Yoga Asanas for beauty

From trying various face/body packs to sitting hours at parlour, you might have done everything for your beautiful hairs and flawless skin. This can temporarily make you look better but the basic reason for body flaws remained unresolved. We often tend to ignore the basic reasons for skin related problems like acne and blemishes and try to scoop out the symptoms without treating the root cause.

             In our previous articles we have discussed various YOGA poses to maintain the body shape, along with body toning yoga poses, there are certain poses that can credibly add glow to your body and give a naturally beautiful skin and hairs. But before going to that section we need to understand the reason for dull and non-attractive skin/hairs. The major reasons for unhealthy skin/hairs could be:

1. stress condition,
2. medication,
3. poor blood circulation,
4. poor body cleansing process,
5. unhealthy food habits etc.

Stress factor and medication are the conditions where you may need the help of doctor or counsellor to improve the situation. In case, the reason be poor blood circulation or poor body cleansing process, one can really get benefited by YOGA. These magical yoga forms can help to increase the blood circulation and activates the necessary hormones/glands for smooth body functioning.
