Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have done the inversion method in yoga for the last six days. Now, I have got pain in my head and eyes. What can I do now?

Answered by Dr. Santhosh M D

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

  • All kinds of yoga postures are not recommended for everyone.
  • Beginners should never try tough postures. Always remember that yoga is not just performing tough postures.
  • The definition of yoga posture says that sthira sukham asana. That means asana is the posture by which you feel comfortable and can be maintained for a long without effort.
  • A good teacher should not put beginners to perform advanced postures.
  • Since you have developed headache and eye pain stop the practice for a while. Apply Ksheerabala taila to the head and massage lightly. It will relieve the condition.
  • If the problem persists please feel free to go for a physical evaluation.
