Yoga for Heartburn/Acid Reflux
Yoga as a form of meditation has been around for a very long time. Even though it's not quite as popular today in its original form as it used to be, there are different forms of yoga that you still hear about in the media.
What many people don't know though is that yoga can also be used to cure your heartburn/acid reflux.
Even for sufferers of the more severe type of heartburn/acid reflux such as GERD, yoga has been proven to help prevent, if not eliminate, the heartburn/acid reflux symptoms. Before starting yoga, what is important for you to remember is that whilst it can help many ailments, it should not be seen as the sole treatment for an ailment.
So how does yoga help reduce your heartburn/acid reflux? Well, for a start, yoga reduces both your stress and anxiety levels. As both of these are present in our everyday life and some heartburn sufferers feel their stress and anxiety levels increase at the realization they have just eaten something that usually triggers their heartburn/acid reflux, anything you can do to reduce your stress and anxiety is a good step forward.
The more your body is relaxed (with the exception of your LES since if this relaxes too much it's not good), the more your body can function as it should function.
Although most yoga positions are beneficial, there are some that will help prevent your heartburn/acid reflux more than others. These positions are the relaxation ones such as Corpse Pose, as well as the general Relaxation Pose. In particular, you may find the Pavanamuktasana (or the Wind Relieving Pose) or a similar position very helpful since these work mainly on the digestive system.
Other poses that concentrate on improving your breathing techniques can also be beneficial as breathing properly, which in fact many of us don't do, can help in improving the blood flow around your body, thereby helping your stomach to digest food efficiently.
If you would like to start yoga, you should begin by contacting your local health club or gym to see if they run yoga classes. By joining a class, not only can you be sure that there will be someone qualified watching your movements to ensure you are executing them correctly, but they can help you with any questions you may have as to whether yoga is suitable for you. Or suggest alternative positions if you find the ones above too strenuous for you to begin with.
I've found that a simple yoga class first thing in the morning is a good way to kick start your day, leaving you feeling calm and relaxed, and ready to face the world, with the added benefits of relieving your heartburn/acid reflux.
