A disease-free system should be the starting ground for yogasanas and pranayama. There are six specific cleansing techniques, known as Shat Kriyas, which eliminate impurities and help cure many ailments.
This is a process of cleansing the interior of the stomach. Drink four to six glasses of tepid
water, with a little salt added to it, early in the morning on an empty stomach. Then stand
up, bend forward, insert the middle and index fingers of the right hand into the mouth until
they touch the uvulva. Tickle it until you feel a vomiting sensation. The saline water thus
ejected will bring up bile and other toxic matter with it. Repeat the process till all the water
is vomited out.
This should be done once a week or as and when necessary.
It is beneficial for cleansing the stomach in cases of excessive bile, constipation, and
gastric troubles.
Persons suffering from hyperacidity should perform kunjal with unsalted
water.
It gives relief from headaches, nervous weakness, chronic cold, cough and
asthma.
It should not be practised by those suffering from high blood pressure, ulcers and
heart trouble.

Isometric exercise means that you push against something that doesn’t move, such as a wall. Thirty years ago, most weightlifters and athletes is sports requiring strength used isometric training to make themselves stronger. Athletes don’t use isometric training much anymore. The strength gained through performing isometric contractions is only within 20 degrees of the angle you hold. On the other hand, when you lift weights, you become strong through a wide range of motion. Isometrics cause your blood pressure to rise higher than the other methods of strength training. If you have weak blood vessels or heart trouble, you can rupture a blood vessel or develop an irregular heart beat.
According to Dr. John D. Fair, Chairman of the Department of History at Auburn University, the popularity of isometrics was the result of the success of some weightlifters who took synthetic male hormones called anabolic steroids and then claimed that their isometric exercises made them strong. They claimed that they were doing a revolutionary new training method of pushing against bars that didn’t move. The steroids made them stronger by helping them to recover faster from tough workouts so they could do more work. The only stimulus to make a muscle stronger is to exercise that muscle against resistance. You can lift heavy weights, push against special strength machines and push against something that doesn’t move, such as a wall or bar attached to the ground. Isometrics are not used much any more, but the steroids are still used, even though they are banned by most sport authorities.
