Six-karmas of Shat-karma in Satkarma Clinic & Research Centre situated at Patanjali Yogpeeth:

Gajakarani or Kunjara Kriya : The activity by virtue of which inflamed dosha particularly kaph & pitta are driven out from whole body & stomach through mouth by using water, is known as Gajakarani or Kunjara Kriya.

Jal Neti : This activity eliminates Sat-karma disbalance of Kaphaj dosha & subsequently diseases generated from it, permanently. It is helpful in the treatment of cold, cough, sinusitis, asthma, chronic rhinitis and coryza leading to a pure mind. Salty lukewarm water used in Jal Neti while purifying inner nostrils, cures migraine, eye disorders, insomnia & hypertension etc.

Sutra Neti : This activity is very fruitful to cure incurable disease like choronic rhinitis, bronchitis & coryza etc. Thin rope made of cotton threads or catheter is used to clean up nostrils and throat resulting ENT problems removed.

Sankh Dhouti or Shankha Prakshalan : The shape of our intestines is like a conch shell. Purification of the conch shell shaped intestine is called sankha purification or varisar action. This process is capable of curing very serious and chronic disease. There is hardly and disease including stomach problems, obesity, piles, hypertension, diabetes, and diseases related to tissue elements, which cannot be benefited by undertaking this activity. It has been found in Yoga camps that half of the benefits are achieved due to the other yogasanas and activities and the remaining half benefit is achieved due to this process. We clean our clothes everyday. If we do not wash our clothes even for one day the get dirty. Our abdomen contains around 32 feet long intestines, which are never cleaned even once in our lifetime. As a result, a subtle layer of toxic and contaminated matter accumulates on its inner walls. Due to the formation of this dirty layer, absorption and secretion of juices does not take place properly, resulting in dyspepsia, indigestion, acidic belches, etc. Putrefaction of this matter causes stinking in the stomach. It causes gastric trouble. The juices are not produced properly. When the main instrument gets deformed, the subsidiary organs like stomach, pancreas, etc. are also affected and cause different types of diseases.Our body is an instrument. A great wonder out of the many wonders of the world, it is the greatest surprise as to who has created this unique instrument? Just as we undertake complete servicing and overhauling of the musical instruments, motor car, watch and other machines, which enables them to work properly, in the same way, we should undertake servicing and overhauling of our own bodily instrument, so that it remains healthy, long-living and strong.

Trataka : Incurable diseases like eye disorders, less concentration, insomnia and epilepsy are successfully treated shathkarma_img5by this activity of Shat-karma. Gaze/concentration is advised on a diya of desi ghee or a candle fitted on a stand, which is in turn, helpful in eardicating concerned diseases from our body.

Yoga-nidra (Savasana) : It is quite useful in treatment of incurable diseases like hypertension, C.A.D., insomnia & other mental disorders. Healthy mind is prelude for a healthy body. Synchronizing of body, mind & spirit in the process of Yoga-nidra, helps curing fatal diseases.
