7 Diseases You Can Cure With Yoga

We all know that yoga came into practice way before science discovered chemicals to cure diseases. There is no denying that even today, while living in a world of technological and medical advancement, many of us still practice yoga regularly for health benefits. It is a safe and effective way to increase physical activity and enhance strength, flexibility and balance.

Recent studies have proved yoga’s potential benefits as a technique for relieving stress and coping with chronic conditions or disabilities. Let’s look at seven disease which you can cure with regular practice of different yoga poses, or asanas.

1.    Asthma: The only sustainable cure for asthma is yoga. Daily practice of Pranayam and Anulom-vulom to get best results. However, unless you are cured, it is always advisable to keep your inhaler handy, in-case you get a sudden attack.

2.     Hypertension: High blood pressure can be caused due to many reasons and can be cured only by regular practice of meditative yoga asanas like the Pranayam.

3.    Indigestion: Indigestion is an epidemic among working people of the modern world. However, you can cure indigestion with medicines by trying the child pose, or wind relieving pose.

4.    Migraine: Migraine headaches are often caused because there is not enough blood supply to the brain. Yoga poses like Sirsasana or complete headstand have proved to cure migraine headaches. I assure it is a better solution than popping pain killers.

5.    Lower back pain: This has become a chronic disease among most working professionals today. People even undergo surgery for it. I suggest you try yoga poses like Tadasana or the tree pose to cure your back pain for good.

6.    Arthritis: Arthritis causes severe joint pain and is unfortunately incurable. Yoga, however, can help control the amount of pain caused due to arthrites. Try the Surya namaskar as a versatile way to cure arthrites pain.

7.     Liver problem: liver problem can range from minor ingestion to the severe fatty liver syndrome. You can practice some very basic yoga poses, like the bridge pose and cat pose, to increase the blood circulation in your abdomen and to keep your liver healthy.
