Laghu Shankha Prakshalana is a shorter and simplified form of the traditional Shankha Prakshalana practice.
The practice involves drinking appropriately prepared warm saline water followed by a specific sequence of yoga movements. These movements are traditionally used to help move the water through the digestive tract and encourage bowel evacuation.
Unlike the complete Shankha Prakshalana practice, the Laghu version is shorter and generally involves a less extensive cleansing process.
At SNDH Care, the practice is conducted under professional supervision rather than being recommended as a self-treatment.
