Take a piece of thread that is free of knots, smooth it with ghee (clarified butter). Place one end of the thread into one nostril and, closing the other nostril with one finger, inhale through the open nostril and exhale through the mouth. By repeating this process the thread will be inhaled into the throat. Gentle pull the thread, repeat with the opposite nostril. Then it will be possible to place the thread in one nostril and draw it out through the other.
Probiotics are live microbial organisms that are naturally present in the digestive tract and vagina. They are thought to be beneficial and are referred to as “friendly” bacteria.
Some of the ways they are thought to promote health include suppressing the growth of potentially harmful bacteria, improving immune function, enhancing the protective barrier of the digestive tract, and helping to produce vitamin K.
Good intestinal flora helps prevent bloating, gas, and yeast overgrowth by controlling the pH level, or acidity, of the intestines.
Friendly microbes also help prevent disease in several ways. They deprive invaders of nutrients and secrete acids that less friendly microbes can’t tolerate well. They also reinforce the mucosal barrier of the intestines, which block dangerous pathogens, toxins, and allergens and helps the immune system “learn” which ones aren’t safe.
Given a ready supply of vegetables, legumes, and whole grains, good bacteria live long and prosper. Polyphenols, found in foods like garlic, green tea and ginseng, are also helpful in fostering friendly microbes.
