Content: NITHYA KRIYA: RESTORING HATHA YOGA TO THE WORLD

Content: Care and Cure for Diseases and Disorders

Content: Nithya Kriya is a series of healing yogic processes revealed by Paramahamsa Nithyananda (www.nithyananda.org/nithya-kriyas). Nithya Kriya is unique in that the knowledge and techniques are drawn from the most authentic sacred yogic scriptures of India, while the specific combinations are expressed from the personal experience of Paramahamsa Nithyananda.

Content: Himself an established yogi, Paramahamsa Nithyananda has trained under powerful yogis and mystics right from childhood, and has been the practitioner of mystical yogic sciences that have practically disappeared from modern yoga texts.

Content: Why Nithya Kriya?

Content: Today, the world is witnessing an outburst of yoga schools and teachers, both eastern and western, who offer all kinds of physical postures, new styles, aerobics, breathing exercises in all kinds of combinations... While you may some physical workout out of it, you may never understand the true reason and purpose of practicing specific postures and breathing techniques, let alone experience it is supposed to lead you

Content: 3

Content: to. Nithya Kriya aims to deliver and preserve the original yogic practices, born of millennia of research and

Content: development and the inestimable personal contribution of innumerable enlightened yogis who gave their lives

Content: to enrich the world with this science. According the teaching methods laid out by legendary yogis

Content: like Gorakhnatha and Matsyendranatha, the individual asanas and pranayama techniques are sacred and must

Content: not be tampered with, while the combinations of techniques required to produce the desired effect are to be

Content: received by the learner form his own personal guru (Hatha Yoga Pradipika). True to the Vedic culture, these

Content: fathers of modern yoga left the door wide open for continuous updating of this ancient science.

Content: Scriptural roots of Nithya Kriya

Content: Nithya Kriya is soundly anchored in the sacred yoga scriptures, including the legendary Patanjali Yoga Sutras,

Content: as well as the three classic texts that form the base of yoga - Hatha Yoga Pradipika,Gheranda Samhita and

Content: Shiva Samhita. Patanjali Yoga Sutras is the foundational text of yoga, written by the father of yoga, the

Content: enlightened sage Patanjali. This esoteric yet highly practical text, based on Saankhya Yoga, is said to date back

Content: to the 2nd century BC, although it is believed to be far more ancient. Patanjali Yoga Sutras emphasize the

Content: value of yoga as a lifestyle, through ashtanga yoga (8-limbed yoga) consisting of yama & niyama(personal and

Content: social disciplines), asana (postures), pranayama (controlled breathing), prathyahara (withdrawal of the

Content: senses), dhaarana (one-pointed awareness), dhyaana (meditation) and Samadhi (oneness or non-dualistic

Content: consciousness).

Content: Hatha Yoga Pradipika is a 15th century Sanskrit hatha yoga text, written by Swami Swatmarama, a disciple of

Content: Swami Gorakhnatha. The book is dedicated to Adinatha or Lord Shiva, who is said to have revealed the secrets

Content: of hatha yoga to his divine consort Devi Parvati. Hatha Yoga Pradipika contains four

Content: major upadeshaas (teachings), which reveal the correct understanding and practice of asanas, pranayama,

Content: chakras, bandhas, kriyas, shakti, nadis, mudras and kundalini.

Content: 4

Content: Gheranda Samhita is a highly practical and effective yoga manual said to have been taught by the sage Gheranda to Chanda Kapali. Gheranda Sahmita advocates a sevenfold yoga,including shatkarma(cleansing processes), asana (postures), pranayama (controlled breathing), mudra (finger locks), pratyahara (mind control), dhyana (meditation) and samadhi (the fruit of all the above).

Content: Shiva Samhita is a complex text that spans the entire spectrum of human experience, from health to liberation. Starting with a treatise on spiritual liberation, this text goes on to reveal 84 beneficialasanas, pranayama, meditation and visualization techniques, mantras, subtle energy channels (nadis), kundalini and the importance of the guru on the path.

Content: The other texts that Nithya Kriya draws from include the Kumbhaka Paddhati of Raghuvira, Trisikhibrahmanopanishad, Yogakundalayupanishad, Yogachudamanyupanishad and Yoga Taravali,JogaPradipika, Yogasana Mala Sachitra, among others.

