Common skin allergies in teenagers include conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and hives. These are often characterized by symptoms such as itching, redness, and skin rashes, and can be triggered by environmental factors, stress, or diet.
Yoga Poses:
Gentle poses like Cobra Pose and Fish Pose can improve skin health by promoting better circulation and stress reduction.
Cobra Pose (Bhujangasana)
Lie on your stomach, place your hands under your shoulders, and lift your chest while keeping your lower body grounded.
Benefits – Cobra Pose is excellent for strengthening the spine and alleviating back pain. It also helps open the chest and lungs, which can improve breathing. By stretching the abdominal muscles, it promotes better digestion. The pose encourages better circulation of blood and oxygen, especially throughout the spinal and pelvic regions, which can contribute to improved skin health by promoting detoxification and reducing stress.
Fish Pose (Matsyasana)
Sit on the floor, slide hands under hips, lean back onto forearms, lift your chest, and arch your back to let your head tilt backwards.
Benefits: Fish Pose is primarily known for its ability to stretch and stimulate the belly organs and the throat, enhancing the health of the thyroid, parathyroid, and pituitary glands. It opens up the lungs, which improves breathing and helps relieve respiratory ailments. By extending the neck and spine, it boosts blood circulation in these areas, which can enhance skin health by improving cellular turnover and reducing stress levels.
Diet:
Anti-inflammatory foods such as turmeric, green tea, and berries can be beneficial.
