Herbs that purify the nadis through breathing
Regarding the use of herbs for purifying the nadis, the following is the
best advice I can give you in this area.
Herbs in this class include eucalyptus, most of the mint family (Labiatae;
also their natural extracts, e.g. peppermint menthol), camphor, and needles
of pine, fir, cedar, and similar conifers, all of which contain essences
that act to beneficially clean the nadis. These may be used in several ways,
most being designed to make the essence available aromatically, ie by
aspiration, in conjunction with prana drawn in from the atmosphere. The
essence in these plants is comprised partly of volatile physical substances,
and partly etheric matter, with both playing a role.
Transfer of these active materials into the prana conduit system of the body
takes place much more efficiently by means of using the pulmonary interface
of the lungs, rather than via the digestive system. This is the most direct
way to reach the pranic system, whether purely for pranayama, or for
aushadhi cleansing techniques. This is not to say methods of consuming
substances, etc., don't work, only that they take the long way around to
reach the destination.
A very good method is to put the aromatics (oils, extracts; crushed leaves,
needles, bark etc. of the plants), along with a little honey, into a water
pot, which is then gently heated, and the vapors are breathed through the
nostrils (only), during meditation. The intent is to draw in both prana and
the cleansing essences, along with oxygen in the air, which then all act
symbiotically to open and clear the nadis. The effectiveness is increased,
beyond simple breathing, by practicing a pranayama such as the deep
cleansing breath, at the same time.
It is no wonder that the more spiritually aware part of the Earth's
population mourn the losses we see taking place in our forests.
The enjoyment felt from particular aromatics when practicing this, and one's
personal preferences for which materials are used should be followed, and
practice should not be pushed beyond reasonable limits of comfort and
tolerance, or before long the effort may well become counter-productive. If
done in this way, and in the absence of allergic reaction to the materials,
this is a relatively safe approach for a healthy person.
As far as details on herbal preparations to awaken ida and pingala, etc.,
since you are already familiar with Swami Satyananda Saraswati's teachings,
you should then know that he specifically warns of the dangers involved in
this:
"There are herbs which can transform the nature of the body
and its elements, and bring about either partial or full
awakening, but they should never be used without a guru or
qualified guide. This is because certain herbs selectively
awaken ida or pingala and others can suppress both these
nadis and quickly lead one to the insane asylum. For this
reason, aushadhi [using these approaches] is a very risky
and unreliable method."
