Such Heat: It is being said that even AC-coolers have failed inside the houses. On the other hand, the water of the body is drying up as soon as you step out of the house. Everyone is troubled by this rising temperature and the scorching heat waves. In such a situation, health experts are advising people to drink a lot of water, stay in a cool environment and not go out in the sun too much. But if you are told that in such heat you will neither need AC-cooler nor keep drinking a lot of water, you just have to sit comfortably in the house for 15-20 minutes and your heat will disappear, then you probably won’t believe it, but this is true.
Let us tell you that no matter how big the problem is, yoga therapy is such a treatment method that works like a miracle in such difficulties. Yoga has a sure shot solution for heat too and that is Jal Mudra of Yoga. You just have to sit quietly in this posture for some time and then you will feel so cool inside that you will neither feel hot nor will you have the problem of dehydration. Let’s know about it.
Dr. Balmukund Shastri, Secretary of S M Yoga Research Institute and Naturopathy Hospital India and a well-known yoga expert, says that Jal Mudra is also called Varun Mudra, because Varun Devta is considered to be the god of water, rain and sea. Jal Mudra is such a yoga mudra that brings the amount of water in the body to a sufficient level. This mudra helps in keeping our body hydrated. The basic work of water is cleaning and purification, so applying this mudra also works as detoxification in the body. It gives benefits like glow on the face, glow on the body, weight loss etc. It is so effective that you can see its effect in a few days.
What is this mudra, how is it formed?
Gautam Buddha also used to adopt this yoga mudra. Many statues of him are sitting in this mudra. This mudra is formed by joining the smallest finger of the hand i.e. the little finger and the tip of the thumb. For this, we have to sit in any Dhyanasana i.e. Padmasana, Sukhasana, Vajrasana or Siddhasana, keeping the waist straight, joining the little finger with the thumb. If you want, you can close your eyes, sit in a meditative position and then see the miracle.
These are also the benefits of this mudra
Jal mudra helps us in increasing eyesight, cleaning the eyes, and bringing out tears. It also helps in the production of saliva. It also works to reduce bad cholesterol from the body. It also helps in purifying the blood, increasing the level of blood and keeping the blood clean.
How long should you do this mudra?
Regularly practicing this mudra for 15 to 20 minutes provides all the mentioned benefits. If you want to get maximum benefits from this mudra, you can sit in this mudra every morning and evening. Do not do this mudra immediately after eating food. Keep a gap of at least 4 hours.
Who should not practice this mudra?
However, people whose kapha and pitta are increased should not practice this mudra. That is, if someone has kapha, cold, cold, cough or flu, then they should not do this because their problem can also increase due to increased amount of water in the body. But people whose vata is increased can practice this mudra.