Content: Evolution of Nithya Kriya

Content: Although human nature remains essentially the same across the ages, the human body and mind is hardly what it was when the foundational texts of yoga were written, some of them over twenty centuries ago. Seemingly extraneous factors like workplace stress, a hurried lifestyle and changing social realities are having a real and profound influence over even such basic processes as the way our cells function or our brain processes information. Therefore, any technique that has to work for today's individual has to be evolved for and tested on the kind of body-mind that it aims to benefit.

Content: The evolution of Nithya Kriya follows a threefold process:

Content: Every single technique evolved as part of Nithya Kriya is compiled and personally tested by Paramahamsa Nithyananda, who brings to the scriptural wisdom his own unique understanding of the complex equations of body, breath and mind in the modern individual.

Content: Once the technique has been perfected, it is tested on a select group of disciples over a period of one mandala (21 days), and feedback is received which is then incorporated in the kriya.

Content: Through the process of parallel testing, several kriyas are tested on different groups over the same period.

Content: For healing kriyas for particular ailments, testing is done on people who suffer from that ailment, as well as a control group.

Content: Once the kriya has been sufficiently tested, it is released to a group of 1000-2000 followers and yoga practitioners from diverse cultures and age groups around the world who undertake to voluntarily practice the kriya under the direct guidance of Paramahamsa Nithyananda, either in His physical presence, or through two-way video conferencing.

Content: Individuals suffering from a particular disease practice the kriya for a period of one mandala (21 days) and revert with feedback.

Content: The requisite changes are made and the modified version is further tested.

Content: For each ailment, both 'care' and 'cure' kriyas are designed.

Content: For instance, the NithyaKriya for Hypertension Care is a preventive kriya for healthy individuals, while the NithyaKriya for Hypertension Cure is aimed at benefiting individuals who already suffer from hypertension.

Content: In this way, each Nithya Kriya goes through

Content: several cycles of stringent testing before it takes its final form. Even so, in keeping with the Vedic practice of

Content: continuous learning and enrichment, feedback is invited from anyone who can contribute positively to the

Content: evolution of Nithya Kriya as a holistic solution for body, mind and being for the modern individual.

Content: Removing the root of disease

Content: Nithyananda states that this contribution has the potential to revolutionize health care. In addition, thekriya

Content: techniques have never before been assembled so specifically for particular disorders.Each kriya technique

Content: has complete, guided, step-by-step instructions, including photos and videos empowering any individual to

Content: find a pathway to health and well-being.

Content: The kriyas are designed to heal the body and break the root cause of the disease.

Content: For example, Nithyananda says there are three factors involved in the cause of diabetes:

Content: Eating with a lack of awareness.

Content: Eating food that does not support your health.

Content: How you eat your food - what kinds of thoughts you're having while eating.

Content: "All three cause the food pattern of an individual, which in turn, is responsible for diabetes. With the practice

Content: of the kriya, not only will your diabetes be healed, but the pattern and root cause of diabetes will also be

Content: destroyed." said Nithyananda.

Content: The Power of Initiation (deeksha)

Content: While extolling the benefits of disciplined practice, yoga texts do not hesitate to declare that the results equivalent to 12 years of strenuous sadhana (spiritual disciplines) can be granted by the guru in a moment to a disciple who is open to it. While theoretically, the entire kriya may be assembled and taught by anybody with sufficient knowledge of the yoga scriptures, the benefits of practicing the same kriya in the presence of a highly evolved being are simply inestimable. This is especially so when participants are literally ‘opened’ to the technique by the highly revered process of deeksha or initiation by the Master. The highly scientific yet mystical experience of deeksha can be explained to some extent by the principle of resonance. Just as a bowl of water will begin to hum when struck with a metal rod at the right frequency, an energy adept can subtly force the practitioner’s energy into higher spiritual frequencies by the sheer pressure of his own positive vibration. At such moments, the body and mind lose their natural resistance and awaken to their own highest possibility of health and wellbeing.

Content: Harnessing the Kundalini energy for self-healing

Content: A significant distinction of Nithya Kriya is the safe and scientific awakening of the Kundalini energy in the practioner. Kundalini is the tremendous potential energy that lies latent in each of us. Kundalini can be described as every individual's hotline to the infinite cosmic energy. Once awakened by appropriate yogic practices and the guidance and grace of the guru, Kundalini showers a host of blessings on the practitioner, including a big boost in energy levels, physical well-being, the falling away of negative mental patterns, true inner fulfillment and a deep connection to the universal Source.

