Constipation

All of us have suffered this problem from time to time. Sometimes it’s just hard to go. Moreover, all those pills they have on the market to help to get things moving are often quite painful. What about a free, non-invasive solution to your number two problems?

Yoga can help in this instance, as well! We have talked over and over about how yoga activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which is also known as the rest and digest system because it helps the body enter a relaxed state as well as supports the act of digestion. Practice also stimulates the process of peristalsis, which is what helps waste products move throughout the body.

Scoliosis

Scoliosis occurs when you have any curvature to the spine. Again, this is a common condition that can cause extreme pain. What if there was a way to reduce the pain that came at no cost to you?

Look no further than yoga. Earlier in this article, we talked about how yoga can help to build up the muscles of the arms, legs, core, and back. By strengthening those muscles that run along the spine, yoga can help reduce the pain felt due to the unnatural placement of the spine.

Sciatica

This term is a pain associated with the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back into the legs. The most common causes of sciatica are a herniated disk or a bone spur pressing on the nerve.

As was just mentioned, yoga helps to strengthen the muscles in both the back and the legs, which could ultimately lower the amount of pain one feels due to this pinched nerve.

Chronic Bronchitis

Bronchitis is caused by inflammation of the bronchial tubes, which is what carries oxygen to the lungs. When the condition becomes chronic, it means that the swelling has lasted a significant amount of time.

Yoga helps to aerate the lungs as well as helps to lower inflammation found throughout the body. The key here is to find exercises that elevate respiration, but that also increases oxygen levels in the body; yoga can do both things.
