Health benefits of ardha matsyendrasana

1.  Spine: This is one of the best yoga poses for spinal health as it provides excellent compression and extension to the nerves and muscles of the spine. The compression and extension squeezed out sluggish blood of the spinal region to the heart and lungs, thus keep the spine in optimal condition.
2. Back: A large number of people are sufferings from back problems. Practicing this yoga pose will help you to get rid of all the back-related problems.
3. Aged people: Practicing this yoga at the elderly stage, reduces the tendency of adjoining vertebrae to fuse together, which is quite rampant at this stage, thus minimizes the vertebral problems at this stage.
4. Headache: It is good to relieve headaches because alternative compression helps to circulate blood to various organs of the body including the brain thus good for refreshing the mind.
5. Diabetes: For diabetes prevention and management, Ardha Matsyendrasana or half spinal twist pose acts as a panacea for sugar control. It activates the pancreas to release insulin.
6. Round Shoulders: Regular practice of this yoga pose is helpful to remove any tendency towards round shoulders.
7. Sciatica and slipped disc: It has been found very useful in the case of people who are suffering from sciatica and slipped disc.
8. Constipation: If this yoga pose performs first from the right twist, the fecal matter travels up the ascending colon along the transverse colon, and then downwards in the descending colon before being expelled from the body. Therefore an initial twist to the right followed by a left-hand twist compresses the colon and activates the nerves associated with intestinal peristalsis in the same order as the progressive movement of fecal matter.
9. Digestion: This asana enhances digestion as the compressing and twisting of the digestive system helps to release digestive juice thus promote digestion.
