First you need to boil 2 litre or approximately 10 glasses of water. Add salt to it. The water should be cooled down to your body temperature and it should taste like tears. When you get up in the morning take 2 to 3 glasses of this water or drink as per your capacity.
Now practice six asanas. These asana need to be performed 6 times each, in a dynamic motion. Remember, if in between asana, you feel like going to the loo and evacuate your bowel. Then feel free to do it immediately and you start again from where you left.
Six Asanas for detoxifying your Intestine:
The asana are:
1) Talasana-
Keeping your legs 1 foot apart. Stand straight inhale and raise your both hands straight from front to head. Along with your heels raising upwards. Hold your breath for about six counts. And slowly come back by rotating your both arms from behind to a starting position. Talasana stretches the abdomen area giving a tissues of digestive system a good stretch.
2) Variation of Konasana-
Interlace your fingers and raise the arms above your head. And now inhale and gentaly bend to your left. Do not move to your pelvic region. Only the spine should be bending. It massages your abdominal muscles. Repeat it on the other side.
3) Vakrasana-
Bring your feet together. Inhale and raise both the hands in front of you. Now, exhale and twist completely to your right. Slowly come back and then twist to your left. Do it for 6 times. Vakrasana gives a nice twist to your abdomen.
4) Kati Chakrasana-
This is another twisting Asana. Your legs should be 2 and half feet or shoulder width apart. Put your right palm on the left shoulder from the front. And now bend your left arm from the elbow and take it behind to reach to your shoulder upwards. Now, exhale and twist to your left. Repeat the same thing on the other side. And then the whole set 6 times. The mid vertebral column is getting a nice twist with this Asana.
5) Triyaka Bhujangasana-
This is a twisting variant of classic Bhujangasana. All you have to do is lie down on your stomach. The prone position will provide pressure on your abdomen. Keep your palms on the floor near your chest. And inhaling raise your head up. Now, turn your head to left and try to look back at the toe. Repeat the same at the right side. Looking at the toe and come back. Twisting gives up appropriate massage to your digestive organs.
6) Udarakarshan-
This is the Asana for abdominal compression. Here, you are sitting in Vajrasana. Exhale and bend your left knee in such a way that the sole is placed on the mat. And the knee is touching the chest. Try to place the sole as close to your body as possible and now twist to your left side. Holds for 6 counts and repeat the same on the other side.
People suffering from knee pain and have undergone knee replacement have to skip this Asana.
As we told earlier each Asana should be repeated six times. Once you are done with Asana. Drink 2 glasses of water and again repeat the Asana. In between evacuate the bowel when you feel like and resume the Asana from where you left. While you evacuate, initially the bowel will be normal which would eventually turn into foggy yellow liquid and then into a clear water. Once you start evacuating clear water from the anus. Then you have to stop the whole process.
Now, remember one thing every human is different, every body type is different. Some may be able to evacuat very easily. But for other evacuation may not be possible. Do not put any pressure. The salt water and other filth will be remove from the system via urine. A lot of energy goes in this process. Once done you have to rest properly in shavasana. But make sure you do not go to sleep. The whole process is new to your body. So, you might feel cold or you might have headache. So don't sleep.
Now, understand what to eat. The First thing you should eat after the kriya is khichadi. Khichadi should be made with Yellow moong lentil, moong dal and rice. And clarified butter that is ghee. And pinch of turmeric. It will restore the digestive system.
Clarified butter will have a thin coating over a intenstinal wall until it produces new lining. Rice gives digestible carbohydrates that produces mucous which protects alimentary canal until the new lining covers the wall. Lastly, the lentils will provide bulk to keep the Digestive tract. It would provide stretched and will also help in any kind of cramp. It also gives digestible protein offering proper nutrition. Khichadi will resume the normal peristalsis and avoiding any kind of constipation, diarrhea and indigestion.
Again take rest but o not take sleep for 3 hours. After the first meal your second meal also should be Khichadi but you have to have it after 6 hoursof the first meal. Then you can resume eating as per hunger but you have to strictly stick to food like boiled vegetables without spices and onion, garlic.
You should avoid even oil, fruits, buttermilk, lemon water and diluted milk. These are the kind of food that you have to eat for minimum of 2 days. Only then we can say that you have detoxed your digestive system to it's fullest. Other kriyas that you can do to rest are makarasana and Nishpanda bhava. Try to save energy by talking less and engaging minimum in heavy activities. After 2 days on the third day you will feel your energy really boosting. You will be very active throughout the day andfood your productive level will also go very high.
After detoxifying your body try to binge less on oily, spicy and junk food. Focus on eating a Healthy and fibrous food. This kriya needs to be practiced. Once in 6 months once in a year and not too often but at any given point in time you are feeling unwell,Stop it right away and let your body relax. You try to Detox your body and stay fit.
