Baba Ramdev has taken the Pranayam Techniques from the himalayan caves to masses. If the patient does regularly every day Bhastrika Pranayam for 5 minutes Kapalbhati Pranayam for 20 minutes As infertility remedy Kapalbhati Pranayam is very effective. Anulom Vilom Pranayam for 30 minutes (Anulom Vilom should be practised by the patient as much as she can. This can be done upto 1 hr in the morning and 1 hr in the evening. It helps regulating the endocrine (hormonal) system.) The practice of Anulom Vilom Pranayam is advisable during pregnancy. Bhramari Pranayam for 2 minutes Udageetha Pranayam for 2 minutes she may not even have any need to take the medicines. ALL pranayams EXCEPT Bahya Pranayam should be practised during periods also. So pranayam is like a deep acting anti-miasmatic remedy that we have in homeopathy. But as two patients will do pranayam with different levels of sincerity there will also be a differential in what they gain. Testimonies of many women on cure of menstruation problems are given in the bookYog in Synergy with Medical Science The following is quoted from page 200 of the aforesaid bookSince last 2-3 years I used to have excess bleeding during my menstruation cycle. Doctors advised to remove uterus. I got scared as I already had three operations before. I kept consuming allopathic medicines. After 4-5 months there was no relief, my lady doctor suggested me to go to Swami Ramdevji. On February 2006 I took treatment from Ashram and started doing pranayam regularly, after 1-2 months I started getting relief and I got very confident that I can get cured without operation. When I got myself checked in July 2006, I actually found that there was no tumour in my uterus. I am really obliged to Swami Ramdevji that he helped me to get cured without operation in very short time. Saroj Gupta, Janak Puri, Delhi

As there cannot be any evidence of painful or profuse menstruation without underlying pathology like fibroid uterus, the case involving cure of fibroid uterus is cited. When Pranayam can cure fibroid uterus, can't it cure menstruation imbalances like painful menstruation or profuse menstruation? Testimony on Infertility and Fallopian Tube Blockage on page 201 Since last many years my menstruation cycle used to occur after 4-5 months and there was no ovulation of eggs in my ovaries. After getting a lot of treatment I was not getting any benefit from anywhere. Then I started prastising Pranayam as guided by Swami Ramdevji. After regular practice of Pranayam my menstruation cycle got regular. Then I got ovulation study done and I found that there was timely ovulation in my ovaries. I am very obliged to Swamiji.
