A REVIEW ON ROLE OF YOGA IN VARIOUS DISEASES

Abstract

Swastha is the state of maintaining equilibrium between Dosha, Dhatu and Mala with the proper functioning of Aatma, Indriya and Mana in the body. Yoga helps in connecting the mind with the body and soul. It consists of Asana, Pranayama and meditation. Asana is a particular position of the body which helps in achieving steadiness of body and mind. Pranayama helps in controlling breathing which is very effective than normal breathing. Meditation helps in connecting mind, body and soul. Yoga is found to be very effective in diseases like rhinitis, asthma, sinusitis, hearing loss, bronchitis etc. Yoga produces Nadi shuddhi (purification of all the channels) and Mala shuddhi (eradication of factors that disturb balanced working of body and mind) which help in enjoying positive health and freedom from diseases.
