Benefits of shirshasana: Yoga and exercise is very important for healthy diet to stay healthy. On International Yoga Day, when we talk about the benefits of yogasanas, ‘headstand’ is specially remembered. It is called the ‘king of posture’, because it benefits the whole body from head to foot. In this posture, the person’s head is down and the feet are up. Due to this, blood flows in the opposite direction i.e. towards the head, which gives more oxygen to the brain. This can reduce problems like headache, stress and depression. Practicing this asana daily also increases confidence and concentration. Also, many benefits are also available. Let’s know about the benefits of headstand-
The headstand is extremely beneficial for the brain. Its practice increases blood flow towards the head, which gives more oxygen and nutrition to the brain. It improves memory, concentration and thinking ability. It is also helpful in reducing stress, anxiety and depression. It strengthens mental balance.
First rest your feet with the help of the wall and slowly move them upwards on the wall. During this time, keep your weight on the hands, so that the balance of the body remains. Then keep your head carefully on the mat and gradually lift the feet up, so that the body can come to the right position of the headstand. It is very important to maintain balance while doing this asana, in which your arms and shoulders help. Initially it is better to resort to the wall, it makes it easy and safe to do asanas.
Blood circulation will be better: Blood circulation in the body is better by doing headstand, especially towards the head. When we stand upside down, blood flow increases from the heart to the brain, causing blood pressure to remain balanced. Its effect is also visible on the skin and hair, the skin glows, hair loss is less and many skin related problems also start to get away.
The muscles will strengthen: This posture strengthens the muscles of the hands and shoulders, because the entire body is on them. It also gives strength to the neck, head and back muscles and helps to maintain balance.
– Although the headstand gives many benefits, but some people should be careful before doing it. Those who have blood pressure problems, they must consult a doctor before doing this asana. People troubled by migraine or persistent headache should stay away from this asana, because it can increase trouble. This asana is not safe even for pregnant women, so they should not practice it. Apart from this, if someone has any problem related to the spinal cord, then they should also avoid having heads.
