This yoga pose reduces uncomfortable menstrual symptoms – you can do it right in bed

Modern women have different attitudes about critical days. Some complain that in our country there are no laws, like in Europe: where recently you can take sick leave during the period of the most acute moments of menstruation. Others, on the contrary, do not consider it necessary to limit the usual rhythm of life: especially given the appearance of comfortable menstrual underwear and tampons for intimacy, which allow you to hide the presence of secretions.

However, menstruation is not limited to these times. Many women experience severe pain, bloating, and general gastrointestinal upset. Okay, with these symptoms, talking about going on with your usual life doesn’t seem so rosy and doable anymore!

Some movements can be performed without getting out of bed. So, during a period of deteriorating well-being, you can try doing “pawan muktasana” – an asana better known as “wind release pose”.

The well-known asana has a beneficial effect on the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and relieves bloating – a common cause of increased pain during menstruation. But be careful: when pain and discomfort appear, it is better to gently stop the practice and lie down for a while in a neutral position.
