Health benefits of Bhastrika Pranayama

Bhastrika Pranayama is a fast exhalation and inhalation technique frequently referred to as the ‘breath of fire’ in yoga. It gives you great energy and improves the oxygen flow in your blood. Bhastrika Pranayama is ideal for your body whether you are physically weary with constant exercise or mentally agitated. Here you will get to know about Bhastrika Pranayama benefits and its dos and don’ts.

 

 

Benefits of Bhastrika Pranayama for the Skin

Bhastrika Pranayama boosts the oxygen flow to the skin, removing all built-up toxins from circulation. The blood is purified from the vigorous expulsion of undesirable pollutants, resulting in healthy and radiant skin. Skin health and radiance depend on the oxygen flow in the blood, and Bhastrika can optimise blood flow.

 

Benefits of Bhastrika Pranayama for the Brain

For those suffering from depression and anxiety, it is important and useful to practise Bhastrika Pranayama daily. This will help you get rid of all your mental struggles. It is a more effective alternative than powerful drugs and is a safe way to manage mental stress, anxiety, and depression. Numerous mental advantages include reviving and soothing the mind, increasing memory, and sharpening concentration. It improves the way the central nervous system works, improving the motor system, especially for children.

 

 

Benefits of Bhastrika for Losing Weight

Warmth and heat are produced by quick, forceful breathing and expiration. Bhastrika Pranayama is proven to enhance respiratory and cardiovascular functioning, despite the fact that there is no scientific evidence to support this claim. The body’s metabolism is boosted by the increase in oxygen supply. Faster metabolism aids in rapid weight loss by burning bodily calories more quickly. For best results, consistently practising is crucial.

 

Benefits of Bhastrika for Heart

The regular practise of Bhastrika Pranayama may balance heart rate. It also regulates blood pressure. However, people with heart ailments should seek a doctor’s advice before practising this pranayama as it may adversely affect such patients.

 

 

Indulging in Bhastrika Pranayama

Following are the steps to execute the Bhastrika Pranayama effectively.

Step 1: Sit in the Vajrasana position.
Step 2: Breathe in deeply and exhale quickly without exerting too much effort.
Step 3: Immediately after exhaling, take a breath in. Before exhaling, hold your breath for 5 seconds.
Step 4: Breath in and out deeply and repeatedly using the diaphragm muscles.
Step 5: Inhalation causes the abdomen to expand and the diaphragm to lower. You can somewhat exaggerate this.

 

Bhastrika Pranayama should be done ten times in a single round.

Risk of Bhastrika Pranayama

Before starting Bhastrika Pranayama, one should weigh the risks of doing it.

• Bhastrika Pranayama should be performed with caution if you have any lung issues.
• Bhastrika Pranayama should ideally be done gently and with professional supervision if you have heart problems.
