Yoga a complete therapy
Recently
there has been an increased awareness and interest in health and natural
remedies among the general public as well as scientific community.
The
scientific-spiritual discipline of yoga is an effective and time-tested method
for improving our health as well as prevention and management of diseases,
especially chronic psychosomatic disorders.
More recently, modern research has established the scientific
basis of Yogic techniques and yoga has gained international acclaim and acceptance.
“Yoga has a sound and practical philosophy, scientific basis and universal, non sectarian approach. It is a physical-mental-spiritual discipline for improving overall health and achieving union and harmony between body, mind and soul.”
Modern medicine is materialistic and concerned with our body.
Drugs are the cornerstone of its management. In contrast, yoga is a holistic
system for the integrated development of our physical, mental as well as
spiritual aspects.
For prevention as well as management of stress and stress
disorders and for achieving psychosomatic relaxation, there is no system as
effective and far reaching as yoga.
In contrast to negative side effect of drugs, yoga has
positive, beneficial “side effect” in terms of improvement of our psychosomatic
health.
Ayush means life and Veda means knowledge and Ayurveda means
knowledge or science of life. Ayurveda, which is being practised in India for
thousands of years, is the world’s first well organised health science that has
sound scientific and philosophical basis.
In classical texts like Sushrut samhita (600BC) and Charak
samhita (100BC) are a great source of information about holistic health, herbs,
diseases and surgical treatment.
Our old sages lived such a nature-centred lifestyle based on
principles of Ayurveda and Yoga.
Yoga is a mind body intervention, which has been recognised
by World Health Organisation (WHO) and is largely used in health prevention and
care.
According to a very recent report of survey, in a different clinical trials published in North American journals of different specialities, 91% of the researches consider yoga a promising instrument for cure, prevention, health promotion and quality of life.
Results obtained from researchers on influence
of yoga practice on human in Polish scientific centres have shown that yoga
practice increases stress resistance, emotional balance, health improvement,
mind concentration and attention.
Yogasanas are proved to control the metabolic disturbances
and hyper-kinetic circulatory state through root level.