Content: Miraculous healing of diabetes using NithyaKriya- people share experiences

Content:

1. "I have never seen something reduce my sugar level so rapidly. This is extraordinary!" says Ricardo Boreiki from Houston, Texas, USA. This 63 year-old man suffering from diabetes for 33 years experienced miraculous healing after using NithyaKriya. Ricardo Boreiki says that he had a blood sugar level between 300 - 400 and using 45 units of insulin daily, and now his sugar level is steady at 85 and uses only 5 units of insulin in the mornings since he started practicing NithyaKriya. You can watch his sharing of the miracle on the below video ( 4.30 mins. onwards)

Content: 2) ParimalaParamanathan from Toronto, Canada - "I had diabetes for last 16 years, it was very high for past 3 years - more than 3 times the normal value. I attended the Daibeteskriya one-week workshop at Toronto Nithyananda Vedic temple. I was amazed, my sugar levels have come down to normal and my doctor has reduced my medication to half. My mind and body have improved!"

Content: CARE FOR ACHROMATOPSIA

Content: Disease Description

Content: Achromatopsia (ACHM), is a medical syndrome that exhibits symptoms relating to at least five separate individual disorders. Although the term may refer to acquired disorders such as color agnosia and cerebral achromatopsia, it typically refers to an autosomal recessive congenital color vision disorder, the inability to perceive color and to achieve satisfactory visual acuity at high light levels (typically exterior daylight).

Content: The syndrome is frequently noticed first in children around six months of age by their photophobic activity and/or their nystagmus. The nystagmus becomes less noticeable with age but the other symptoms of the syndrome become more relevant as school age approaches. Visual acuity and stability of the eye motions generally improve during the first 6–7 years of life (but remain near 20/200). The congenital forms of the disorder are considered stationary and do not worsen with age.

Content: CARE FOR ADDICTION

Content: Disease Description

Content: Historically, addiction has been defined as physical and/or psychological dependence on psychoactive substances (for example alcohol, tobacco, heroin, caffeine and other drugs) that cross the blood-brain barrier once ingested, temporarily altering the chemical milieu of the brain. Broadly, addiction is defined as the continued use of a mood altering addictive substance or behaviors despite adverse consequences associated with it.

Content: Some psychology professions mean 'addiction' to include abnormal psychological dependency on such things as gambling, video games, food, sex, pornography, computers, internet, work, exercise, watching TV self-injury and shopping.

Content: It is thought that these behavior activities may produce beta-endorphins in the brain, which makes the person feel "high." Some experts suggest that if a person continues to engage in the activity to achieve this feeling of well-being and euphoria, he/she may get into an addictive cycle.

Content: In so doing, he/she becomes physically addicted to his/her own brain chemicals, leading to a continuation of the behavior, even though it may have negative health or social consequences.

Content: CARE FOR AGEING

Content: Disease Description

Content: Aging in humans refers to a multidimensional process of physical, psychological, and social change.

Content: In biology, senescence is the state or process of aging. Cellular senescence is a phenomenon where isolated cells demonstrate a limited ability to divide in culture. The process of aging is characterized by the declining ability to respond to stress, increasing homeostatic imbalance and increased risk of disease.

Content: Some researchers (specifically biogerontologists) are treating aging as a disease. As genes that have an effect on aging are discovered, aging is increasingly being regarded in a similar fashion to other genetically influenced "conditions", potentially "treatable."

Content: Roughly 100,000 people worldwide die each day of age-related causes.

Content: CURE FOR AGING

Content: Disease Description

Content: Aging in humans refers to a multidimensional process of physical, psychological, and social change.

Content: In biology, senescence is the state or process of aging. Cellular senescence is a phenomenon where isolated cells demonstrate a limited ability to divide in culture. The process of aging is characterized by the declining ability to respond to stress, increasing homeostatic imbalance and increased risk of disease.

Content: Some researchers (specifically biogerontologists) are treating aging as a disease. As genes that have an effect on aging are discovered, aging is increasingly being regarded in a similar fashion to other genetically influenced "conditions", potentially "treatable."

Content: Roughly 100,000 people worldwide die each day of age-related causes.

Content: CARE FOR ANGER

Content: Disease Description

Content: Anger is an emotion related to one's psychological interpretation of having been offended, wronged or denied and a tendency to undo that by retaliation. Anger is described as an emotion that involves a strong uncomfortable and emotional response to a perceived provocation.

