Keep blood pressure in control by practicing yoga
By Gauri Sharma
The healing power of yoga has been known for centuries. In India, yoga is used to treat many diseases and conditions. It combines body, mind and spirit and synchronizes them to one entity instead of three separate ones. This allows for healing to be received and accepted. Thousands of people have been able to control their blood pressure by using yoga and practicing asanas.
To control high blood pressure, forward bends are the most effective. They can help you lower the blood pressure. These exercises also have a calming effect on the brain; the blood circulation to the brain is normalized, and stress is reduced from the sense organs, which lowers the blood pressure. The entire sympathetic nervous system and sense organs are relaxed, and pulse rate decelerate at the same time, that stabilizes the blood pressure.
Other asanas that have beneficial effects on the nervous system and help you lower blood pressure are Uttanasana and Adhomukha Svanasana. These asanas help in free circulation of blood into the aortic arch, thus helping to maintain a normal blood pressure.
Baddhakonasana and Virasana are some of the sitting asanas which can be practiced in order to get a lower blood pressure by the hypertensives, which in most cases are hard breathing. These poses eliminate the tension from the ribs and the intercostal muscles, so they help you to breathe with no difficulty, and normalize the blood pressure.
Other useful poses are supine poses, like Supta Baddhakonasana, which, by relaxing the abdominal region, and so the entire body, bring calm on the nerves.
