Do not sleep straight on your back. During summers, wash your hands and feet with cool water before going to bet. It will induce good sleep an

JAL KUNJAL, JALA KUNJAL, KUNJAL KRIYA, THE STOMACH WASH This technique is for cleanliness and efficiency of the upper digestive system (pharynx, esophagus, stomach) as well as the respiratory system (pharynx, trachea, bronchi). How can we clean out the stomach and lungs you ask? The yogis invented a way of simply back-flushing the stomach, just like Jala Neti does for the nose. The yogis maintain that every morning one should flush the stomach, starting off with a clean digestive furnace, to remove any remnant food and to replace the mucus lining.
