News India Live, Digital Desk: The impact of today’s stressful life and deteriorating eating habits is clearly visible on our health, especially the health of women. Irregular periods or periods not coming on time have become such a common problem that almost every other woman is troubled by. For this, frequent visits to the doctor and taking medicines are often tiring. But do you know that an easy and effective solution to this problem is available in your home itself? Yes, we are talking about yoga.
Yoga is not just for making the body flexible, but it plays a huge role in balancing the internal systems of our body, especially hormones. When we do yoga, it reduces stress levels, improves blood circulation in the pelvic region (lower abdominal region) and the hormone producing glands start functioning properly. This is the reason why some special yoga asanas can help in curing the problem of irregular periods from its root.
Let us know about 3 such easy yogasanas which you can easily do at home.
1. Malasana (Garland Pose)
As simple as this asana looks, it is equally beneficial for women. It works directly on the lower stomach.
How to do:
- Stand straight by keeping some distance between the legs.
- Now slowly sit down by bending your knees, like you are doing a squat. Keep in mind that your toes remain on the ground.
- Place both elbows on the inside of the knees and join hands in prayer posture.
- Try to keep the waist and spine straight.
- Stay in this position for 30 seconds to 1 minute and keep breathing normally.
Why is it beneficial: By doing Malasana, the pelvic area gets stretched and blood circulation increases. It helps in keeping the uterus healthy and controlling hormones.
2. Baddha Konasana (Butterfly Pose)
This asana is also called butterfly asana and it is no less than a boon for women’s health.
How to do:
- Sit on the floor and keep your spine straight.
- Now bend the knees and join the soles of both the feet together.
- Try to bring the heels as close to the body as possible.
- Hold the toes of the feet with both hands.
- Now slowly move both your knees up and down like butterfly wings.
- Do this for 1 to 2 minutes.
Why is it beneficial: This asana opens up the thighs and hips, relieves tension and improves blood flow to the reproductive organs, which helps in regularizing periods.
3. Dhanurasana (Bow Pose)
This asana gives the body the shape of a drawn bow and is considered very good for the abdominal organs.
How to do:
- Lie down on your stomach.
- Now bend your knees and try to hold your ankles with your hands.
- Breathing in, lift your chest and thighs off the ground.
- Your body should look like a bow.
- Stay in this position for 15 to 20 seconds and keep breathing normally.
- Then while exhaling, slowly come back to normal position.
Why is it beneficial: Doing Dhanurasana massages the abdominal organs, reduces stress and is very effective in balancing hormones.
One important thing: The effect of yoga happens gradually, so make these asanas a part of your daily routine and be patient. If your problem is very serious, then along with yoga, it is very important to consult a doctor. Yoga is a supportive therapy, not a cure for any disease.
