Effect of Yoga on Auto Immune Diseases

Girishwar Chandra, Raj Dhar Misra

Abstract :

 According The Bhagavad Gita, “Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self.

Yoga is recognized as an ancient system of philosophies, principles and practices derived from the Vedic tradition of India and the Himalayas, more than 2500 years ago. It is a system that recognizes the multi-dimensional nature of the human person, and primarily relates to the nature and workings of the mind, based on experiential practice and self-enquiry. Yoga comes from the word yoke which means union. Yoga is the union between the finite self and the infinite self. The finite self is the physical body and the experiences that we have through the physical body. Everyone can relate to the physical body because it can be seen and it can be touched. What is the infinite body then? The infinite self is the inner self, the higher self, the spiritual self. The combination of eath exercises (pranayama), yoga positions (asanas), mudras (hands positions), bhandas (body’s locks), and meditation comprise the practice of Yoga. The physical aspect of yoga includes poses, eathing techniques, and relaxation. Inflammatory arthritis, a chronic disease characterized by inflammation of the lining of the joints, can cause long-term joint damage, resulting in chronic pain, loss of function, and disability.
