Psoriasis or Eczema- Homeopathic treatment is unbeatable
– Some of the effective Yoga poses for Psoriasis and Eczema are:
– 1. Bhastrika:
With your hands resting on your knees and arms stretched straight, close your eyes and inhale deeply through both the nostrils. If a nostril is blocked for some reason, close it with your thumb or the two middle fingers and inhale with the other nostril. Follow this up with exhalation. Exhale deeply till you empty out all the stale air inside your lungs. Do this exercise for two to three minutes.
– 2. Agnissar:
Inhale deeply but slowly, pushing your stomach muscles outward, as if filling up your stomach with air. Exhale deeply right thereafter, pulling your stomach muscles inward, as if trying to pull your stomach in as close to your back as possible. Hold your breath here and move your stomach in and out vigorously as many times as possible, before releasing it and allowing air to fill up your lungs. Do this exercise three times, five times or 11 times, as prescribed.
– 3. Kapalbhati:
This is a double-nostril breathing exercise. This consists of a series of quick exhalations accompanied by an inward drawing motion of the stomach. You must sit in the same position as you did for bhastrika, to do this exercise. You must concentrate only on the exhalations; the inhalations take place involuntarily. Thus an exhalation and an inward stomach movement per second set the pace for KB. Do this continuously for five minutes without stopping. However, if you are a beginner, you may take anywhere between a few days to a few weeks to achieve this speed. You can start off slowly; maybe you can do it continuously for two to three minutes, stop, and then start again. You must work towards doing KB for 15 minutes at a time, with a rest period every five minutes.
