Yoga breathing is really effective if you are looking for the treatments of anal fistula. To accomplish this exercise, you require raising both the hands and bringing down with exhalation. You need to do this for a time period of 5 minutes, take rest for some time and again continue the procedure for some time. This type of breathing is beneficial for the stimulation of bowel action.
