Liver

The liver disease attack rate is quite high where I was born area . This is very troublesome
and plagued by a fairly large group of people.Liver disease and damage can even lead to death in severe cases.

In addition to diet, another factor is caused by liver disease - Stress.
Happens to the TCM theory also supports this. That so called "liver as wood, it like tune up proper "........The description of growth of trees like vast space,Liver also need to feel stretch, not emotions trapped. 
The other so-called "anger is hurt liver and qi depression cause liver injury"
In saying so, yoga is clearly one of the good tool to deal with .

Yoga helps reduce stress ,which may aid good liver too. In response to stress, levels of the hormone cortisol rise; for people who continue to worry, those levels can stay high. Elevated cortisol levels not only stimulate eating, they ensure that any additional calories are efficiently converted to fat. Worse, under the influence of cortisol,that fat tends to get deposited in the abdomen, a particularly unhealthy place including liver .

The regular practice of yoga boosts your ability to feel what's going on inside your body. Besides having greater bodily awareness, people who practice yoga learn to examine their emotions.Yoga teaches that you are not your emotions and that you don't always need to act on them.

The life of energy is not magic power .as to see a child who felling but he didn't any struggle but just  to stay in place and keep that position a while;then after few seconds will find out he or she can stood up and still jump or run like never injured .This is the original power call the "Jing 靜".
This word was combination of the "green" (青) and "competition" or" fight"(爭) it together bing the "Jing " the mean is  calm and undisputed. But why the green plus the competition"will become "indisputable?
In Chinese thought the meaning of green behalf of harmony and peace, also call it could leading the energy into the "Liver".The ancient physicians to describe liver as "generals"; therefor deep in the philosophical reasoning can say that  - The interpretation of the leaders of attitude in the face of competition.
A very complex concept is not it?

The idea of yoga for liver problems may in fact leave most of you baffled, or questioning the seeming absurdity of this declaration. But yes, yoga for liver problems is an effective way of maintaining and enhancing the health of this vital organ. Yoga’s approach to fitness differs from other exercise regimens, in that it does not merely focus on visible physical health, but on the body as a whole. This means that it takes into account the relationship between physical, mental and emotional health and the need to maintain balance. Yoga therefore acts as a balancing force, through its combination of physical postures, breath techniques and meditation.

Twists are often taught as balms for sluggish digestion, low energy, stifled breathing, and a variety of muscle aches and pains. Best of all, they feel good from the inside out.Reclining Twist offers an opportunity to feel the power of wringing out the body from its core.It can improve breathing, ease back tension, and soothe frazzled nerves. 

In the context of internal organs, when we say exercise for liver problems for that matter, we are not referring to routines that exercise your liver, but rather to exercises or activities that stimulate, regulate and enhance the function. The strange contortions that make up the asanas or physical poses of yoga offer some of these direct benefits. Many of them put gentle pressure or act as a massage on the organ, stimulating it. Other asanas improve circulation, some improve nervous system function, breath exercises improve circulation and cleanse the system, and so on. Thus they indirectly improve liver function by balancing the various functions that do have an effect on liver function.

Exercise caution when practicing yoga however ,Keep in mind that in addition to the physical practices it is necessary to adopt a healthy lifestyle that includes diet and general routines.

Liver Healing Yoga

There’s an old joke that’s supposed to have transpired as follows. It goes as follows:

Two drinking buddies meet after long.


Tim: So, how’s life.
Joe: Depends, is life worth living?
Tim: Yes, it all depends upon the liver


There are no two ways about it. For good health you need a good liver. And for detoxification of the liver, there’s no solution but to stimulate the organ. Yoga cleansing kriyas put the body into positions that allow for natural pressure to be placed on the liver and extenuated via pranayama. Not just that, they also helps to stimulate the nervous system.


During some of the asanas – particularly contracting and twisting poses like Pawanmuktasana and Ardha Matsyendrasana – it is likely that your body might start to shake. That is more so if you happen to hold the pose for a decent length of time. The shaking, in our opinion, is the direct consequence of the detoxification process occurring in your system. This will be more palpable if these asanas are performed after a session of cleansing kriyas such as Vaman Dhauti or Shanka Prakshalana.


The good side is that they help build the system back up properly. So, there’s no getting away from it that the liver is super important for your overall health and well being. But do you take adequate care of it or are you hard on your livers. Meaning to say, you go to college, then work and notice how the balance of our social gatherings have alcohol integrated into them in some shape or form. Any alcohol consumed puts your liver under strain.


In I perfect world we’d all work to reduce our alcohol consumption. But, that may not be a realistic approach for all, though most manage to abstain during Lent, leaves you with the choice of doing regular maintenance on your liver. So you could indulge a little but also do a regular session a day, and regular kriyas, say once or twice a month. All contracting and twisting poses, plus the prone poses and Surya Namaskars help stimulate the liver, while the kriyas, help cleanse it.

Spinal Twist

This pose helps revitalize the liver by fighting abdominal bloating and fatigue. Sit on a mat with legs extended out in front of you. Tighten your core and sit up straight. Bend your left knee and place your left foot outside of your right knee. Place your right hand on the ground next to the right side of your butt, fingers facing away from your body. Place your left arm on the inside of your left knee. Gently rotate your torso to the right. To deepen the twist, walk your right fingers out behind your body. Stop when you can't twist any further and hold for 30 seconds and then switch sides.
