The Hindu-Yogi System of Practical Water Cure2130
resume the flow. If the inclination to pass the water becomes too strong, you
may discharge the water and what it carries away with it, and then proceed
with the injection. A little practice will soon enable you to overcome this
difficulty. As we have said, one quart is sufficient for the first trial. After it has
been injected, remain quiet, in a lying position if convenient, gently rubbing
and kneading the abdomen with the hands, this process tending to loosen
the impacted faecal matter. The evening, just before retiring is perhaps the
better time for applying the method, although some prefer the morning.
The Water. The proper temperature of the water used for the injection
may be regulated by the “feel” of the hand—let it be as hot as the hand can
stand without discomfort—about the same temperature that you would
use in washing with “hot-water.”
Final. In passing out the water, do not be in too much of a hurry. Let it
take its time. You will find that at first it will seem as if it were all out, but a
little later you will find an inclination to pass more, which may be assisted
by rubbing the abdomen from right to left. Sometimes say ten minutes after
you have concluded the operation, there will be felt a final inclination, and
the last of the water will pass from you, particularly if you walk about a little.
The first few times you flush the colon you will be surprised, and perhaps
disgusted, to perceive the character of the faecal matter that passes from
you. In some cases great lumps of old excrement will be passed, much of it
covered with a green, coppery mould or rust-in other cases lumps almost
as black as coal will be noticed—all of which will show you the truth of the
statements herein contained regarding the old, hardened impacted faecal
matter which has been poisoning your system.
Effect on Kidneys. Some time after the flushing, you will notice that you
will pass more water than usual from the kidneys, the water having passed
from the colon to the kidneys by means of absorption. Some practitioners
advise that after the final passage of the water from the rectum, you inject a
small quantity of hot water, and retain it, the result being that it will be taken
up by absorption, and the kidneys thus given a beneficial flushing.
