Butterfly stroke-cleaning up the dead corner of health
Iyengar thinks that the butterfly is a gift for women, which can make the menstrual period regular and the ovary function well, which is helpful for delivery.
In addition, for women, the butterfly also plays a very important role-it can also clean up the "sanitary dead angle" (pelvis) inside the body.
As we know, pelvis protects human reproductive system and urinary system. After sitting for a long time, the impurities in qi and blood will slowly deposit in the pelvis, and then it will become a container for receiving garbage and waste. Over time, if your meridians are blocked and your qi and blood are not running, bacteria will breed here, leading to inflammation, which is manifested as spots, acne and red pimples on your face.
Butterfly exercise is not much, but it just happens to exercise the most difficult part-buttocks. Regular exercise of the legs can not only open the meridians on the legs and eliminate inflammation, but also increase the blood supply to the pelvis and abdominal cavity, so that the internal organs can be nourished by blood and rejuvenated. This kind of vitality is manifested in the face, which is ruddy, white, spotless and acne-free, and delicate.
Regular practice of this pose can also regulate urinary function and relieve sciatica, which is very suitable for friends who often sit in the office.
In addition, this posture has a good maintenance effect on the male prostate.
