Dhauti kriya

Dhauti Kriya: understand the tradition before attempting a practice

Dhauti refers to a range of cleansing practices in some yoga traditions. Not all are simple or low risk, and descriptions in historical sources should not be interpreted as instructions to perform an invasive procedure at home.

Potential risks

Practices involving swallowed cloth, induced vomiting, or internal cleansing can cause choking, aspiration, tissue injury, or other complications.

Choose safer options

If your goal is general wellbeing, consider gentle, non-invasive yoga and meditation practices. Do not force breathing, swallowing, or gagging.

When symptoms need care

Ongoing nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, or swallowing problems should be discussed with a qualified clinician.

Safety and limits

No invasive cleansing technique should be attempted from an online article alone. This page intentionally does not provide procedural instructions.
