How to use an Indian toilet

This is an Indian toilet

A place to stand on each side of the sink, a garwich bin a bucket with water inside a small bucket, a sort of small shower no toilet paper

My explanation:

First try to get up the legs of your trousers and fix it

Than roll your long shawl 7 times round your neck-otherwise it will hang in the sink.

Stand carefully on the places for the feet, very wet and very slippery. Sit down and do what has to be done.

Then you have two ways of cleaning-

take the little shower and try not to get too wet or take the small bucket and wash yourself with the left hand with the right hand hold the bucket with the next hand fix your clothes

Done - congratulations

This is the explanation of the same procedure in the toilet of the german bakery in Kovalam /Kerala

Hier ein bisschen Informationen ueber Ayurveda

1. Ayurveda ist in Indien entstanden

2. Ayurveda ist ein Teil des hinduistischen Denksystems

3. Ayurveda ist das medizinische System des Hinduismus ( nach dem Prinzip :"mens sana in corpore sano"

4. Neben den vielfaeltigen medizinischen Anwendungen wird deshalb auch viel Wert auf Meditation, Yoga und Pranayamas (Atemuebungen gelegt)

ich soll vor allem meditieren und Pranayamas machen- mach ich.

Hier macht Sumi parallel zu Aneesha eine Kraeuterstempelmassage. Viel heisses Oel, Kraeuter und Knoblauch. Danach roch ich wie das perfekt vorbereitete Spanferkel

Grundlage der Panchakarmakur ist die Reinigung

Nasenreinigung, Augenreinigung(Tropfen), heisses Ghee trinken, Vhasti (Einlaeufe),Purgation (Abfuehroel) oder Zeug um sich zu erbrechen. Ich hatte Glueck bei mir musste diesmal nicht so viel gereinigt werden. Dafuer hab ich mir meine Lieblingsreinigung 2 mal erbettelt

This is the ear-cleansing.

A shell of a coconut ist burned an when the fire is nearly out it is used as charcoal. Aneesha gave some francincenct(Weihrauch) on the heat and throug this pipe it came in my ears. I hear so much better since this treatment.

Shirodaya is my favourite treatment, slowly hot oil, herbal water, buttermilk or milk is running over my forhead. Slowly the pot is swinging from one side to the other - about 30 minutes. After that I am so relaxed that I move like a cat on the way to the favourit place for a nap.

But

The treatment begins always with a prayer for healing, burning of an incent-stick. Then I get a oil headmassage and some herbal powder on my 7. chakra that I don't get cool.

After that a long proceture of  oil massage - the whole body, then all over the body oil or buttermilk or milk and finally or at the beginning 30 minutes massage with herbal powder- feels like fine sand. This all needs about 2 1/2 hours.

Then I have to drink an tender coconut and 1 liter of herbal tea special made for me. Two times a day 2 bitter herbal drinks and 6 pills vor my doshas.

By the way Iam Vatha- Kapha

now you know all about my "holidaystress"

This is a treatment for all people who wants to recover and enjoy

Birgit with love
