What is Nauli in Ayurveda?



Nauli is a basic massage technique that targets the colon, intestines, liver, and spleen, among other internal organs. 


  • It also helps to keep the colon clean and maintains abdominal stability. 
  • Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent. 
  • Bend forward and place each hand on its corresponding knee, as illustrated in the diagram. 
  • Inhale deeply for a long time, then slowly exhale. 
  • Hold your breath out after you've completely exhaled. 
  • Form a ropelike structure at the abdominal wall by contracting your abdominal muscles. 
  • The abdominal muscles may then be moved from right to left and left to right by alternating the pressure on your right and left hands. 
  • Rep this process seven times.
