This stretch also influences the important organs located in the abdominal cavity, eg the stomach, small and large intestines, liver, spleen, gall bladder, etc. The unnecessary accumulation of blood around these organs is drained, and consequently, their functioning is improved. The fat deposited in the abdominal region is removed.
2)This Asana can be used along with other Yogic practices for therapeutic purposes for treating indigestion, constipation, gas trouble, acidity, heaviness of the stomach, etc.
