Premature skin aging and common skin issues like acne can be linked to stress and poor lifestyle. Habits such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, drug abuse, and an unhealthy diet, excess eating can play a role in causing these problems. Hormonal imbalance and digestive issues may also contribute to acne. With the help of specific yoga, asanas can achieve healthier skin. One such asana is Bhujangasana, also recognized as the Snake Stretch.
Bhujangasana, originating from the terms "bhujanga" meaning snake, and "asana" referring to pose, is a beneficial yoga posture for enhancing skin quality. It is often referred to as the Snake Stretch and is a component of both Suryanamaskar (Sun Pray Pose) and Padma Sadhana.
Practicing this pose regularly, benefits in stretching the spine, chest, and shoulders while promoting controlled breathing and concentration. Consistent incorporation of Bhujangasana and other yoga postures, combined with a health-conscious lifestyle and an effective skincare routine, may contribute to the gradual improvement of skin texture and radiance. It really works because I feel it personally.
