Steps

1.Sit in a cross-legged position.

2.Inhale through the left nostril, by closing the right to the count of 3.

3.Immediately exhale through the right nostril to the count of 6.

4.Retain the breath outside or in other words remain breathless to the count of 12.

5.Repeat the pranayama with the same count from the right nostril.

- smoking for the last 30 years, for the last one month i am trying to give it up.

i am now practising to smoke after 3 hours, some time 6 hours continuously -

become addictive to smoke. Vigorously trying to give it up.

- problem is met two serious road accidents one in 1996, another one in 2001 in

Chennai after coming from Bangalore

- diabetec type 2 detected during 2007 and gave GB 1 mg twice daily;

- when pain in the ankle and cramp, and dysfunctional of erection besides diabetec,

then Dr.advised me that

it is due to blockage/no proper flow of blood to foot and since 2011 medicines are taken -

amaryl m2 for diabetec twice daily, for blood flow - rexite plus 2 cap twice daily,

gebecasic M tab 1/2 twice daily.

Present situation is : sole become soft like sponge when putting on the floor,

crampness of fingers, burning sensation, no grip on the floor/sandal.I am having

A DIABETEC WITH NEUROPATHY.

At present, diabetec level is 80 fasting, 160 pp,

- instead of going to Dr, i am trying to give up SMOKE, if i go to Dr, he will certainly

instruct and advice me to give up SMOKE to avoid these problems and further

damage to my feet.

- I am trying to find out the alternate medicine even if i smoke some extent. I used earlier

the Ayurvedic and Sidda

medicines as per friends advise, but it gave me a lot of gastric after one or two times

taking medicine and

so i have thrown out all of them since no refund nor taking back the medicines are

available;

I am leaving the issue to you to decide and advise me keeping in view the problems that

(a) name of medicine or juice or a suitable YOGA
