Halasana ( The Plough)

http://blog.omved.com/yoga/image.axd?picture=%2F2013%2F04%2Fhalasana.jpg

Lie flat on your back with your arms down beside your thighs.

Raise both legs and guide them over your head until the toes touch the floor.

The legs should remain straight.

Support the back with the hands if necessary


Benefits

This posture is recommended for diabetics.

It aids the regeneration of the pancreas as well as the regulation of adrenaline in the system.

Under compression the thyroid gland benefits from an increased flow of blood, which helps to regulate its functions.

By controlling the metabolism , this gland has a considerable influence on the youthfulness of the body.

The posture has a good effect on the spleen and sexual glands, especially in its final stage, when the knees are brought to the ears.

The organ especially affected is the liver which is cleansed and decongested.
