Want glowing skin? Practice 5 easy hand mudras
What's the story
Want to have flawless, glowing skin? Besides following a proper diet and skincare regime, practicing some simple mudras can also help you achieve healthy skin. Mudras are powerful hand gestures used in yoga that can have a positive impact on both physical and mental health. And every mudra plays a distinctive role. Check out these five mudras that can help you fight skin issues.
#1
Brahma Mudra
Brahma Mudra provides energy to your body, helps calm your mind, and clears the skin. Sit in the Sukhasana position. Move your thumb toward your little fingers' base and put gentle pressure on that area. Make a fist, placing your thumb under your forefingers. Ensure your fists are facing in an upward direction, and the knuckles of both hands should touch each other.
#2
Varun Mudra
Place yourself in the lotus position with a straight back and crossed legs. Keep your hand on your thighs in a way that your palm is facing an upward direction. Fold your little finger toward the thumb and let the tip of your little finger and thumb touch each other while letting all other fingers remain straight. This mudra can heal several skin conditions.
#3
Prithvi Mudra
Sit in the lotus position with a straight back and crossed legs. Now, keep your hands on knee caps or thighs. Turn your ring finger in the inward direction to touch your thumb's top with the tip of the ring finger. Relax in this position for a few minutes. Prithvi Mudra enhances the growth of healthy skin cells and increases hair growth, too.
#4
Kaki Mudra
Be seated in the lotus pose. Keep your hands on knee caps and concentrate on the tip of your nose. Now, contract your lips in a rounded shape and try to inhale deeply through it and exhale from the nostrils. Do this for a few minutes and relax. Kaki Mudra helps delay skin aging and reduces wrinkles.
#5
Apana Mudra
Place yourself in the lotus pose. Keep your hands on the thighs and fold your middle and ring fingers toward the thumb. Touch the tip of the two fingers with the top of your thumb and let the other two fingers remain straight and intact. Stay in this position for a few minutes. Apana Mudra also clears up your skin and reduces joint pain.
