Anulom-Bilom:
Inhale through the left nostril and exhale through the right nostril. This filling and purgative process is Anulom-Bilom. First sit in sukhasana left Padmasana. Now close the right nostril with the thumb of the right hand and inhale slowly through the left nostril. As soon as the inhalation is complete, close the left nostril with the ring finger and little finger and exhale through the right nostril. This air intake or exhaust should be very fast.
As soon as the act of acceptance ends, the act of relinquishment will begin. This action be done 10-15 times daily. But whenever you feel tired, rest and do it again and start it just before sunrise.
Acupressure:
The point between the index finger and the middle finger should give us pressure. The pressure point between two fingers is very beneficial for the eyes. Pressing on the pressure point should not be too hard but should slowly with medium speed. If pain is felt on the pressure point while pressing, it should be understood, that there is a disease of the organ related to the pressure point.
Acupressure can be done at any time. Depending on the disease, pressure points can be done for up to two minutes. Continuous pressure should not be applied to the same point. The time to apply pressure on the points depends somewhat on the patient’s tolerance. If constant pressure hurts, do not apply too much pressure.
The process of turning the eyes in different directions:
Eyes should look along the two diagonals. First, do 5 times from left side to right side after 5 seconds rest then do 5 times from right side to left side. This should be done 3-4 times by changing the eyes.
Eyes should look from top to bottom. Both eyes should look from top to bottom following the picture above. repeat from top to bottom 5 times after resting for 5 seconds. This should be done 3-4 times.
Both eyes should look from right to left and from left to right. After moving the eyes from right to left 5 times, rest for 5 seconds and repeat this 3-4 times.
Both eyes should rotate around. If you start rotating from the right side. After rotating 5 times, rest for 5 seconds and start again from the left side. this should be done 3-4 times.
If you get into the habit of doing these exercises daily, you will notice a change in your eyes within 1 month.
