Can face yoga help with jaw tension, puffiness, or tech neck?

All the joy, pain, hurt, bliss, happiness you have ever experienced, shows up on the face. Face has collected it Expresses it through its expressions. Our face expresses that because all the nerve endings right from the brain go through the entire body, they end up on the face. The expression of negative harboured toxins and emotions collected from the outer world, leads to tension in the jaw, puffiness on the face and pain in the neck or “tech neck”. Just like doing yoga for the body - Stretching, toning, tapping and strengthening of the facial muscles or called Face yoga can help.

Let us see what these problems are and how we can get rid of them.

Relief of Jaw Tension: Stress is frequently associated with jaw tension.
· Exercises for face yoga encourage relaxation by focusing on important muscles like the masseter and temporalis. Performing exaggerated "O" and "E" vowel sounds or softly massaging the jawline are two movements that help relieve tension and raise awareness of clenching patterns. Frequent practice eases general jaw discomfort by retraining your muscles to remain calm.
· Consistent use can help increase the skin's elasticity, firming it up and minimizing drooping.
· A more defined jawline might result from certain activities that help lessen facial puffiness and swelling.
· Face yoga can aid in toning the jaw muscles, giving the face a more defined and sculpted look.

Huff puff of life shows on your face:
Inflammation, fluid retention, or inadequate lymphatic drainage are common causes of facial puffiness. The lymphatic system is stimulated by face yoga, which aids in edema reduction and toxin removal.
· Exercises that involve modest cheek lifts, finger sweeping motions, or light tapping can help lymphatic drainage and increase circulation. This can eventually result in a more defined, revitalized look, particularly around the cheeks and eyes.
· The lymphatic system, which is in charge of eliminating waste and extra fluid from the body, can be stimulated by face yoga poses, especially those that include light tapping and massaging.
By providing oxygen and nutrients to the skin and muscles, increased blood flow to the face can aid in the reduction of swelling and puffiness.
By strengthening the muscles of the face, specific workouts can increase the firmness and elasticity of the skin, minimizing the appearance of puffiness and drooping.
· Face yoga's de-puffing benefits are increased when combined with healthy sleeping and hydration practices.

Tech has advantages but makes humans weak:
"Tech neck" is the term found which describes the strain and drooping of the neck and lower face brought on by prolonged screen-gazing. Drooping Neck lines, and cervical spine stiffness are all exacerbated by
this posture.
· By strengthening the platysma, the sheet-like muscle in the neck, and enhancing posture, face yoga counteracts these consequences.
· By improving muscular tone and posture awareness, exercises like gently stretching the neck from side to side or tilting the head back while puckering the lips might lessen the long-term effects of digital habits.
· Deep neck flexor muscles, which are frequently weakened by forward head posture (tech neck), are strengthened by face yoga movements. This lessens the tension on the upper trapezius muscles and helps align the head.
The muscles in the neck and chest, which can get short and taut from extended hours of staring down at electronics, can be stretched and lengthened with exercises like chin tucks and neck stretches.
Certain face yoga poses and facial massages can aid in enhancing blood flow to the face and neck. Face yoga helps ease headaches, neck discomfort, and stiffness related to tech neck by releasing tension in the muscles of the face and neck.
When we exercise Face Yoga that with the circulation of blood all pain hurts also gets circulated and out on the path of elimination, liberating us.
