Hello friends...
I would like to share some simplified information and applicability of yoga in today's burning issue Sinusitis , hope this will be benefited.
UNDERSTANDING SINUSES:
* Sinuses consists of 4 pairs of air filled cavities behind & around eyes and nose
* They filter the air you breathe , keeping germs from getting into your lungs.
* So to combat these germs such as viruses that cause common cold , your sinus membrane swell, sometimes in response to these germs your sinuses can swell so that Ostia become blocked .
* Once these are blocked mucus cannot drain properly . Bacteria begin to breed inside the sinuses , causing a condition called Sinusitis.
APPLIED YOGA IN SINUSITIS :
*Sinusitis is the most common disease these days and many are afflicted by it. This can cause chronic ailment and gets worse in the winter. So in this case practising yoga poses can play major role in treating Sinusitis and it's associated problems..
* So let's discuss with some important yogic procedures here
1) JALANETI:
