This kriya works to improve the skin by removing the effects of long-term anger and stress through adjustment of the metabolism. Stress and anger affect the skin. Inner anger can make you accomplish a lot, but if you are angry and blaming, then this anger will keep you in a state of low self-esteem. This creates long-term stress which dulls the mind, makes life boring, and takes away your happiness.
