4. Reduces Stress~The inversion can help calm the mind, reduce stress, and promote a sense of well-being.

Contraindications of Headstand

3. Heart Conditions~Those with heart problems should avoid headstands as they can place extra strain on the heart.
4. Eye Conditions~People with glaucoma or detached retina should avoid headstands as they can increase intraocular pressure.

6. Ear Infections~Inverting the body can exacerbate ear infections or issues with the inner ear.
