Cleansing techniques
Jala Dhauti or Gaja Karani
Jala Dhauti means a technique to cleanse the stomach with salt water. This helps keep the digestive tract clean and cleanses the body of acidity. This technique is also known as Gaj Karn. Gaj means elephant. When an elephant experiences nausea in the abdomen, it reaches the trunk deep into its gullet and sucks out the contents of the stomach. The technique is therefore demonstrated to us by nature. It helps relieve nausea when there is high acidity in the stomach or when one has eaten something indigestible or bad. This technique may also relieve food allergies and Asthma.
