During the conversation with Local 18, Yoga trainer Gokul Bisht said that yoga with balanced diet and medicines also play an important role in fighting anemia. Regular practice of rugs like Vajrasana, Balasana and Bhujangasana makes the body strong from within and accelerates the process of blood formation. By doing these asanas a few minutes daily, gradually, the problem of anemia can be relieved and the body feels energetic. With all these yoga exercises, you will feel the difference in a week.
Vajrasana is considered the only posture to do after meals and is also called Diamond Pose. By doing Vajrasana, the digestive system is strengthened and blood circulation in the body is better. When digestion is good, nutrients like iron and folic acid will be absorbed well by the body. To perform this asana, sit on your knees, put body weight on the heel and keep the spine straight. Take a deep breath for some time and stay in this posture.
Balasana is also called Shishu Asana. This asana gives peace to the mind and relieves fatigue. While doing Balasan, the body is relaxed and the flow of blood transports to the entire body. This asana also strengthens liver and kidney, which helps to improve blood quality. To do Balasan, sit forward in the state of Vajrasana and apply the forehead to the ground. Spread both hands forward or keep it with the body. This posture also relieves stress, which indirectly relieves anemia.

Benefits of Bhujangasana
Bhujangasana is also called Cobra Pose. This asana strengthens the spinal cord and lungs. By doing this, the capacity of the lungs increases and the amount of oxygen in the body remains balanced. Getting more oxygen purifies blood and helps in increasing hemoglobin level. To do this, lie down on the stomach, keep the palms near the shoulders and slowly lift the chest up. During this, take a deep breath and stay in this posture for a few seconds. Bhujangasana is very effective in improving blood circulation.
