To start with, let's work on inverted postures, which are the simplest and easiest way to increase blood circulation to the head region.
Caution:
Those suffering from sciatica or slipped disc should avoid these.
Those with cervical spondylitis, high blood pressure and heart problems should avoid exercise three and women should avoid the same while menstruating.

• Inhale and raise your arms upwards
• Exhale and stretch forward
• Hold your ankles or the big toe, pull your body down and rest your forehead on the knees, as shown
• Hold the position for 10-30 seconds, breathing normally.
Exercise 2

Exercise 3
• Lie flat on your back with your arms by your side.
• Slowly raise both your legs at a 90-degree angle to your body
• Lift your hips and back off the floor, lower your legs towards your head and support your hips with your hands
• Slowly lower your hands and bring your legs to 90-degree angle, again.
• Support the whole body from shoulders so that your body and legs are in a straight line.
