Guest guest Posted March 19, 2001 Report Share Posted March 19, 2001 ok, I'm going to put this out there since I think I have anonymity ( i think so anyway!)... Has anyone experienced hemhoirrods as a result of practice?? I am certain I have been having problems from my mula bandha. I have experimented with easing up on it & notice they go away. Has anyone else had this (unfortunate) experience?? Did they go away with time?? Is this just another area that needs to strengthen or am I using the lock incorrectly (so hard to tell you know??). tx for any advice, blushing namaste.......

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2001 Report Share Posted March 19, 2001 Please don't be embarrassed.<br><br>I suffered form hemorrhoids since I was a teen and <br>at one point even had surgery (talk about pain!).<br><br>I can’t say that yoga alone has cured me, but it has been a part of many things<br>I have done to avoid hemorrhoids. Other things I have done is an old Chinese <br>hemorrhoid remedy, eat 2 bananas first thing in the morning... going vegan <br>has definitely helped! Forget about over the counter remedies, PreparationH <br>and such-- to soothe the burning topically use Aloe Vera gel. Aloe Vera is also <br>effective by eating a tablespoon of it after eating.<br><br>My take on mula bandha is that it really strengthens<br>that area and improves circulation... poor circulation is one of the causes<br>of hemorrhoids. A side effect of mula bandha is in strengthening the muscles<br>‘down there”, allowing one to easily expel without strain... strain is <br>another cause of hemorrhoids. <br><br>Mula bandha is something that is developed over time and indeed<br>one can over-strain in a pursuit of mula-perfection. Go easy and<br>slowly find your lock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 19, 2001 Report Share Posted March 19, 2001 I had H once, some years ago, and i believe that my introduction to astanga may have helped cure the problem (which was brought on, I believe, by "forcing the issue" while on the throne, and this may be the reason why most people get roids). <br><br>It's impossible for me to say for sure that astanga practice was soley responsible for getting rid of my H, but I strongly believe it might has been.
