Adho Mukha Vrksasana (Handstand) To Enhance Blood Circulation
The amazing health benefits of yoga are known across the globe. Right from cold and cough to arthritis, diabetes and other pain management issues, yoga has the cure for all.
Blood is one of the most important constituents of our body. A proper, stable blood circulation is necessary for maintaining the normal functioning of our body. When the blood circulation gets disturbed, it gives rise to several health issues like blood clots, nerve-related problems, swollen legs, etc.

There are several treatment options available to enhance blood circulation in the body. However, of all the medications, yoga, especially Handstand (Adho Mukha Vrksasana), has been proved to be one of the best options to enhance blood circulation.
The term "Adho Mukha Vrksasana" is derived from the Sanskrit words 'mukha' which means face, 'adho' which means downward, 'vrksa' which means tree and 'asana' which means pose.

As our face is faced downwards in the form of a tree, practising Adho Mukha Vrksasana ensures fresh supply of blood to our body.
Initially, practising this asana may be difficult for a beginner. Hence, it can be done with the support of a wall and this helps you overcome the fear of falling as well. Slowly you could perform the asana without any support at all.
Step-By-Step Procedure To Perform The Asana
1. Place your hands on the floor a few inches away from the wall.
2. The shoulders should be placed right over your wrists.
3. Bend one knee and lift the other leg. Once you are in a comfortable position, straighten the leg.
4. Slowly lift up the other leg and hold it till you are comfortable.
5. Ensure that your head is in between the upper arms.
6. Stay in the pose for a minute or two and take a deep breath.
7. Slowly bring your legs down one by one.
This asana might be a difficult one for the beginners initially, but once you get used to it, it becomes easy.
Other Benefits Of The Asana
Helps strengthen shoulders, arms and wrists
Helps relax the mind from tension and stress
Helps improve balance of the body and brings in stability
Helps stretch the stomach and belly
Helps treat those with mild depression
Caution
Those who have neck, back or shoulder injury should abstain from practising this asana. Also, those who have heart problems and high blood pressure should practice this asana only under the supervision of a yoga instructor.
