In keeping with our theme from last week, I wanted to discuss with you this week the use of yoga postures for irritable bowel syndrome(IBS), fibromyalgia, vulvodynia, and chronic prostatitis All of these matter science disease labels are associated in high percentages with IC
Yoga has been used as a discipline for healing at the Ayurvedic Institute since the 1980’s and has been trademarked as Ayuryoga The uniqueness of the breathing techniques that I talked about last week and the poses this week is that paired with energy science healing techniques they can restore normal health without IC
The key is that certain yoga postures improve GI health and restore digestive power that has been lost over the years You will not heal IC until you address the digestive health of your gut
Yoga as a discipline of healing using the Ayurvedic model has been around for 5000+years and has used yoga postures for healing In the late 1990’s Dawn Mahowald, a certified yoga instructor began having symptoms of IC She began using yoga postures for her problem and was pleasantly surprised that her symptoms improved to the point she wasn’t bothered any further During that time she sought out the help of a urologist, Emmy Ripoll MD who was open minded enough to follow Dawn’s progress and see the improvemnts
This led to a collaborative effort and a book on the subject showing how IC can be helped with yoga They currently practice in Boulder Colorado They were interviewed by Jill Osborne of the ICN in 2002
As I have pointed out over the years the difference between the matter science and the energy science medical healing models is that one is based on molecules and the other on seeing the body as an energy field You simultaneously coexist as these fields If I put on my molecular glasses I see the body as an collection of molecules If I put on a different pair of glasses I see the body as an energy field
When I have those energy glasses on I see the body as a collection of qualities, hot and cold, hard and soft, liquid and dense, slow/dull and sharp/penetrating, heavy and light, etc So these qualities become my window of observation as to how the energy field is doing If I feel sluggish and fatigued then I’m out of balance and should take measures to correct the problem
If you have IC you have an imbalance in the hot and mobile qualities that cause you go to the toilet frequently and when in a flare experience burning on urination
So yoga can be therapeutic but a sequence in a yoga studio may cause you a setback if you don’t know how the activity can affect you So the ongoing discussion below is meant to be a reference for you for future questions that you may have Therapeutic yoga when combined with Ayurvedic energy science techniques can be healing and transforming
Using yoga as a therapeutic tool is extremely valuable but you have to have some basic understanding of what yoga asana(postures, poses) do to the energy body As a matter of fact, people report being made worse when they go to a yoga class This would be particularly the case if you attended a “hot yoga” (Bikram) session and this would make complete sense from what I said above Here are some suggestions
Chandra namaskar(moon salutation) is an excellent cooling dynamic flow sequence for IC
Doing all sequences and poses slowly(opposed to the mobile quality) is also therapeutic
Forward bends are heating and backbends and expansion poses are cooling in general
After these generalizations the building of a posture practice is based on the individual and their needs but safe asanas to use are: trikonasana, ardha chandrasana, and utthita parsvokonasana Most standing poses are heating
Balancing poses are very grounding for Vata and therefore reduce the mobile quality: vrksasna, natarajasana, and gaurudasana
Agni building poses are safe such as uttana padasana, naukasana, and mayurasana
Inversions are in general heating but these can be used safely: halasana, bhadharasana(downward facing dog), and short periods in headstand(sarvangasana) are OK but sirasana and variations should be avoided
Twists are cooling so ardha matsyendrasana and jathara parivattasana are great
Seated postures with backbending components are cooling: setu bandhasana, dhanurasana, pawanmuktanasana, baddha konasana, gomuksasana, virasana, supta virasana, ustrasana, matsyasana, vajrasana, upward dog, and bhujangasana
This list is to give you and your yoga teacher some guidance as to what postures can be aggravating for IC If you haven’t explored yoga, maybe it’s time to try it out with this guidance It’s great exercise!
If you would like some personal guidance you and I could develop a personalized program that could be progressed and at the same time get some other help with treatment of your IC condition
There are specific postures in yoga that can help improve your digestion which are called above agni building poses These are amazing because they help restore digestive health which is foundational on your road back to recovering from IC
As always best in your healing journey Love DB
PS Don’t forget April 5 for the free webinar on the use of yoga in IC!
