The executive is prone to headaches. The only solution for this disorder is to incorporate exercises which calm the nerves. Painkillers are not advisable unless the situation is really out of control.

Forward bends prevent fatigue. Viparita karani is excellent for tired executives. Passive back bends and inversions with the facial bandage also relieve exhaustion. Yoga strengthens immunity, as the nerves are made strong by all asanas. Particularly useful are the forward bends as they remove the sympathetic overdrive.
