What is Kunjal Kriya?


Did you know that approximately 70% of the human immune system relies on a healthy digestive system? This
means that the better your immune system functions, the better your overall health will be. To maintain good
health, it’s essential to ensure that your digestive system operates efficiently. Kunjal Kriya, a detoxifying yoga
technique, can help strengthen our digestive system, contributing to overall wellness.

Enhancing the digestive system is one of the most significant steps to improving your health. Despite increased
health consciousness in modern times, many people experience deterioration in their digestive health. Kunjal
Kriya is one of the purification techniques of Hatha Yoga, primarily practiced for cleansing the Esophagus and
Stomach. It is also known as Vaman Dhauti.

Kunjal Kriya is a technique for cleaning the digestive system (from the stomach to the mouth). It includes
drinking lukewarm, salty water until the stomach gets full and then intentionally vomiting it through the mouth.

Several animals like cats, dogs, tigers, cows, etc. utilize this technique to vomit undigested food. Most of us
must have seen the cat eating the grass when they ate something they could not digest. This practice prevents
the accumulation of toxins in their bodies. Thus, it is a natural method of cleansing and copied from the
animals. Home Teacher Training

Why is Kunjal Kriya important?
Modern people face various problems related Blogs Images
to digestion, Contact
like acidity, indigestion, gas, etc. There is a reason
behind it. After eating the food, it remains in the stomach for some time. In the stomach, it gets mixed with
digestive juice so it can easily be absorbed into the intestine. But tiny particles of food remain undigested in the
lining of the stomach. These particles stay there until our next meal. When we take another meal, these particles
get mixed with fresh food, which can contaminate and poison the system, causing acidity. Kunjal Kriya helps us
remove these tiny particles from the stomach lining.

Procedure
To perform this technique, all we need is just water and a little bit of salt.

To prepare the solution, take one-liter water. However, depending on your capacity, you can take one and a half
liter.

Add 1 or 2 teaspoons of salt per liter of water. There is no particular proportion about quantity, and it’s up to you.
You can add more salt or less too.

While performing this technique, the best position is just standing and hunching your upper body in the forward
position. i.e., Keep the trunk and head in a horizontal place. This position ensures the free flow of water from our
stomach.