The IC bladder pain syndrome(interstitial cystitis, vulvodynia, chronic prostatitis, IBS, GERD, and fibromyalgia) is caused by a pelvic neuropathy from an energy science point of view What this means is that abnormal vibrational frequencies from the gut infiltrate the nervous tissue in the pelvic complex of nerves to produce symptoms in the bladder, vagina, prostate, and distant organs as in fibromyalgia These abnormal vibrational frequencies or qualities are given names which we are familiar…hot, light, dry, mobile, static, sticky,...

When in between the painful bladder flares of the IC bladder pain syndrome there are things that you can do to help support your recovery as you move along One of the more important techniques are yogic breathing exercises
As I’ve discussed in the past you can either see your body as a collection of molecules or as an energy field This is because you simultaneously coexist as both From E=mc2 we know this to be the case but for many reasons the current molecular biological model has failed to embrace this fact primarily because you need a trusted model of healing that can guide you in world of energy science healing
The energy science model of Ayurveda is one such model of healing that sees the body as an energy field Ayurveda comes from the vast yoga discipline and is actually the healing arm of that tradition
When you do yoga you are actually practicing energy science medicine because these postures realign, redistribute, rebalance the body’s energy field over time In essence you are moving energy into places of stagnant energy which is the primary reason for pain
The primary reason for pain from an energy science point of view is poor flow or stagnant energy in the body
There are 3 breath techniques that anyone interested in healing IC can use to aid and support their recovery From a molecular point of view these techinques seem weird but when you know that you are doing these to redistribute energy in the body then it becomes clear why you are doing them
1 Kapalabhati(KB) is a breath technique of active exhalation and passive inhalation This has high marks for healing IC because clears toxicity which I talked about last week It restores the normal directional flow of energy in the pelvis and helps in the restoration of colonic health which is a major player in IC and bowel dysfunction KB tones the digestive system and improves digestive power, brings about alertness, clears the energy channels and helps move stagnant energy along, energizes the brain, massages the heart(cardiovascualar import), stimulates blood production, heals the prostate, stimulates the ovaries, and balances hormones, and normalizes body weight You can do this sitting on the front edge of a chair Here’s a video demonstrating KB Start with 100 and gradually over weeks increase to 1000 Some call this the breath of fire because it increases body heat But because it doesn’t disturb the Pitta energy pattern it is considered OK for Pitta
2 Forceful alternate nostril breathing A variation of nadi shodana or alternate nostril breathing, this breath technique is done forcefully with the right arm up if possible So the fingers of the right hand are positioned such that the pinky and ring finger close off the left nasal passage and the thumb closes off the right nares Begin by breathing in through the left nares and the same time closing off the right nostril with the thumb Exhale through forcefully through the right nostril, closing off the left nares Inhale right nostril, then forcefully exhale out left nares This is one round Start with 10 rounds and gradually work up to 50
This breath technique is like giving yourself an energy bath as it cleanses the entire energy body It merges left and right brain hemispheres and unfolds by and by a blissful state of being Physiologcially it reduces depression, eliminates migraines, clears the sinuses, brings vitality to the abdominal organs, strengthens the immune system, decreases cholesterol, induces contentment and serenity
3 Bhramari is translated as bumblebee breath and is done by placing the index fingers in the ear canals, closing the eyes, taking in a deep breathtthrough the mouth, and making the sound of a bee This calms the physiology and hence the bladder in IC, is excellent of osteoporosis, induces good sleep, improves the function of the thyroid and parathryroid glands, harmonizes the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems Start with 10 rounds and go to 17 No more than 17
In a couple of months I’ll do a webinar for the community on these techniques as well as other yoga poses that are beneficial for the IC bladder pain syndrome Until then you can get started and be ready for the practice in April
All the best in your healing journey DB

There is a great energy around the use of castor with some people finding relief from its application to the lower abdomen for the painful bladder of IC syndrome(fibromyalgia, vulvodynia, HAS/GERD, IBS)
But if that doesn’t work try a mixture of castor, mustard and flax oils as a combination(a third of each)
The same application technique applies You can use a covering cloth over the oils directly applied to the suprapubic region Once applied you can apply a towel and then the heating pad over the top of the towel
The value of castor is that it cools the lower abdomen Mustard and flax both burn up toxic accumulation in the pelvis when applied even topically As I’ve discussed before toxic accumulation is invariably associated with the IC condition
There is no pain without this toxic accumulation so it behooves all people with IC to promote a good strong digestive fire or agni to burn off this toxic residue This waste is oily, sticky, stinky, cold, and heavy(see picture) So who would want that?

