Gheranda's Vutkrama Kapālbhātī Definition
According to the Gheranda Samhita, Vutkrama Kapālbhātī refers to a specific internal cleansing practice (a Kriya or Shatkarma).
Understanding Vutkrama Kapālbhātī
- Technique: It involves drawing water through the nose.
- Process: The drawn water is then expelled through the mouth.
- Purpose: This method is primarily for internal purification, particularly of the nasal passages and throat.
This technique is distinct from the breathing-focused Kapālbhātī pranayama. It aligns with practices like Jala Neti or Varisara Dhauti, focusing on cleansing with water.
Therefore, the definition matches the action of taking water through the nose and releasing it through the mouth.
