The Bahishkrita Dhauti is to cleanse the stomach and intestines by means of air. It must be learnt from an expert.

Forming the lips like a crow’s beak, one should fill the belly with air and try to hold  it inside for a pretty long time and then evacuate the same through the rectum. Constant practice would be needed to master this feat.

Drink as much warm, salty water as would fill the stomach up to the throat. Then have the abdominal movements as taught by the teacher till the water goes down into the intestines.
