Human beings have always used this posture for elimination.   Infants of every culture adopt it instinctively.


Western Man switched to the sitting position about 150 years ago. Two-thirds of the world still uses the natural squatting position.



On Nature's Platform
the posture is stable and relaxed.

"The ideal posture for [evacuation] is the squatting position, with the thighs flexed upon the abdomen. In this way the capacity of the abdominal cavity is greatly diminished and intra-abdominal pressure is increased, thus encouraging expulsion ..."

The five-degree slope of Nature's Platform allows your feet to stay flat -- no need to balance on the balls of your feet.

If five degrees is not enough, you can use foam heel supports for a steeper slope.

PVC plastic, reinforced with eight feet of galvanized steel tubing, provides the strength and stability to support 300 pounds.

"I recommend Nature's Platform to all of my patients, especially to those who are plagued with chronic constipation, though this need not be the sole reason for using it. The health benefits of this position cannot be overstated. As a side benefit that I have not seen spoken of in the literature, the squatting position provides an excellent stretch for the low back and helps to stretch the ligaments and tendons of the ankles. I believe that Nature's Platform will contribute to the relief of many chronic low back problems."
