Benefits of BADH KON ASAN
The pose is
specially recommended for those suffering from urinary disorders. The pelvis, the abdomen and the back get a
plentiful supply of blood and are stimulated. It keeps the kidneys, the
prostare and the urinary baldder healthy. It is well known that diseases of the
urinary tract are rarely found among the Indian Cobblers and the reason for
that is that they sit all day in this pose.
It relieves sciatic pain and prevents
hernia. If practiced regularly, it relieves pain and heaviness in the testicles.
The pose is a blessing a women. Coupled
with Sarvangasana I and its cycles it checks irregular menstrual periods and
helps the ovaries to function properly. It is found that pregnant women who sit
daily in this pose for a few minutes will have much less pain delivery and will
be free from varicose veings. (it is recommended for pregnant women in Dr.
Grantly Dick Reed’s book Childbirth without Fear).
Along with Padmasana and Virsna this asana
is recommended for Parayama Practice and for meditaion. When sitting in mediation
in this pose the palms should be folded in front of the chest but to do this
with the back erect requires practice. This asana can be done without fear even
after meals as long as the head is not rested on the floor.
