sangitasyogasutra: Gas, bloating and arthritis are part of vata imbalance. This means we need to regulate the air element in the body. Our index finger represents the air element and thumb represents 🔥 fire. So with Vayu mudra - you can lower and reduce the air element in your body by pressing the index finger to the base of the thumb and covering it with thumb as shown in picture. It is also great for improving your immunity apart from helping digestion and arthritis. If you feel bloated or experience gastric, you can try this simple mudra for a few minutes and feel relief immediately. Note: Practice it regularly for 10-15 minutes atleast to relieve chronic issues. For best results try practicing it in meditative pose like sukhasana/ vajrasana/ padmasana- keeping spine erect.