Content: Anger may have physical correlates such as increased heart rate, blood pressure, and levels of adrenaline and noradrenaline. Some view anger as part of the fight or flight brain response to the perceived threat of harm. Anger becomes the predominant feeling behaviorally, cognitively, and physiologically when a person makes the conscious choice to take action to immediately stop the threatening behavior of another outside force.

Content: Modern psychologists point out that suppression of anger may have harmful effects. The suppressed anger may find another outlet, such as a physical symptom, or become more extreme.

Content: Physiological responses to anger include an increase in the heart rate, preparing the person to move, and increase of the blood flow to the hands, preparing them to strike. Perspiration increases (particularly when the anger is intense).

Content: CURE FOR ANXIETY

Content: Disease Description

Content: Anxiety disorder is a blanket term covering several different forms of a type of mental illness of abnormal and pathological fear and anxiety.

Content: The term anxiety covers four aspects of experiences an individual may have: mental apprehension, physical tension, physical symptoms and dissociative anxiety. The emotions present in anxiety disorders range from simple nervousness to bouts of terror.

Content: Anxiety disorders can arise in response to life stresses such as financial worries or chronic physical illness to the actual potential danger but still are overwhelmed by the fear.

Content: Low levels of a neurotransmitter that reduces activity in the central nervous system, contribute to anxiety.

Content: Anxiety also raises blood pressure and heart rate and can cause nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, ulcers, diarrhea, tingling, weakness, and shortness of breath. Some other symptoms are frequent self-doubt and self-criticism, irritability, sleep problems and, in extreme cases, thoughts of not wanting to be alive.

Content: Arthritis is a form of joint disorder that involves inflammation of one or more joints.

Content: There are over 100 different forms of arthritis. The most common form, osteoarthritis (degenerative joint disease), is a result of trauma to the joint, infection of the joint, or age. Other arthritis forms are rheumatoid arthritis, gout, psoriatic arthritis, and related autoimmune diseases. Septic arthritis is caused by joint infection.

Content: The major complaint by individuals who have arthritis is joint pain. Pain is often a constant and may be localized to the joint affected. The pain from arthritis is due to inflammation that occurs around the joint, damage to the joint from disease, daily wear and tear of joint, muscle strains caused by forceful movements against stiff, painful joints and fatigue. Arthritic disorders like lupus and rheumatoid can also affect other organs in the body with a variety of symptoms like inability to use the hand or walk, feeling of tiredness, fever, weight loss, muscle aches and pains, tenderness.

Content: Arthritis can make it very difficult for the individual to remain physically active, contributing to an increased risk of obesity, high cholesterol or vulnerability to heart disease. Individuals with arthritis are also at increased risk of depression, which may be related to fear of worsening symptoms.

Content: CURE FOR ARTHRITIS

Content: Disease Description

Content: Arthritis is a form of joint disorder that involves inflammation of one or more joints.

Content: There are over 100 different forms of arthritis. The most common form, osteoarthritis (degenerative joint disease), is a result of trauma to the joint, infection of the joint, or age. Other arthritis forms are rheumatoid arthritis, gout, psoriatic arthritis, and related autoimmune diseases. Septic arthritis is caused by joint infection.

Content: The major complaint by individuals who have arthritis is joint pain. Pain is often a constant and may be localized to the joint affected. The pain from arthritis is due to inflammation that occurs around the joint, damage to the joint from disease, daily wear and tear of joint, muscle strains caused by forceful movements against stiff, painful joints and fatigue. Arthritic disorders like lupus and rheumatoid can also affect other organs in the body with a variety of symptoms like inability to use the hand or walk, feeling of tiredness, fever, weight loss, muscle aches and pains, tenderness.

Content: Arthritis can make it very difficult for the individual to remain physically active, contributing to an increased risk of obesity, high cholesterol or vulnerability to heart disease. Individuals with arthritis are also at increased risk of depression, which may be related to fear of worsening symptoms.

Content: CARE FOR ASTHMA

Content: Disease Description

Content: Asthma is the common chronic inflammatory disease of the airways characterized by variable and recurring symptoms, reversible airflow obstruction, and bronchospasm. Symptoms include wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.

