Yoga poses do not cure diabetes in the strict sense of the word. Some poses activate the thyroid glands. Some, by flexing the spine, stimulate nerve impulses to the pancreas, some massage the pancreas, while others affect the whole metabolism in manner as to provide the healing energies of fresh circulation to the pancreas.

Jalnaneti

Most diseases of the nose and throat are caused by the accumulation of impurities in the nasal passage. Jalaneti cleanses the air passage of nostrils and the throat by washing them with tepid saline water.
