What are the benefits of yoga stretching?

Nowadays, many women pay more attention to health preservation, especially more and more people practice yoga, and yoga studios everywhere are very popular. Practicing yoga can not only play a good role in weight loss, but also beautify the body and improve the overall state of a person. Especially in yoga practice, stretching has many benefits. It can not only open up the meridians, but also has the effect of detoxification. Let me tell you in detail about the benefits of yoga stretching!

The therapeutic effects of stretching are relieving pain, detoxifying and enhancing sexual function. The direct therapeutic effects of stretching are relieving pain, detoxifying and enhancing sexual function, and the indirect therapeutic effects are innumerable. What is the principle?

first

The direction of the twelve tendon meridians is the same as that of the twelve meridians, so the meridians are also blocked where the tendons are contracted, and pain occurs when the meridians are blocked. During stretching, there will be pain in the hips, inner thighs, popliteal fossa, etc., which means that the muscles in these areas are contracted and the corresponding meridians are blocked. Stretching the tendons makes them soft and allows the misalignment of the spine to be restored, so that "the bones are straight and the tendons are soft, and the qi and blood flow naturally", thus eliminating or alleviating the pain, numbness, and swelling in the waist, knees, limbs, and all parts of the body;

Secondly

Stretching can open up the Du channel and bladder meridian in the back, which is of great significance to health, because the Du channel is the meeting point of all yang and the channel of vital energy. When this channel is unblocked, kidney function is strengthened. The kidney is the innate foundation and the source of essence and energy. A person's energy and sexual ability depend on strong kidney function. The Du meridian is on the spine, and the spinal cord goes directly to the brain marrow, so there are close connections between spinal and brain diseases. The Ren and Du meridians form a circulation loop in the human body, and this is the meaning of the Ren and Du meridians that various exercises aim to open up. The bladder meridian is the body's largest detoxification system and an important barrier against wind and cold. If the bladder meridian is unobstructed, wind and cold will be difficult to invade, internal toxins can be discharged at any time, and symptoms such as obesity, constipation, acne, and pigmentation will naturally be eliminated or alleviated. The bladder meridian is also the location of the acupoints of the internal organs, that is, each acupoint on the bladder meridian on both sides of the spine has the same name as the internal organs. Unblocking the bladder meridian is naturally beneficial to all the internal organs. According to Western medical theory, the main nerves and blood vessels connecting the brain and internal organs are attached to the spine and the bones on both sides of it. By clearing the spine up and down, you will naturally clear away many visible fortresses, obstacles and invisible mines and traps.

at last

Stretching softens and improves the liver, spleen and kidney meridians on the inner thigh. Many medical books say that if these three meridians are unobstructed, a person's sexual function will be strong. Therefore, some books encourage people to practice splits, but this is too difficult for ordinary people. Stretching is still the most convenient. The obstruction of these three meridians is also the cause of reproductive and urinary system diseases, such as impotence, premature ejaculation, prostatitis in men, dysmenorrhea, irregular menstruation, pigmentation, uterine fibroids, breast hyperplasia, etc. in women. Therefore, if men want to enhance their sexual ability or women want to cure various gynecological diseases, one of the simplest and most effective ways is stretching.

Stretching is both a treatment and a diagnosis. For example, if your knees hurt and cannot be straightened when you stretch, you definitely have contracture. Contraction first of all indicates that the liver meridian is blocked, because the liver controls the tendons. If the liver meridian is blocked, the spleen and stomach will not be healthy, because the liver belongs to wood and the spleen belongs to earth, and wood overcomes earth. If you feel pain in your hips or popliteal fossa (back of the knee), it means that your bladder meridian is blocked and you have problems with your waist. The bladder and kidneys are mutually exterior and interior, and they both control water. If the bladder is not smooth, the kidney meridian will also be blocked. Edema, obesity, frequent urination, diabetes, etc. are all related to this. If you lie down and raise your arms behind you and your arms cannot touch the bench, it indicates shoulder periarthritis. Some people, when lying on the stretching bench, cannot straighten the raised leg and the falling leg hangs in the air and cannot touch the ground, indicating severe muscle contraction. Not only do they have low back and leg pain, but they may also have many problems with their internal organs.

The above are the benefits of yoga stretching. After reading the editor’s introduction, I believe you have a clearer understanding of the benefits of yoga stretching. If you also like to practice yoga, you can do stretching training appropriately. Stretching is of great significance to health, but it should be noted that when you first start practicing, it is best to ask a professional teacher for guidance and don’t practice blindly.
