Pranayama: Breath Techniques for Stress Relief
Stress can exacerbate many reproductive issues. Incorporating pranayama can effectively help in stress management.
Nadi Shodhana (Alternate Nostril Breathing)
This breathing technique reduces stress and balances hormones:
Close off one nostril while inhaling through the other, then alternate.
Aim for sustained breath-holding, gradually increasing your duration as comfort permits.
Brahmari Pranayama (Humming Bee Breath)
This technique is known for its calming effects:
With your eyes closed and fingers blocking your ears, inhale and produce a humming sound while exhaling.
Repeat this for several cycles, allowing the vibrations from the humming to ease stress and promote mental clarity.
