Bhujang asana can provide relief from constipation
If you are suffering from constipation, you can practice Bhujang Asana. This yoga asana is also known as ‘cobra pose’ or ‘serpent pose’. During this yoga asana, the body assumes the shape of a snake’s claw, which is why it is called Sarpasana. Doing this asana reduces stress and relieves constipation.

You can practice Bhujang Asana at home. To do the asana, first lie on the mat on your stomach. Then, place both palms facing the ground near your thighs. Keep your ankles touching each other. After this step, bring both hands to shoulder level and keep both palms facing the ground. Then, transfer your body weight to your palms and slowly inhale, lift your head and pull it back. Your elbows should be bent. Then, tilt your head back and push your chest forward. Then, return to your normal position.
