In this article, we explore Mushti Mudra, a powerful Mudra (hand gesture) tailored to address stomach-related problems and promote overall physical strength. Rooted in ancient Tamilian wisdom, Mushti Mudra not only aids in digestive health but also contributes to eye wellness by tackling underlying stomach disorders.
Understanding the Connection Between Stomach Health and Eye Disorders
The human body is an intricate system where various organs influence each other's functioning. According to ancient Ayurvedic wisdom, many eye diseases—up to 96 different conditions—are often linked to stomach problems. By addressing and curing stomach disorders, we can effectively alleviate and prevent numerous eye-related ailments. Common stomach issues include:
Digestion Problems: Indigestion can lead to discomfort and impact overall health.
Upper Stomach Pain: Often associated with liver, spleen, and pancreas issues.
Muscle Sagging: Weak or sagging muscles can affect posture and physical fitness.
While there are multiple ways to tackle these problems, Mudras offer a natural and non-invasive approach to enhancing health and preventing the escalation of these issues.
What is Mushti Mudra- physical strength
Mushti Mudra involves specific finger curling and thumb placement to stimulate pressure points that are believed to influence stomach health and muscle strength. This Mudra not only targets digestive issues but also aids in tightening sagging muscles, promoting a fitter and more youthful physique.
Key Benefits of Mushti Mudra
Digestive Health: Addresses stomach-related problems, potentially alleviating digestive discomfort and improving organ function.
Cures Redness and Watering of the Eyes: By addressing stomach problems, Mushti Mudra helps alleviate various eye disorders.
Muscle Tone: May help tighten sagging muscles and improve physique.
Hand and Arm Strength: Strengthens hands, wrists, and forearms.
Energy Flow: Stimulates energy flow along the arms and upper body.
How to Perform Mushti Mudra
Finger Curl: Curl your four fingers (index, middle, ring, and little) into your palm.
Thumb Placement: Place your thumb over your ring finger, pressing it gently against the folded fingers.
Grip: Clench your hand into a fist, holding it firmly but not too tightly.
Hand Position: Perform the mudra with both hands. For the hand-strengthening exercise, hold the fists near your ears with knuckles facing outwards.
Breathing Exercise (Optional): For hand and arm strengthening, inhale and exhale deeply six times while holding the fists near your ears. Repeat this cycle five times.
Duration: Hold the mudra for 5-10 minutes for general digestive benefits. For the strengthening exercise, the duration is determined by the number of breathing cycles.
