Yoga Is Beneficial For Treating Hemorrhoids
Yoga is a great workout with a lot of health benefits but did you know that it could
also treat homorrhoids? Who would have thought that hemorrhoids and yoga can be found in the same sentence? Hemorrhoids are inflamed blood vessels near the anus and doing yoga poses can help improve blood circulation and reduce inflammation. Yoga also provides a lot of benefits to improve overall health.
People hate having hemorrhoids and yoga can be used to prevent and treat them. The following yoga poses will help you cope with having piles. The candle pose, or supported shoulder stand, improves blood circulation. It also promotes proper liver, thyroid and immune functions. Lie down on your back on a thick mat or folded blanket, making sure that your upper back is properly supported by the mat so it wont hurt. Raise your legs up towards the sky and keep your legs closed. Lift your hips off the mat and use your hands to support your hips or lower back. Aim for the legs being perpendicular to your upper body and the floor. Hold for as long as you want.
Inverted yoga poses promote better blood circulation. A more advanced inverted pose is the supported headstand. This pose also improves pineal and pituitary gland function. Again, use a thick mat or blanket to support your head. Kneel on your mat or blanket and bend forward to place the top of your head on your mat. Place your forearms on both sides of your head and clasp your hands behind your head. Lean forward to shift the weight onto your head and arms while raising your legs up towards the sky. Try to achieve a straight line with your body and hold the pose for as long as you want.
An easier inverted pose is the legs up pose. Place your mat against a wall and lie down. Your pelvis should be propped against the wall so that only your upper body is on the mat and your legs are against the wall. This is a very easy pose and you can do this everyday to prevent hemorrhoids.
The fish pose offer the same benefits as the candle pose with added tension relief in the shoulders. Use a yoga mat and lie on your back while keeping your legs straight and your arms to your side. Press your chest off the floor while pushing onto the top of your head. Tilt your chin back, keep your arms by your side or under your lower back and hold the pose for at least 30 seconds. Do 1-3 reps.
There are more simple poses that you can do that does not require as much strength and flexibility as the previous poses. Stand with feet together and bend at the waist to reach your toes, or your knees. This is called the forward fold. Doing squats will prevent and treat constipation. Go into a squat position and hold for as long as you can. It is easy to prevent and treat haemorrhoids, and yoga is just one of the things you can do to be piles-free.
