Ayurveda is the science of life! So many specialties of this ancient science is long forgotten. But there are still some people who learn and practice few specialties of Ayurveda which passes from generation to generation by Guru Shishya Parampara i.e. Teacher Student relationship.
The unique science of Jalandhar Bandha is a very small example of this. This is a unique method by which Ayurvedic dentists used to extract teeth without causing any pain and minimal bleeding which followed by rapid healing of the extraction wound. In this method we don’t use any anesthesia or herbal preparation but only use yogic method of Jalandhar bandha.
I, Dr. Hiren S. Yagnik, learnt this science from our legendary Guru Shree Labhshankar F. Shukla, who spread this art throughout his life to more then 100 Ayurvedic physicians.
I am lucky to be in the last batch of students who learnt in from himself before he left this world!