Content: Asthma is clinically classified according to the frequency of symptoms, forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), and peak expiratory flow rate. Asthma may also be classified as atopic (extrinsic) or non-atopic (intrinsic). It is thought to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

Content: Treatment of acute symptoms is usually with an inhaled short-acting beta-2 agonist (such as salbutamol). Symptoms can be prevented by avoiding triggers, such as allergens and irritants, and by inhaling corticosteroids. Leukotriene antagonists are less effective than corticosteroids and thus less preferred. Its diagnosis is usually made based on the pattern of symptoms and/or response to therapy over time.

Content: The prevalence of asthma has increased significantly since the 1970s. As of 2010, 300 million people were affected worldwide. In 2009 asthma caused 250,000 deaths globally.

Content: CARE FOR ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER (ADD)

Content: Disease Description

Content: ADHD predominantly inattentive (ADHD-PI or ADHD-I) is one of the three subtypes of Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). While ADHD-PI is sometimes still called "attention deficit disorder" (ADD) by the general public, these older terms were formally changed in 1994 in the new Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fourth edition (DSM-IV).

Content: ADHD-PI is similar to the other subtypes of ADHD in that it is characterized primarily by inattention, easy distractibility, disorganization, procrastination, and forgetfulness; where it differs is in lethargy - fatigue, and having fewer or no symptoms of hyperactivity or impulsiveness typical of the other ADHD subtypes.

Content: In some cases, children who enjoy learning may develop a sense of fear when faced with structured or planned work, especially long or group-based that requires extended focus, even if they thoroughly understand the topic.

Content: Children with ADHD-PI may be at greater risk of academic failures and early withdrawal from school. Teachers and parents may make incorrect assumptions about the behaviors and attitudes of a child with ADHD-PI, and may provide them with frequent and erroneous negative feedback (e.g. "you're irresponsible", "you're immature", "you're lazy", "you don't care/show any effort", "you just aren't trying",etc.).

Content: The inattentive children may realize on some level that they are somehow different internally from their peers. However, they are also likely to accept and internalize the continuous negative feedback, creating a negative self-image that becomes self-reinforcing. If these children progress into adulthood undiagnosed or untreated, their inattentiveness, ongoing frustrations, and poor self-image frequently create numerous and severe problems maintaining healthy relationships, succeeding in postsecondary schooling, or succeeding in the workplace.

Content: These problems can compound frustrations and low self-esteem, and will often lead to the development of secondary pathologies including anxiety disorders, sexual promiscuity, mood disorders, and substance abuse. It has been suggested that some of the symptoms of ADHD present in childhood appear to be less overt in adulthood. This is likely due to an adult's ability to make cognitive adjustments and develop coping skills minimizing the frequency of inattentive or hyperactive behaviors. However, the core problems of ADHD do not disappear with age.

Content: CARE FOR AUTISM

Content: Disease Description

Content: Autism is a disorder of neural development characterized by impaired social interaction and communication, and by restricted and repetitive behavior. These signs all begin before a child is three years old. Autism affects information processing in the brain by altering how nerve cells and their synapses connect and organize; how this occurs is not well understood.

Content: Autism has a strong genetic basis. In rare cases, autism is strongly associated with agents that cause birth defects. Controversies surround other proposed environmental causes, such as heavy metals, pesticides or childhood vaccines. The number of people diagnosed with autism has increased dramatically since the 1980s, partly due to changes in diagnostic practice; the question of whether actual prevalence has increased is unresolved. Although there is no known cure, there have been reported cases of children who recovered.

Content: CARE FOR AUTOIMMUNE DISORDERS

Content: Disease Description

Content: Immunity refers to the ability to defend the body against infection and disease and resist harmful microbes. The immune system has a non speciflc and specific component.

Content: Non-specific or innate immunity is the natural resistance with which a human is born and it provides non-specific physical, chemical and cellular barriers to a wide range of pathogens. For example, the epithetical cell layer which lines our skin and mucous membranes is often the first barrier that microbes encounter. Other examples are tear secretion, chemical secretions, fever, the inflammatory response which leads to microbes being "destroyed and eaten" by cells of the immune system.

Content: Specific or adaptive immunity responses involving components such as B and T cells are able to adapt itself to each pathogen and generate pathogen specific antibodies. Artificial adaptive immunity against a pathogen can be induced by vaccination.

Content: The immune system needs to maintain a delicate balance. Low immunity can leave one vulnerable to diseases, whereas an overactive immune system may lead to autoimmune disorders.

