HOW
DOES THE PRACTICE
OF YOGA HEAL THE BODY?
The movements enhance circulation of both
blood and lymphatic fluids. Allowing body tissues to move out the toxins
and receive fresh nutrients.
Various deep breathing exercises enrich the blood supply with oxygen,
our number one nutrient (deficit of oxygen in people lowers the efficiency
of the immune system and give the upper hand to anearobic bacteria,
resulting in various degenerative diseases)
Relaxation techniques lower stress levels in muscles,
the nervous system and mind
Stretches in YOGA release tension from muscles
and joints
Development of mental clarity and focus brings
concentration of intent and applies to healing and manifestation
Spiritual awareness brings the realization of
our eternal nature and subsequent peace of mind
How Can Yoga Help to Treat Endometriosis?
Yoga can help alleviate common endometriosis symptoms, namely, pain.
Women with endometriosis can experience such pain-related symptoms as
painful periods, pelvic pain and pain during intercourse. It can also
help to alleviate fertility problems that are a result of endometriosis.
It is believed that yoga can minimize pain by helping the pain centre
located in the brain to stabilise the gate-controlling mechanism that
is found in the spinal cord, as well as the secretion of painkillers
that are naturally released by the body.
Breathing exercises are used in yoga to help minimize pain since deep
exhalation promotes relaxation, while reducing tension. Increased awareness
of breathing also helps alleviate pain associated with endometriosis
while promoting calm and overall mental and physical health. In addition,
reduced stress levels have been linked to improved fertility.
