Abstract
1. Background and Introduction:
The physical body is consistently throwing off waste materials through its natural mechanisms
via four organs. Kidneys eliminate acid and other waste products, which come through the blood.
Sweat glands remove waste materials through the skin as perspiration, which contains toxins.
Liver and large intestines eliminates toxins in type of undigested food and faeces. Lungs
eliminates CO2 other gases. We throw away impurities of the body through various openings by
means of perspiration, urine, excretion and breathing. Yet this excretory system of the body is
loaded with disease carrying poisons because of modern life style (i.e. lack of exercise, irregular
or excessive food intake together with fast food, indulging in habit disorders like smoking,
alcohol, etc) which ends up in physical and physiological disorders (Disorders, 2019).
All the cleansing techniques are figured out just opposite to natural action of the body. To
illustrate, during practice of dhauti, the practitioner controls natural force of vomiting and natural
force of cough and sneeze subsequently. These techniques don't seem to be only
‘unnatural’ during this sense but also ‘unnatural’ because the techniques are voluntary performed
while controlling natural and involuntary processes. Regular and steady practice of the cleansing
techniques ultimately helps not only to stop diseases and keep the body and mind healthy, but
also gain voluntary control over involuntary process (autonomous nervous system) of the body
(Disorders, 2019).
It is an instrument for the measuring energy of the normal person. The GDV (Gas Discharge
Visualization) leads main effective rules it indicates a human health problem, better condition of
health, stress levels, depression level, altered state of consciousness, chakra measurement,
monitoring energy state, energy testing etc (K. Korotkov, 2014).
2. Objectives:
The objective of this study is to find out the statistical changes in level of Stress, Energy,
Balance, and Chakras in healthy persons before and after Vaman Dhauti practice though GDV.
The hypothesis is that Vaman Dhauti may improve overall subtle energy pattern.
3. Material and methods:
Thirty four participants both male and female, age range between 20 to 40 years were screened
according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Every participant attended the study for 2 times as
member of control and experimental group. On the first day, pre-post measurement was done
with intervention (Vaman Dhauti followed by Deep Relaxation Technique). On the next day
again pre-post measurements were done with same participants without Vaman Dhauti, only
Deep Relaxation Technique was given to them.
4. Result:
Experiment group showed significant improvement in all the variables (all p-values <0.05) and
most of the p-values <0.01 showing very significant improvement, except one variable sahasara
ca (p-value =0.103). Whereas control group did not show any significant effect in most of the
variables but showed significant improvement in variables stress (p-value =0.002), balance (p value <0.001), svadhisthana ca (p-value =0.002), anahata ca (p-value =0.019) and sahasara ca (p value =0.046).
5. Conclusion:
The results of present study demonstrated that there was significant improvement in the
participants because of practice of Vaman dhauti followed by DRT in all of the variables except
one i.e. sahasara ca. Findings of the study suggested that Vaman Dhauti followed by relaxation
can improve energy field of digestive organs, chakra energy and alignment and reduce stress.
Also, there was significant improvement in some of the variables in the participants when only
DRT practiced.
