Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
ECG: Test will be used to assess Heart rate variability. Photoplethysmography (PPG) will be used to detect volumetric changes in blood in peripheral circulation. Timepoint: We will conduct four assessments on two separate days: (1) Vaman Dhauti Condition: Baseline assessment before performing Vaman Dhauti and post-intervention assessment immediately after. (2) Control Condition (Drinking Normal Water): Baseline assessment before drinking normal water and post-intervention assessment immediately after. These time points will help compare the effects of Vaman Dhauti with the control condition.	—
