Yoga is an alternate field of medicine which has been practiced for more than 5000 years. Though yoga originated in India but its benefits are now not hidden from the people around the world. Apart from relaxing your mind, body and soul; yoga has also proved to be effective for treating health problems like hair fall. There are certain yogasanas which improve the blood flow to the scalp thereby preventing hair loss and even help in re-growth of hairs. As the blood supply to scalp improves, oxygen and proper nutrients are supplied to hair follicles which help in prevention of hair fall. Some of the yogasanas for prevention of hair fall are listed below. Information about these yogasanas can also be gained through the website of ‘yogicthoughts.com’.
Sheershasana
This is the best yogasanas which helps prevent hair fall. In this asana you need to stand upside down with your head on the floor and your back and legs straight in the sky. In this position, your blood flows properly to the head and brain supplying adequate amount of oxygen thus preventing hair fall.
Uttanasana
Uttanasana is a position wherein you need to stand and bend forward. This is one of the most effective yogasanas for preventing hair loss. In this asana you need to stand straight with both your legs close to each other. Take a deep breath. Now while exhaling, lift up both your hands and bend forward your upper portion. Let your hands touch the floor. Stay in this position for a while and breathe normally. Now inhale deeply and go to your normal standing position. This asana relieves you of all the stress and promotes hair growth. Also, as the head is below the heart level, there is an improved flow of blood to the scalp thereby improving hair growth and preventing hair loss.
Uttanpadasana
This is the other yogasana which allows blood circulation to the scalp thereby helping hair follicles to re-grow. For this asana, lie down on the floor with your arms on the sides and palms facing the floor. Now, slowly raise the legs at an angle of 45 to 60 degrees. Remain in this position for about a minute.
Apart from these asanas, you can also indulge into practicing sun salutation, deep breathing exercises or Pranayam to prevent hair fall.

Pregnant women and people suffering from problems such as spondylitis, cervical etc. must avoid such tough asanas.