It’s of no surprise to anyone who has the IC bladder pain syndrome or is involved with an IC support group that bowel symptoms are as common as the flares As a matter of fact if I were a betting person I would say that there are often more common than the flares that occur
But the bowel symptoms are often overlooked because our tendency is to focus on the organ causing us the most problem, namely the bladder and pelvic symptoms
As you have read in some blog posts all disease begins in the GI tract according to the Ayurvedic or energy science model
When you focus too much…..I know that’s hard since the bladder is screaming for attention…. you may lose sight of the fact that the bowel symptoms are there but the bladder is claiming the attention At least 50% of people with IC have acid indigestion(heartburn) and/or reflux of acid into the lower esophagus and they resort to all kinds of different OTC(over the counter) remedies
It’s estimated that at least 50% of people with IC have IBS and I would say in working with patients that if you counted all their symptoms that it’s more like 100% The reason I can go that far is that most people walking on this planet have unhealthy digestion
The reasons for this unhealthy digestion are 2 fold First the food choices made bring about imbalance of qualities in the GI tract and hence symptoms
But the second reason is probably more important Poor digestion of food leads to unprocessed undigested food that clog the lymphatics of the gut and cover the surface of the internal lining of the gut interfering with proper digestion, absorption, and assimilation of foods ingested
Due to this “poor digestion” symptoms occur Gas, bloating, feeling of heaviness lethargy or fatigue after eating, fever, irritability, alternating diarrhea/constipation, loud noises coming from the stomach, poor appetite, congestion in the sinuses, mucoid vomiting or mucous in the stools, having an underactive thyroid, and overall depression….who wouldn’t be with these kinds of symptoms?
Getting your health…..particularly bowel health back….is a challenge but it’s at the heart of dealing with IC Puzzling isn’t it? Here you have this bladder problem but you’re being told that you need to really focus on the bowel Well, it’s actually both BUT you must put some attention on the your bowel function if you’re ever to deal with this problem labeled as IC
Since poor digestion is at the heart of the matter here are four things that you can do Remember don’t use dry ginger….only fresh
1 Use ginger appetizer to help clear the undigested debris hanging around in your gut Thirty minutes before eating your biggest meal of the day at noon take a slice of ginger with rock salt, lime juice, and a little honey (To peel the ginger use a spoon for taking the skin off..and slice an inch long piece of fresh ginger and place into a small container It’s helpful if the container is small enough to carry in your pocket or purse so that you can take it out to eat with you or to work Small jars can be purchased at health food stores or you can reuse glass supplement jars To save time make enough for 2-3 days
2 Use agni tea Quart of water with 2 handfuls minced ginger root pinch of cayenne (for Pitta disorders, a speck or omit entirely), 2 Tablespoons Sucanat or Maple syrup, and 1-2 teaspoons Rock salt Bring all of the above ingredients to a boil Boil for 20 minutes Take the pot off the burner and cool for a few minutes Add the juice of ½ lime Do not boil the lime juice Pour into a thermos and enjoy throughout the day!
