More than 300 inmates of Sabarmati Central Jail attended a workshop on naturopathy on Sunday morning where experts imparted knowledge of the subject and also answered the inmates' questions on health. The naturopaths have expressed interest in regular interaction at state prisons.According to jail officials, a team of naturopaths led by Mukesh Patel, a city-based naturopath and educator, visited the jail on Sunday. "The team talked about regular lifestyle, benefits of yoga and pranayam and proper posture to keep illness at bay. While we follow a fixed diet in jail, not much can be done on that front. But simple steps such as standing erect against the wall for 10-15 minutes after meals and using vaayu mudra regularly would help digestion," said a prison official.Patel said that most of the questions posed by the inmates were related to indigestion, lack of sound sleep, lack of concentration and gastric troubles. "We got a good response and are encouraged by it," he said.
