This magical hand gesture works faster than medicine, if you want relief from gas and knee pain, then just do this for 15 minutes.

News India Live, Digital Desk: We often say that our body is made up of five elements: soil, water, fire, sky and air (vayu). Ayurveda says that when the balance of air or ‘vayu’ in the body gets disturbed, then problems like gas in the stomach, joint pain and sciatica arise. In simple language we also call this the pain of ‘bye-badi’.

This works to control the air Vayu Mudra.

How does this currency work?

The index finger of our hands (the index finger next to the thumb) represents the air element. When we bend this finger and press it on the base of the thumb, the extra air from the body starts coming out. It works like a remote control which sets your vitiated Vata.

The unique benefits it provides:

1. Instant relief from gas and acidity: If you have eaten a heavy meal and are feeling bloated, then sit quietly for 15-20 minutes and do this mudra. Burping will start and heaviness in the stomach will disappear.
2. Joint and knee pain: It is very common to hear a crackling sound or severe pain in the knees due to arthritis. Practicing it daily reduces joint lubrication and inflammation, making it easier to move.
3. Sciatica and neuralgia: If you have strain or sciatica pain in the nerves of your legs, Vayu Mudra helps a lot in relaxing the nerves.
4. Nervousness and anxiety: Many times, excess gas in the stomach puts pressure on the heart and causes nervousness. This posture is also effective in keeping your mind calm and reducing anxiety.

What is the correct way to do it?

It is very easy to do this. You can do this anywhere—sitting on the couch watching TV, taking a walk in the park, or during a break at the office.

• Bend your index finger and place it on the base of your thumb.
• Now press the finger lightly with the thumb.
• Keep the remaining three fingers straight.
• For good results, this should be done for at least 15 to 45 minutes a day.

to bear in mind:
This is a very safe yoga activity, but if you have a very chronic and serious disease, then definitely consult a yoga expert. Just keep one thing in mind – once your gas or pain problem is cured, stop practicing this posture, because continuing to do it for a long time can lead to reduction in the essential Vata (Air element) of the body.
