• Avoid food items that produce dosha imbalance like dry food, hard to digest. Because dosha imbalance aggravates the symptoms.
• Consume easily digestible food items, gruels, goat’s milk

YOGA FOR RECTAL PROLAPSE

• Nadi shuddi pranayam

The patient needs to be seated in a meditative posture with the head and spine erect, with the body relaxed. The patient has to close his one nostril (e.g. left nostril if using the right hand and vice versa) with the thumb and exhale completely through the other nostril. Again, he will have to breathe in deeply through the other nostril while the opposite nostril is still closed with the thumb.

 

• The practices of shatkriya or yogic cleansing techniques purify the body and prevent digestive tract problems.
