Reduce Asthma Attacks with Yoga
THURSDAY, 26 APRIL 2007
Several studies have shown that yoga can be a powerful therapy in reducing the frequency and intensity of asthma attacks. Yoga is all about breathing and meditation. Likewise, it is also good for your lungs as it increases airflow, air capacity, stamina and efficiency.
Practicing different pranayama techniques can be beneficial to your health, especially if you have asthma. Poses such as back bending and inverted postures can help you.
Back bending postures help open the chest, which improves both lung and heart functioning while inverted postures, on the other hand, can help drain excess mucus from the lungs and balance the immune system.
