Regular practice of Yogasana, Pranayama and Mudra can not only protect your overall health but also minimize the impact of stress. This can help you step out of the vicious cycle of Psoriasis flare-ups and increased stress. Thus, the path of Yoga will take you away from sickness and stress while pointing the way to a healthy and fulfilling life.

How Yoga can fight Psoriasis?

1. Helps control stress: Psoriasis can be a terribly stressful disease. The constant discomfort along with ugly symptoms can take a toll on your mental health. With the help of Yoga, you can regain your mental calmness. This will reduce the impact of stress on the symptoms of Psoriasis.

2. Combats inflammation: The intense inflammation arising from the adverse autoimmune reaction is primarily responsible for the occurrence of Psoriasis. Studies have shown that people who practise Yoga regularly have better control over the level of inflammation. Yoga can help to moderate the activity of the immune system and reduce Psoriasis flare-ups.

3. Stimulates the mind and body: People don’t realize that the mind is often unprepared to undertake the prolonged fight against a particular disease. Thus, many people tend to give up hope while there is still a fighting chance. Yoga practice rejuvenates your mind and body, giving you the strength you need to fight Psoriasis.

Yoga for Psoriasis

1. Bhujangasana: Also known as ‘Cobra pose’, this Asana is the premier weapon in fighting stress and reducing Psoriasis flare-ups. Regular practice of this Asana tones the muscles in the arms, shoulders and the back. It also improves blood circulation, especially to the skin while reducing fatigue and enhancing stamina.

2. Sheetali Pranayama: Praised in classical Yogic texts like the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, this Pranayama is famed for its ability to regain youth and charm which may have been lost to disease or old age. Its potent cooling effect brings some relief from the irritation caused by Psoriasis and may help to minimize autoimmune inflammation in the skin.

3. Yoga Mudra: A Mudra is a symbolic gesture made using the fingers help you calm down. Yoga Mudra is designed to initiate and maintain mental balance. This would be highly beneficial if you are feeling stressed due to Psoriasis.
