How To Cure Piles


How To Cure Piles By Doing One Yoga Exercise.

Something different; now you can see why the word"odd" is in the blog title!

I would not have posted this, but after someone told me earlier today that this particular exercise had  cured the six people who had been told about this exercise,and cured them very quickly- in a matter of days, I thought it only right to let people know how one Yoga exercise can get rid of Piles.

Piles or Haemorrhoids can be a pain in the ----.!

Years ago, a neighbour of mine,a man of about twenty five,told me how he suffered ,all the time, from this unpleasant ailment..

He was someone who liked to talk,and he rambled on to me,about how he had tried all the ointments that existed,and how his Doctor had suggested that he had surgery on the offending veins..

He didn't fancy surgery one little bit.
He gave up alcohol and chocolate, thinking that maybe these were the cause of his problem.However such denial of the things he enjoyed , made no difference to his condition.

He kept on about his Piles so much,it became his main topic of conversation, and, quite frankly,because of this I tried to avoid him.This, though, proved difficult to do,as every time I came out of my front door,he would suddenly rush out of his door,and bombard me  with his latest attempts to cure himself.

It was then a thought occurred to me.I was, at that time ,reading a book about Yoga, and I recalled seeing the word Piles somewhere in the text.I searched through the index and found that there was an exercise that claimed  to cure any one of this,and to do this quickly too.

If, I thought, I could offer this man a cure for his wretched Piles, he would no longer focus his whole attention on this narrow subject.

The exercise was called the Plough Posture, or in Sanskrit, Halasana.
All you had to do was to lie flat on your back, on the ground, with your legs stretched out together,with your arms close to your body.
You then bend your legs,and bring your knees above the belly.
Lift your hips off the floor,and support your hips with both your hands.
Straighten your trunk,and push the legs up to the sky in a vertical position.

Once in this position your body will look a bit like the small letter "b" with the lower bit of the "b", the circle bit, being your head,and the straight line going up, your legs.

This exercise is not the Plough Posture, but the Shoulder Stand or Salamba Sarvangasana.You have to get in this position,though, before you can do the Plough.

All you do now is swing your feet and legs over your head until your toes(hopefully) touch the floor behind your head.

So to re cap:
1. Lie down on the floor,on your back, with your legs together, and your arms by your sides.
2.Straighten your legs,straight up in the air, so your feet are facing  the sky.
3.Support your body by putting both hands on your hips.
4Push your legs over your head,so your toes touch the floor behind your head.
5.Hold this position for a few seconds,and then longer, after practice.

It is unlikely that you will be able to make your toes  actually touch the floor,when you first start doing this.Don't worry.In Yoga you never strain or push your body if you feel discomfort.You only push your body as far as it feels comfortable.With repeated efforts though,you may well be able to get your toes to touch the floor, without any feeling of strain at all.

The benefits; apart from curing Piles, it is meant to, enhance sexual fitness, correct menstrual disorder,prevent stomach trouble,tune the nervous system,and is good for obese people to correct their figure.



However, it comes with a warning;if you have weak vertebrae, you should not attempt to do this.

I actually took the Yoga book to the guy next door.He said he would try anything, and was very willing to try the one Yoga exercise that was meant to cure Piles.Mind you, he had a look of doubt in his eyes, which is understandable, after trying so many cures, that had not worked.

Do you know, a week later I got a knock on my door,and there this guy was with a great smile on his face.
"It worked", he said simply.

What's more, his conversations got real interesting,as the book on Yoga led him to explore Eastern Philosophy; a much more interesting subject to talk about than Piles!
