have anti-parasitic qualities.

Whether you go for a natural remedy or a pharmaceutical one, it will help to fast shortly before you start the treatment and to avoid eating meat and sweets during the treatment.
