Yoga is a safe and alternate therapy for ensuring the overall well-being of a person as it is endowed with physical and spiritual healing powers. Taking out some time from one’s hectic daily schedule, one can practice the relaxing asanas and breathing exercises of yoga to achieve a rejuvenating and a healthy experience. Moreover, yoga helps in connecting a person with his inner energies thereby leading to physical, emotional and psychological well being of a person. Headaches are a common ailment in today’s world and they can be caused by various factors like stress, exhaustion, eyestrain, allergies and others. Instead of getting addicted to analgesics, one can try the harmless and effective therapy of yoga which can help in the effective treatment and prevention of headaches.
There are various yogic asanas and breathing exercises available for the problem of headaches. One of them includes Adho Mukha Svanasana which includes pushing one’s butt up towards the ceiling. Then one should push one’s hands and heels of feet into floor and let the head hang downwards. Pull belly button up into spine and breathe deeply. This helps in relieving pain and discomfort associated with headaches. Another exercise which can help during headaches is one which is known as the reclining pose. In this, one should gently roll one’s torso back to floor and close eyes and breathe deeply. Then one should close one’s eyes tightly followed by wide opening of one’s eyes. Roll eyes up and down and side wards. Rub heels of palm together until warm and place it gently over the eyes. This helps in relaxing your mind thereby removing all tensions and worries which might be leading to headaches.
Along with yogic asanas, one should also practice the simple inhalation and exhalation breathing exercise to calm and relax one’s mind. Performing alternate nostril breathing can be quite effective in subsiding the problem of headache. Thus, one can follow some simple yoga steps to relieve one from the discomfort of headaches.
