Day 9 at the Arogyalayam; Fasting - Day 5

For some reason, my stomach did a number on me this morning making me late to the Yoga class. Did the kriyas quickly as I have to go for a blood test. Sutra Neti through the right nostril is still a challenge for me.

My morning treatment today was mud bath again which I quite enjoy. I took several pictures on the way back to the room.

Checked with the floor doctor in the after noon. He suggested I do honey water fasting only one more day as we are leaving a day early. So, on Wednesday I will be on all day juice fasting and then all day fruit diet the following day to ease out of fasting. The blood test result showed little low on potassium. So the doctor advised I drink coconut water and take electrolyte solution.

I went for enema in the after noon and looks like my bowels are pretty clear. So, I’m not going to go for this any more. I also got the after noon treatment of Cold Hip Bath done. Today, there were yogic games in the evening. I participated in one of them. It was fun.
