Energy wash: a morning yoga workout, which relieves swelling

Usually the fight against edema goes in three directions. First of all, you should try to drink less water at night and not eat salty foods. Secondly, you should use beauty products that improve microcirculation: for example, cooling patches and massagers. And thirdly, in the morning it is worth doing special exercises that have a lymphatic drainage effect.

What are these exercises? Someone shakes their arms and legs in the “cockroach” pose or warms up in the morning on a roller for the MFR. Many women get rid of swelling with a hundred quick jumps. It’s a really powerful practice – but here we’ve explained why it can only harm your body.

The “energy wash” is the beginning of most complexes for yoga. We will not go into the spiritual significance of the practice, but immediately move on to the actual effect. “Washing” in a few minutes warms up the muscles, improves blood circulation in the body and prepares the body for more serious stress. And at the same time eliminates swelling.

The energy wash is based on light strokes of the face and body with your own hands. It is this movement that improves metabolic processes – no worse than jumps and other jerks.

It will take 20-30 seconds to treat each area – and five minutes in total. Starting the morning with a relaxing meditation practice is much easier than strenuous cardio exercises. So try doing an energy wash the next morning!
