Yoga: Postural Drainage

Postural draining is a method where secretions from the bronchi and the lungs are drained by placing the head lower than the chest.

This position will induce coughing up of phlegm. About 5 mins twice a day, morning and evening is recommended.

Place a firm well padded cushion or pillow under your stomach.

Lean over it with your chest supported by smaller pillows.

Remain in this pose and relax.
