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

Obviously this is a common question posed by those doing energy science work for clearance of their IC complex of bladder pain and possibly IBS, GERD, chronic prostatitis, vulvodynia, and fibromyalgia As a child you may have asked, “Are we there yet?” and “Now are we there yet?” So when will this IC be over?

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

The toxicity that we talk about in the environment is no different than the toxicity we create for ourselves The good news is that you can do something about it
The IC bladder pain syndrome is associated with toxicity not just an energetic imbalance As a matter of fact every disease carries toxic load to the tissues But the matter science molecular model practiced today doesn’t have a concept of toxicity until late in the disease process, when people need dialysis for example And we tend to think of toxicity that comes from the environment, not something we create ourselves But the energy science sees it differently and hence as I have written about earlier, the disease process is seen differently Hence even though the matter science seems not to have an answer, the energy science does
In the IC syndrome IBS shows its toxicity as mucous in the bowel particularly if there is drastic pain The other form of IBS doesn’t yield to the incredible spasms that occur with the spastic colon varietu Fibromyalgia has the energy patterns of Vata and Pitta carry toxicity to the muscle and joints In vulvodynia the toxicity appears in the female vaginal tract; in chronic prostatitis the toxicity is carried into the male reproductive tract Lastly in IC itself the toxicity is carried into the bladder muscle causing spasm and bladder irritability
The general term for toxicity is ama energy science lingo and it’s present in all diseases
Ama is a sticky cold material that is the endproduct of poor digestion It doesn’t cause disease right away but by and by with its accumulation it begins to become symptomatic
Symptoms of ama are indigestion, poor appetite, sense of heaviness even though thin, halitosis, body odor, diarrhea, constipation, and of course all the symptoms of the above disease label
If ama is formed it means the digestion is not up to par and most people’s agni is not up to par Another general term for digestion that is used in the energy science is agni Agni and ama go hand in hand If agni is low ama is formed If agni is high ama is not formed and the person enjoys good health
There are several ways to prevent ama and hence ill health from occurring
1 Don’t overeat…..what one can hold in 2 hands is the volume that should be used at the biggest meal of the day…..the noon meal
2 Eat according to your dominant energy patterns(see foodsheal.com)
3 Use various tools to improve digestion…CCF tea, agni tea, ginger appetizer, trikatu
4 Use tripahala that helps improve bowel health and hence clears ama
5 Some ama is mucousy and the use of licorice as a demulcent(liquifies the mucous) can be helpful
6 Baking soda and dry ginger bath…1/3 cup of each in bath water helps to eliminate toxic load through the skin
So this is the top secret in clearing IC for good Clear the ama It’s not as easy and simple as it looks on the surface because as some of you may recognize all IC’s are not created equally Some have had their IC a long time and others not so long Some have prominent IBS as part of their IC symptoms while others have their ama loculated in different places
Not one size fits all so therefore the treatments tend to vary for each individual but the secret still remains the same: Clear ama and clear IC for good
Good luck on 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?

The products that are derived from milk can be problematic It’s based on who is taking them in when it comes to IC and the painful bladder syndrome these choices lead to inflammation In the energy science world this is a dictum that is the premise to individualizing one’s food choices according to who is eating the food All foods have the potential to make us sick if not chosen properly and this is particularly true with the IC bladder pain syndrome
For example when you look at the dairy selections at foodsheal.com you’ll find that the choices for dairy are quite broad for Pitta Vata(PV) but limited when comparing the foods with Pitta Kapha(PK) There are two reasons for this First the Kapha energy pattern(the energy of stability in the body) is easily congested with dairy due to the heavy quality and so dairy produces imbalance for Kapha people However the energy of movement in the body(Vata) due to its light quality is grounded by dairy
In general when foods are not digested well they leave behind poorly broken down molecules that cannot be absorbed and assimilated These large molecules stay in the gut lumen and cause inflammation This fact is particularly true for dairy’s large lactose and fat molecules(low fat milk or skim milk don’t solve the problem)
But the story gets worse as the years progress The gut mucosa(lining of the GI tract) can in these cases become affected by this process such that it is not functional to other molecules like another large molecule gluten(there is a large crossover effect with gluten and lactose intolerances) and then the problme compounds itself
These innocent molecules of lactose and gluten get blamed due to our own poor digestion
Decide who you are energetically and eat according to your energy makeup For example, consuming dairy twice a week is manageable if you’re a PK energy makeup; however, if you’re PV then daily dairy options are available
Digestive strength The vast majority of people with lactose intolerance are not intolerant to the lactose molecule but rather have poor digestive strength which is the real problem So the first thing to do in these situations is to build a strong digestion I’ve spent time in previous posts regarding this
Problems with Cheese Although there are many cheeses available and it’s used in many different dishes, cheese due to its heavy, sticky, cold, liquid, and oily qualities is the worst food to take in when your digestion is not up to par Soft cheeses may be used occasionally but the hard cheddar cheeses should be left alone since their acidity along with the above qualities make it doubly inflammatory
Ghee is clarified butter and is an excellent way to use dairy butter in IC The qualities of ghee match those of digestive fire and therefore ghee helps aid digestion It’s also a great way to help the dry quality in the body particularly around constipation or early IBS
Ice Cream has the cold quality and makes this apparent good food for hot inflammation a great choice Unfortunately the cold quality affects our digestive strength and leads to poor digestion
Yogurt I’ve previously posted some information on yogurt Suffice it to say that only homemade yogurt works Store bought yogurt is too acidic and therefore inflammatory And remember no fruit with yogurt due to the inflammatory nature of the combination
All the best in your journey Love DB
Obviously this is a common question posed by those doing energy science work for clearance of their IC complex of bladder pain and possibly IBS, GERD, chronic prostatitis, vulvodynia, and fibromyalgia As a child you may have asked, “Are we there yet?” and “Now are we there yet?” So when will this IC be over? The short answer is, “It’s over when it’s over.” But to be more specific, in general it takes 2 months of release for every year of imbalance So if you have had symptoms of IC for 10 years it will take 20...

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