3 Use CCF tea see prior blog post
4 Chose one day a week to fast This gives the GI tract a well deserved day off…..you get days off from work – why not do that for your ailing gut? This fast can be with juice(don’t mix fruit with veggies) or for overweight people, water but some kind of restriction from having to digest Why? Because just like a campfire it gets stronger when you don’t put so many logs on the fire Remember though that predominantly Vata people should only do light eating once every four weeks or they will weaken themselves even more
5 Explore digestive aids such as Betaine HCl or pancreatic enzymes but recognize this as a bandaid and not a fix for the gut As you can see, relying on something externally forever to help with your digestion is not a long term solution
Best of luck in your journey DB

Interstitial cystitis(IC) bladder pain with flares can be amplified by the routine use of nuts and seeds of any kind and this includes their butters!! Peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter
Unlike the matter science(MS) nutritional information that fatty acids are good and bad, the energy science(ES) of Ayurveda states that all nuts are inflammatory due to these molecular fatty acids regardless of the “good or bad nature of them” The reason for this is that the post digestive(small bowel) effect is heating therefore inflammation provoking
Seeds also can be problematic Safe to say that all seeds should be used in moderatioin So popcorn, flax, halva, and pumpkin can be used once every 2-3 days
The sweet taste of many foods covers the acidic nature of the foods itself and this is true of the nut category This is why the ES nutritional information trumps the MS guesswork around nutrition and is why the anecdotal information of the MS nutritional realm is at times confusing hence flares and then no flares What gives? This also explains why various other inflammatory conditions are interrelated with IC such as fibromyalgia, IBS, chronic fatigue syndrome(CFS), GERD, prostatitis(did you know that PSA is a marker for inflammation?), and CPPS(chronic pelvic pain syndrome)
As an aside this sweet taste of nuts in general make them a great choice for building tissue since the sweet taste is anabolic
Sorry to blow your day if you crave the mixed nuts but there is certainly a favorite guideline of mine and that is “There are no hard guidelines in the ES realms” Know that if you use the foods that are provoking that you increase the likelihood of a flare That use of inflammatory foods will keep you up at the ceiling of the curve below rather than allowing your mindbody to do the rebalancing as the curve progresses to the right(BTW the ascent from the left shows how we gradually get sick over decades by our own choices(Oh shoot, you didn’t have to say that did you?)
Soaked and peeled almonds(this is very important! or you can use slivered almonds from the bulk section of the grocery store if they have one ) are very helpful for their nutritive benefit but also for their cooling effect Turns out that the skin of the almond holds enzymes that in and of themselves are inflammatory Almonds are not actually nuts but in the end who cares
Charole(actually seeds like sunflower) is another nut choice It’s a very small nut found in very few stores in the US(I know because Ive looked; let me know if you have a source that you would share with the community) and is heating but due to the size and its energetics is acceptable and does not provoke Pitta(more about this energy pattern in future blog posts)
And of course coconut because it’s COOLING! The general energy science principle is this: Plants that grow in hot climates are there for a very specific reason Their job is to make the environment cold(well cooler) and so Momma Nature is always taking care of balancing herself
What about nut milks? Almond Breeze is made from blanched and peeled almonds so a great drink Coconut milk also is a very nutritious drink and both these “nut” milks make great date shakes More about that in the future
Note that popcorn is full of air therefore aggravating Vata so should be used in moderation
Here are three options for substitution without provoking inflammation or the Pitta energy pattern in the physiology
Use the above three recommendations and make your own nut butters from the slivered almonds
Sunflower seeds can be used by anyone anywhere anytime Sooo.. sunflower butter sold at Trader Joe’s is an excellent proprietary product and the best tasting sunflower butter on the planet Have tasted many and this by far is the closest to peanut butter with a nice sweet taste Mmm good!
Give yourself “permission” to have a few nuts every once and a while if the craving is too great The ES reminds us that food cravings are a result of imbalanced digestion so the faster we can improve our digestion the better it will be

Since flares are related to mounting inflammation in the mindbody and acidity is a primary source of the hot quality as a result of the sour taste in foods it makes sense that you would use alkalinity to reverse the process
And many people with IC bladder pain, GERD, IBS, and fibromyalgia swear by it
Recently a client told me about alkaline water It brought back memory of my friend’s picture seen to the left It is indeed stranger than fiction
Now under the right conditions with minor acidity, using baking soda could be of value It’s just that it’s very difficult to alkalinize the physiology acutely It would take a lot to alkanize the body and help it feel better
That’s why baking soda is questionable value
It’s like the cranberry juice story Some people swear by it but overall the approach doesn’t make much sense from an energy science view
So is there value? The energy science of Ayurveda says that everything in Nature is medicine and I think you can see that if the right circumstances are there it might work but the percentages are against this being a permanent solution but a temporary bandaid
