Bow Pose / Dhanurasana
by Sri Swami Sivananda
of The Divine Life Society
Bow pose is useful in overcoming chronic constipation, dyspepsia, and sluggishness of liver. It removes hunchback, and rheumatism of legs, knee joints and hands. It reduces fat, energizes digestion, increases peristalsis, invigorates appetite and relieves congestion of blood in the abdominal viscera and tones them also. It is a blessing for people who suffer from gastro-intestinal diseases. Like plough pose, it keeps the spine elastic. It prevents premature ossification of bones. He who does plough pose, peacock pose and bow pose can never become lazy. He is full of energy, vigour and vitality.
