The nine times of pratimarsha and their effects

Pratimarsha on rising clears the night's waste from nose and mouth and heavy sleepiness; on going out it wards off wind, sun, smoke and dust; after tooth-cleaning it firms the teeth, scents the mouth and stops severe pains; after day sleep it removes leftover sleep and heaviness of the head; after walking it removes fatigue and body pain; after urinating it clears the body; after vomiting it clears kapha from the throat and brings appetite; after meals it cleanses the channels. A footnote lists the nine times.
