navel displacement / adjustment, Gulshan Kumar <gulsoni@y...>

[Guest guest]

> I want to have some information regarding navel (nabhi / solar

plexus) displacement and its adjustment through manipulation / self

help yogasanas. Could some one help me in this regard?

 

Dear Gulshan,

 

Displacement of navel/nabhi chakra is present when sudden loose

motions or constipation develops. It is generally result of lifting a

heavy weight when one is standing in incorrect pose. People who are

vulnerable to this problem often face it. The ligaments corresponding

to portion of large intestine, when weaken, this dificulty is

experienced.

 

While most experienced Vaidyas correct nabhi displacement by just

inserting thumb or first finger inside and moving it towards head or

legs of the patient depending on the requirement, such a technique is

difficult for a patient to adopt on himself or for a relative to

carry out. Here a simple method is given which will correct the

displacement, and will do nothing if pains/loose motions are due to

different reason.

 

Lie down on bed. give a light massage of oil (any oil will do) in

region around navel. Light a oil/ghee lamp, whose size should not

exceed one inch by one inch base, 2 inches height. If oil lamp is not

available, use a short piece of candle, stuck to a coin not exceeding

1 inch by 1 inch size. Light the lamp and put it on navel, centering

on navel. NOw take a water glass (300 ml) and put on the lamp, such

that no air flow to lamp is possible. Apply light pressure to avoid

leakage of air inside. The lamp will extinguish due to lack of air

and the vaccum resulting from this will make a tight seal between

glass edge and skin. Now if you pull glass away from the nozzle in

vertical direction, the skin of stomach will also get stuck to inside

of glass and will get lifted. Pull with large force, and after few

seconds, the air leakge will release the skin back.

In this process, the displacement of Nabhi-Chakra gets corrected.

This experiment can be done by patient himself, without anybody's

help and is safe.

 

Precautions:

 

The oil quantity in lamp should be very little, else hot oil may

spill on the sensitive skin of the stomach.

Transparent glass is desirable instead of stainless steel glass.

However, steel glass produces better seal.
