– Balances nasal airflow: Helps open blocked nostrils and improve sinus drainage by regulating breath flow through both nostrils. – Reduces inflammation and stress: Promotes relaxation, reducing stress-induced sinus flare-ups and enhancing immune function to fight infections.
– Clears nasal congestion: The rapid exhalations help expel mucus, toxins, and allergens from the nasal passages, reducing sinus blockages. – Improves oxygen circulation: Enhances blood flow to the brain and sinuses, promoting faster healing and reducing inflammation.
– Stimulates sinus drainage: The upward arching of the chest encourages blood flow to the head, promoting drainage and relief from sinus congestion. – Opens the chest: Expands the lungs and chest, allowing deeper breaths which may help in clearing nasal passages.
– Relieves pressure on the sinuses: The backward bending of the body helps open the chest and throat, relieving sinus pressure. – Improves circulation to the face and head: Increases blood flow to the head, which can help alleviate sinus congestion.
– Calms the nervous system: Helps reduce stress and tension, which can exacerbate sinus issues. – Promotes drainage: The forward fold encourages fluid drainage from the head, aiding in clearing blocked sinuses.
– Opens the chest and sinuses: Lifting the chest opens the upper body, promoting better airflow through the sinuses. – Stimulates circulation to the head: The pose enhances blood flow to the face and head, supporting sinus function.
– Increases blood flow to the sinuses: The inversion helps encourage blood flow to the head, promoting sinus drainage. – Relieves congestion: The pose helps open the nasal passages and reduce the feeling of stuffiness.
