If the auditory nerve of your mother’s left ear has been diagnosed as clinically dead, I’m afraid there is nothing Yoga can do to revive it. Yoga can, at best, restore impaired nerves, muscles and cellular structures not revive dead ones. Still, it is not too late to take up Yoga practice.
You shouldn’t restrict the Yoga practices only to the region of the face and head, for Yoga is a complete, holistic science and art of living that takes into account all aspects and factors of health. Moreover, all the practices are designed to affect and treat each and every, minutest cell of the body. Furthermore, Yogic practices are designed to soothe and calm the mind and heart and heart as well, for Yoga believes that is where all vyadhis (diseases and ailments) originate.
True you would have to give most importance to certain Kriyas (cleansing techniques) such as:
1. Karana Randhra Dhauti (cleansing the auditory cavities)
2. Vaman Dhauti (cleansing the stomach by vomiting clear water on an empty stomach)
3. Jala Neti (cleansing the nasal passages with saline water)
4. Sutra Neti (cleansing the nasal passages with a rubber catheter)
Remember, at all stages of the practices, to exercise the utmost care and caution, since the person’s condition is already delicate. Your mother must learn the art of doing all the above kriyas from a specialized, qualified and experienced Yoga instructor, preferably in a Yoga institute of repute.
She can also do the following asanas (Yoga poses) in all the following positions:
Standing
• Tadasana (Palm Tree pose)
• Trikonasana (Triangle Pose)
• Padangusthasana (Toe to hand pose)
• Parvatasana (Mountain pose)
Sitting
• Gomukhasana (Cow face pose)
• Marichyasana (Pose dedicated to the sage Marichi)
• Simhasana (Lion pose – please do more of this pose than any other)
• Ushtrasana (Camel pose)
Supine
• Single Leg and Double Leg Raises
• Matsyasana (Fish pose)
• Navasana (Boat pose)
• Pawanmuktasana (Wind relieving pose)
Prostrate
• Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward Dog pose)
• Bhujangasana (Cobra pose)
Inverted
• Viparita Karani (Legs against the wall pose)
• Sarvangasana (Shoulder Stand)
Balancing
• Kakasana (Crow pose)
• Vrikshasana (Tree pose)
Pranayamas (breathing exercises)
1. Kapalabhatti (Skull cleansing)
2. Anuloma-Viloma (Alternate Nostril Breathing)
3. Ujjayi (Ocean breath)
4. Suryabhedana (Right Nostril breathing)
Yogic diet
Yoga – and Ayurveda – believes that physical ailments are largely the result of wrong lifestyle, stress and tension but, largely, also on account of improper diet. These physical indispositions are further aggravated by wrong diet. Hence, it would help your mother, a great deal to stick to a Yogic diet, one that is Sattvic (light and predominantly vegetarian). She should also have lots of salads and fruit and fewer cooked foods as natural foods help decontaminate and detoxify the system faster. She must also have plenty of curd (yoghurt) and buttermilk, but avoid milk and milk products like butter and cheese. Likewise she should also avoid all confectionery products, junk / fast foods and above all, spicy foods (they’ll only worsen her problem), cigarettes and all forms of intoxication, no matter how light, including wine, beer and alcopops.
