Kunjal Kriya Therapy at Revine Naturopathy
Kunjal Kriya, also known as Vaman Dhauti, is a traditional yogic cleansing practice described within the Shatkarma practices of Hatha Yoga. It involves the controlled cleansing of the upper digestive tract and is traditionally practiced under the guidance of a trained yoga or naturopathy professional.
At Revine Naturopathy, Kunjal Kriya is offered as a supervised cleansing practice based on an individual’s health condition and suitability. The therapy is intended to support digestive comfort and the traditional yogic approach to internal cleansing.
Kunjal Kriya should not be performed as a routine self-treatment. Because the practice involves induced vomiting, proper assessment and professional supervision are important for safety.
Benefits of Kunjal Kriya
When appropriately selected and supervised, Kunjal Kriya may be used as part of a holistic wellness program. Traditional yoga practices associate it with cleansing and digestive support.
Potential benefits include:
- Supports traditional upper digestive tract cleansing.
- May help promote digestive comfort.
- May support a feeling of lightness after appropriate cleansing.
- Can be incorporated into selected yogic cleansing programs.
- May help prepare the body for certain yoga and breathing practices.
- Supports a holistic approach to digestive and overall wellness.
The benefits of Kunjal Kriya are based largely on traditional yogic practice, and scientific evidence for claims about “detoxification” is limited.
Procedure of Kunjal Kriya at Revine Naturopathy
At Revine Naturopathy, Kunjal Kriya is performed only after assessing the individual’s health condition and suitability for the practice.
1. Initial Assessment
Our practitioner first evaluates your health condition, medical history and current symptoms to determine whether Kunjal Kriya is appropriate for you.
2. Preparation
The practice is performed under professional guidance with appropriate preparation. The practitioner explains the process and ensures that the individual is comfortable before beginning.
3. Guided Cleansing Practice
The cleansing process is performed using the method recommended by the trained practitioner. The practice involves drinking an appropriate amount of lukewarm water followed by controlled expulsion as part of the traditional Kunjal Kriya technique.
4. Post-Therapy Care
After the procedure, adequate rest and appropriate hydration are advised. The practitioner may also recommend suitable food and lifestyle guidance depending on the individual’s condition.
Safety & Precautions
Kunjal Kriya is not suitable for everyone. Because it involves induced vomiting and physical strain, it should only be undertaken after appropriate professional assessment.
People with certain conditions, including heart problems, uncontrolled blood pressure, ulcers, hernia, pregnancy or recent abdominal surgery, may need to avoid this practice.
At Revine Naturopathy, the therapy should therefore be performed under the supervision of an appropriately trained practitioner rather than attempted independently.
