Hi, I’m Bailey Mosier. This is your EmpowHER HER Daily Dose.
Have you ever wondered why the downward facing dog yoga position is so popular and believed to be so good for the body? One author and acupuncturist tells us why we should strike this pose.
Sara Calabro, author of “Acupuncture Matters,” and an acupuncturist board-certified and licensed in two states, details just how amazing the downward facing dog pose truly is.
The pose activates what’s called the “Bladder Channel,” which is the longest channel in the body. It has 67 acupuncture points that run from the inner eye, up and over the head, down the entire spine, leg, foot and ending at the pinkie toe.
The Bladder Channel is used to treat a wide range of conditions, including pain in any part of the body that's located along its route – headaches, neck pain, back pain and more. Smooth flow throughout the channel is critical to achieving optimal health.
Downward facing dog is unique in its ability to engage, in one fell swoop, acupuncture's largest and most all-encompassing channel. A few more downward facing dogs a day could do all our bodies some good.
That wraps up your EmpowHER HER Daily Dose. Join me here at EmpowHER.com every weekday for your next dose of women’s health.
