Satkarma

 Sarkarma: Before going to start practicing the limbs of yoga, like Asana, Pranayama etc. it is required, not only to clean the external organs of the body and the surrounding, but also to purify the internal organs by expelling the waste and toxic materials produced in the body due to digestion of food and metabolism. In order to clean the internal organs six purificatory processes have been prescribed in Hatha Yoga. They are called ‘Satkarmas’. The Satkarmas are– (1) DHAUTI, for cleansing the oesophagus and the stomach; (2) BASTI, for cleansing the alimentary canal from the large intestine to the anus; (3) NETI, for cleansing the nasal passages and the sinus; (4) NAULI, for massaging and cleansing the small and large intestine; (5) KAPALBHATI, for cleansing the sinus region; and (6) TRATAK, for cleansing the inner part of the ocular region and to improve eye-sight.
