Pranayama – an Effective Yoga Technique for Blood Purification

Pranayama is one of the effective forms which is practiced in yoga particularly for improving the circulation of blood and for blood purification. This technique is especially beneficial for the people whose job include sitting for longer durations. Due to continuous sitting the blood tends to accumulate at the lower parts of the body and makes it difficult to venous return. This results in the accumulation of impure blood which failed to return to the heart in legs and feet, which leads to serious health problems like veracious veins or spider veins. Since pranayama improves the circulation as well as helps in purifying the blood it is an effective medicine for such kind of problems.

The technique of pranayama involves taking of deep breath by following particular procedure of closing and opening of nostrils at regular intervals. Practicing pranayama regularly by gradually increasing the time spent each day for doing this yogic technique prevents all kinds of respiratory disorders and lung related problems.

Doing pranayama under the expert guidance and a clean, peaceful and tidy environment which is free from pollution and has lots of fresh air shows greater impact than practicing at home. Taking deep breaths in fresh air helps the body in taking more air full of oxygen. This oxygen present in the blood thoroughly cleanses and purifies the blood, calms the mind, soothes anxiety and stress, improves circulations and promotes clear thinking.

Blood flowing in the arteries and veins through out the body will get purified with the increased levels of oxygen in the blood. This helps in the continuous flow of the blood through all the tissues in the body, prevents accumulation of waste blood in the lower parts of the body and finally makes the person healthy. Regular practice of pranayama under the guidance of an expert trainer helps in the better understanding of the concept and is a greater way of practice.
