MUDRA VAYU

The ancient Indian science of Healing (Ayurveda) refers to the disorders caused by gases or air pressures in and around the veins, arteries etc, as vata ailments. Joint pain, arthritis, rheumatism, etc are common examples of such disorders. The Vayu mudra helps control and cure the vata ailments. The optimum time of practicing it at a stretch and the overall duration would depend upon the stage and type of the ailments. It is also efficacious in recovery from paralysis attacks. Best results are obtained if this mudra and the Prana mudra are practiced together, one after the other. This mudra is generally effective in alleviating toothache, headache, stomachache, etc. As in case of the other mudras, its practice by healthy people is an excellent preventive measure against all vata related problems.


This mudra is similar to the Surya mudra except that the index finger is used in place of the ring finger in this mudra. The index finger is folded to touch and gently press the root of the thumb and then the top portion of the thumb is made to touch the middle part of the finger in such a way that it also puts some pressure on the latter ( as shown in Figure 7). This mudra regulates the mutual proportion and combination of Agni and Vayu tatvas.
