Some people don’t look forward to dental appointments any more than they
Look forward to visits to physician. Most dental procedure are not painful, however people having
anxiety going to the dentist people feel stressed. So dental anxiety & phobia are extremely common.
In survey by the British Dental Health Foundation 36 % of those who didn’t see a dentist
regularly said that - fear was the main reason. Fear of ‘pain ‘is main reason and so we developed the
“pain free dentistry”. The knowledge regarding science and practice of ayurvedic dentistry is limited
or none. But fact that this natural form of health care has been practiced for over 5,000 years and still
exists today in India .There are eight different ‘Specialties ‘recognized by Ayurveda, collectively
known as Astang Ayurveda amongst this specialties is “Shalakya Tantra''– Head and Neck surgery
within which dentistry/oral surgery from subsection and is known in Sanskrit as “ Danta-Shastra “

Have you an experience of toothache ?
“Toothache is as severe as scorpion bite!! ''
Patient with toothache experiences is severe, stabbing and persistent usually
Other pain are bearable but dental pain is described by ancient people that --“Toothache is as severe
as scorpion bite!! '' and so when teeth are effected from decay , mobility or any other of periodontal
problems .The dental surgeon suggest that your tooth can not ‘save’ and so only option is to removal
the tooth called in Sanskrit '' Dantotpatan ''. This is dental surgery and so begins from the preparing
From the surgical room to after surgery care is start. Now question is how teeth are extracted?
Generally The complete process of removing the affected tooth starts from Local Anesthesia. Pre-
operative tests and course of medicine, antibiotics etc. But I and my Guru was extracted million of
teeth without Anesthesia! I extract the tooth using the techniques Divine Yogic & Ayurvedic
“principles in India ''. This is an INDIAN ART.
Tooth Extraction without Anesthesia
Generally dentist remove the tooth with using local anesthetic injection ie lignocaine for controlling
the sensation of pain.
Basic Principles and techniques of tooth extraction without anesthesia using the Jalandhar Bandha
YOGA and theory for eliminating pain are below.
There is three Bandha described in yoga text
1. Jalandhara Bandha
2. Mulabandha
3. Udiyyan Bandha

Contracting the throat, the chin should be firmly placed on the chest.
This is known as Jalandhara Bandha YOGA . the destroyes (greatest enemy )
of old age and (premature death) Jalandhara Bandha yoga is also known as
the “chin lock” position. The main aim of this exercise is to create a chin lock,
by flexion of the neck downwards to the left side of the chest towards the
heart. If we try to trace the meaning of the word Jalandhara, " Jal " means
" Net ", in this case, we may assume as the net of Nadis (energy channels)
and the word " Dhara " means to stop or to hold the flow of the fluid (Amrut),
flowing through the nadis.
Traditionally my GURU Labhashankarji learn this techniques for extraction the
teeth by his guru kishoridas Gupta and Gyananadabharthiji.
I give the name of this yoga is “DIVINE SIDHA HASTA YOGA” !!!
this creates a lock which, in theory works by compression on the nervous
system and cardiovascular system to restrict blood flow and pain pathways
involving the head and neck. Important anatomy which is considered in this
theory is the Trigeminal, glossopharangeal and vagus nerves as well carotid
arteries and Carotid sinus nerve.
This position is a fundamental yoga posture to align all “Chakras” or energy
Points and important areas or systems of the body in order to control energy
Channels. with Jalandhar Bandha Yoga patient begins by sitting in this
position so all points are aligned centrally. As per Ayurvedic Tridosh
sidhhant the VAATA is controled and so the process of nerve impulses and the
control of the CNS are affiliated to air and thus Vata and therefore controlling
air(vata) will help to reduce pain. This is one of the important principles of
Jalndaha Bandha yoga. Without Vatta sensations of pain is not felt by the patient.
1. sit in Padmasana or Sukhasana- in any comfortable meditative posture.
2. Bend your neck a little forward.
3. Slowly place firmly your chin on chest (jugula knotch) so that when you
practice Pranayama with Kumbhaka, the inside retained air must not come out.