Content: Autoimmune diseases arise from an inappropriate immune response of the body against substances and tissues normally present in the body. In other words, the immune system mistakes some part of the body as a pathogen and attacks its own cells. This may be restricted to certain organs (e.g. in autoimmune thyroiditis) or involve a particular tissue in different places (e.g. Good pasture's disease which may affect the basement membrane in both the lung and the kidney). The treatment of autoimmune diseases is typically with immunosuppression—medication which decreases the immune response.

Content: CARE FOR BIPOLAR DISORDER

Content: Disease Description

Content: Bipolar disorder or bipolar affective disorder, historically known as manic-depressive disorder, is a psychiatric diagnosis in which people experience intermittent abnormally elevated (manic or hypomanic) and, in many cases, abnormally depressed states for periods of time in a way that interferes with functioning. The elevated moods are clinically referred to as mania. Individuals who experience manic episodes also commonly experience depressive episodes, or symptoms, or a mixed state in which features of both mania and depression are present at the same time. Severe manic episodes can sometimes lead to such psychotic symptoms as delusions and hallucinations.

Content: The current term bipolar disorder is of fairly recent origin and refers to the cycling between high and low episodes (poles).

Content: Not everyone's symptoms are the same, and there is no simple physiological test to confirm the disorder. What distinguishes bipolar disorder from unipolar depression is that the affected person experiences states of mania and depression. Often bipolar is inconsistent among patients because some people feel depressed more often than not and experience little mania whereas others experience predominantly manic symptoms.

Content: CARE FOR CANCER

Content: Disease Description

Content: Cancer, known medically as a malignant neoplasm, is a broad group of various diseases, all involving unregulated cell growth. In cancer, cells divide and grow uncontrollably, forming malignant tumors, and invade nearby parts of the body. The cancer may also spread to more distant parts of the body through the lymphatic system or bloodstream. Not all tumors are cancerous. Benign tumors do not grow uncontrollably, do not invade neighboring tissues, and do not spread throughout the body.

Content: Determining what causes cancer is complex. Many things are known to increase the risk of cancer, including tobacco use, certain infections, radiation, lack of physical activity, poor diet and obesity, and environmental pollutants. These can directly damage genes or combine with existing genetic faults within cells to cause the disease. Approximately five to ten percent of cancers are entirely hereditary.

Content: Cancer can be detected in a number of ways, including the presence of certain signs and symptoms, screening tests, or medical imaging. Once a possible cancer is detected it is diagnosed by microscopic examination of a tissue sample. Cancer is usually treated with chemotherapy, radiation therapy and surgery. The chances of surviving the disease vary greatly by the type and location of the cancer and the extent of disease at the start of treatment. The risk of developing cancer generally increases with age. In 2007, cancer caused about 13% of all human deaths worldwide (7.9 million). Rates are rising as more people live to an old age and as mass lifestyle changes occur in the developing world.

Content: TRANSLATION

Content: "Wherever the yogi may be, he should always, in everything he does, be sure to keep the tongue turned upwards and constantly hold the breath. This Nabho mudra, the destroyer of diseases for yogis."

Content: TECHNIQUE

Content:

1. Sit in any of the Yogic sitting postures such as Padmasana, Sukhasana, Vajrasana, sitting in a chair or in stand-at-ease position.

Content: 2. A correct and easy way of doing this is to put the tip of the tongue against the soft palate. For this, the tongue has to be turned upside down, bringing the undersurface of the tongue up, and touching the tip of the tongue with the soft palate. Keep it there for as long as you can. If you feel uncomfortable or feel pain, unroll your tongue and relax for a few seconds and again resume. Initially, you can practice it for a few minutes every day, and slowly, can increase your practice.

Content: 3. A still easier, but less effective, way to do this is by putting the tongue up against the palate, with the tip of the tongue touching between back of your teeth and hard palate, and tongue pressing against the hard palate, and keeping it there for as long as you can do it comfortably.

Content: Disease Description

Content: Dandruff is characterized by the excessive turnover and shedding of epidermal cells from the scalp. It is a very common scalp disorder and affects about half the pre-pubertal population. In individuals affected by dandruff, skin cells may mature and be turned over in about one week as opposed to approximately one month in unaffected individuals Causes can include frequent exposure to extreme heat and cold and can often worsen in cold climates or with excessive perspiration. This excessive flaking can also be accompanied by redness, itching and irritation. Certain fungal infections or the excessive secretion of sebum may also cause dandruff.
