Asthma is a disease in which a person has trouble breathing because the right amount of oxygen does not reach his lungs. Generally, the problems of asthma patients increase during the dusty and pollution-filled environment and winter season. Many times in asthma, the person is not able to breathe at the right time, so it can also be fatal. The practice of Passasana is very beneficial for asthma patients. Let us tell you how to practice this asana and what are its benefits.
How to practice this asana:
- To do this asana, first of all, stand straight in the posture of Tadasana.
- Now bend your knees and sit down keeping all the weight on your feet.
- During this, keep the soles fixed on the ground.
- Then bend the upper part of the body to the right, trying to bring the upper part of the body to the right knees.
- Raise your right hand up and place your left foot in front.
- Now lift your left hand and take it behind the back and hold the right hand.
- Then take the hands from the side of the back and hold the other hand tightly with one hand.

This asana stretches the muscles of the back, waist, and ankles. It also cures stomach problems.
Keep these things in mind during exercise:
- Choose low-intensity exercises like walking, low-impact aerobics, and swimming.
- If an asthma attack occurs, reduce the intensity of exercise.
- To avoid E-I-A, use an inhaler several times before doing any exercise.
- And drink plenty of fluids after, during, and before exercise.
- Increase the duration of warm-up and cool-down.
- Never exercise in conditions such as extremely high or very low temperatures and extreme humidity.
Asthma patients should always keep these 10 things in mind:
- Do not panic because nervousness increases the tension in the muscles, which can increase the problem of breathing.
- Do not lose heart and keep breathing through your mouth, then close your mouth and breathe through your nose. Slowly breathe in inwards and then exhale outwards.
- Do not hold your breath between inhaling and exhaling.
- Measure your attack position with the help of a peak flow meter. Peak flow meters are inexpensive instruments that can detect the status of an attack.
- Use an inhalant if possible and try to use the inhalant twice every 20 minutes.
- Keep away from smoke and dust.
- Check out the response to your treatment. A bad response is when you cough. A good response is when you feel comfortable breathing and feel relaxed.
- Follow the instructions given by the doctor, in case of more problems, contact the doctor as soon as possible.
- Take the medicines given by the doctor on time. If your problem is not getting better even with medicines, then remember that this is your chance to help yourself.
- If you are having trouble breathing, get away from the dusty place immediately and stand up.