4. While returning, slowly raise your chin and straighten your neck.
Remember:
1. Practice it carefully under the guidance of a qualified teacher.
2. In the beginning practice it for few seconds only.
Benefits and Limitations:-
1. This B andha influences our vocal organs directly.
2. Those having complaint of pain in neck or spondilitis should not practice it.
Yoga Divine Sidha Hasta Yoga / Jalandhara Bandha and its application to allow toot Extraction
without the use of an anesthetic agent has been fascinating to explore Experience and evidences
suggest that does allow painless tooth extraction and allows no local anesthesia to be used. Cases
were seen (videos recording)with single and multiple extraction after Jalandhar Bandha Yoga with the
patient feelin Neither no pain nor showing major sign of pain. it would be unimaginable in Allopathic
dentistry to attempt this .but was done successful by ayurvedic dentist.
Steps of Tooth Extraction by Jalandhara Bandha Yoga
1.The patient is initially examined. A decision to extract the tooth is made
on several factors; the patient’s compliance to have a tooth extracted
without local anaesthetic, mobility of the tooth, access and ability to
grasp the tooth with forceps available.
Image 1
2.
The patient is instructed to sit on a low broad stool (Image 1) with the
legs crossed and back straight and hands resting on their knees(Pressure on
Ida-Pingala Nadi) (Image2).The low broad stool is to enable the dental surgeon
to maximize appropriate pressure in the right areas for JBY .
3.
The ayurvedic dental surgeon selects the appropriate forceps so that when the
JBY has been carried out the extraction can take place swiftly. With this
technique only upper forceps are used for both upper and lower teeth.
Upper forceps are more suited due to the dental surgeon approaching
the patient from above and behind .
4.
With the dental surgeon standing behind the patient, mild pressure is
placed on the centre of the skull with the index finger and middle finger
of the right hand. The palm of the left hand is placed below the mandible
With firm pressure for support (Image 2).
5.
Simultaneously the pressure is applied along the middle of the patient’s
spine (Shusumna Nadi ) with the dental surgeons left knee. Whilst
maintaining the pressure the patient’s head is moved up and down
between 4 to 6 times and then placed down towards the sternum,
contracting the neck and throat region (Image 3). The dental surgeon,
ready with the forceps, lifts the patients head upwards and backwards towards
the dental surgeon’s pubic region for support during the extraction (Image 4).
6.
The patient is then instructed to open their mouth. The forceps are applied to
the correct tooth, and with one swift motion, without causing trauma, the tooth
is extracted (Image 5).The whole process is very brief and can be over within a
minute. The ayurvedic dental surgeon is fully responsible for implementing the
Jalandhar Bandha neck block, so the patient does not require any prior
knowledge of the process .
7.
The patient is requested to gargle thoroughly with an ayurvedic medicine
post extraction (Image 6).
8.
The patient’s dental socket is then dressed with cotton coated in an
ayurvedic powder. The only post operative instructions
given are to refrain from eating or drinking very hot foods or drinks for the
next hour (5). Once haemostasis is achieved the patient is discharged.
Patient’s variables which influence successful pain free treatment
Success Rate: 86%
Post operative care
In the majority of cases, it was observed that the patient got up from the yoga position immediately
after the tooth was extracted – feeling no post operative pain and seeming surprisingly comfortable.
Observation and videos suggest that the procedure was indeed painless with no post operative pain
also after extraction patient would proceed to his routine activity.
Firstly to a bucket with a solution of raktastmabhak anti-bacterial ayurvedic medicine with water the
patient is asked to rinse out and gargle with the solution and spit out, this contradicts advice given
with allopathic extractions since gargling suggested to dislodge the blood clot formed after
haemostasis. This may also have a placebo affect on the patient since the patient immediately gargles
out in the solution believing that the solution has special properties and therefore helping them.
Content of the solution is gairik, majufala, trifala, sphatika, lodhra, and jethimadh
Secondly to the assistant who would administer a bite-pack or cotton wool which is soaked or applied
in a specific ayurvedic medicine said to have astringent and anti-bacterial properties made by the
kashish,trifala, sphatika, majufala and cold water. Jalandhar Bandh yoga is not to be done on patient
suffering from neck-pain or cervical Spondylitis, high blood pressure and kanishtha satva patient.
JBY is contradicted for child patient.
