HEAL PILES WITH ASHVINI MUDRA

DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

Since the anal region has relatively less blood supply, the exercise of pelvic muscles viz. anal contraction and relaxation is likely to improve theblood supply and health of the pelvic region.

This exercise is also called ASHVINI MUDRA. To prevent or heal Ano-rectal and genito-urinary problems such as piles, fistula, anal fissure, proctalgia fugux (a very painful condition of anal region) one can try ASHVINI MUDRA. However this does not prove that the exercise of anal contractions

alone can prevent or cure these problems.

You have to concede the importance of other measures such as drinking adequate water, including fiber in diet, moderation in life style, regular exercise and surgery when other conservative measures fail.

But the benefits of this simple, inexpensive and safe measure of anal contractions for about five minutes every day have to be studied, and tried in terms of preventing or treating ano-rectal and genitourinary problems.
