Observation #4 : Mucus dripping down the throat and Gases getting accumulated in stomach

Observation #4 : Mucus dripping down the throat and Gases getting accumulated in stomach


  • Below are 2 observations seen fairly regularly while performing the pranayama :

1. Feel the impurities and mucus tend to drip down through the throat. There is a tendency to clear the throat every once in a while.

2. Feel the gases getting accumulated in stomach as we do the kapalbhati and Bahya Pranayama.

I have the habit to produce a artificial burp hence can take out the gases. Even if I dont, the gases come out as a burp. No foul smell or anything. 

This has been regular observation now for past few weeks.

  • The average breadth length incl breathe in & out and excluding any retention times is around 35-40 sec for me.


  • Understanding also is that in bhastrika and anulom vilom, the breath in : breathe out ration has to be higher than 1:2 (i.e.,If you take in the breathe slowly for say 5 sec, then the breathe out needs to be slower than 10 sec)
