What are the best yoga poses for dry cough? - #10833
I’ve been dealing with a persistent dry cough and want to try natural solutions. What are the best yoga poses for dry cough that help clear the airways and improve respiratory health? One commonly recommended pose is Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose), which is said to open up the chest and improve lung function. How long should this pose be held, and does it provide immediate relief for dry cough? Another effective pose is Matsyasana (Fish Pose), which stretches the throat and chest. Does this pose help soothe throat irritation caused by a dry cough, and should it be practiced in the morning or evening for best results? Anulom Vilom (Alternate Nostril Breathing) is a pranayama technique that’s often suggested for respiratory issues. How effective is it for managing dry cough, and how many rounds should be performed daily? I’ve also read about Simhasana (Lion Pose), which is said to clear throat blockages and improve airflow. Does this pose work better for chronic dry cough, and are there any variations that enhance its benefits? If anyone has used yoga to manage dry cough, I’d love to know your experience. Which poses or techniques worked best for you, and did you pair them with other remedies like herbal teas for faster relief?
