Healing Power of Yoga

The Healing Power of Yoga: Integrating Wellness Practices at Bhadra Teja Ayurveda. Discover the aspects of yoga for health and wellness at our center.


Introduction to the therapeutic effects of yoga and its role in health and wellness.

Good health is the ultimate objective for happiness, and good habits are essential for maintaining it. Despite the common occurrence of minor health disorders, major health problems often require precautionary measures. Practice yoga regularly as a preventive measure. While medications help control diseases like Blood Pressure, Diabetes, Acidity, Asthma, and Rheumatism, they do not eliminate the disorders. In contrast, the continuous, systematic, and regular practice of yoga is an effective tool to maintain good health and eliminate dreadful diseases from the human body. The many aspects of yoga contribute significantly to health and wellness.

 

The Healing Potential of Yoga

Yoga offers much more than just physical exercise; it encompasses holistic benefits for the mind, body, and spirit. Although yoga is often equated with āsanas (postures), these are only a small part of the practice. Yoga primarily focuses on the Self and consciousness, making it a highly intellectual exercise requiring sharpness and alertness to grasp its finer points.

 

The Bhagavad Gita illustrates the balanced approach of yoga:

'Natyasnatastu yogosti na chikantam anasnath;

Nacatisvapnasilasya jagrato naivacarjuna'

That is, "Yoga is not for one who overeats, neither for one who over fasts, nor for those who sleep too much, and also not for one who over-wakes."

 

Key Insights from Doctors at Bhadra Teja Ayurveda on the therapeutic effects of yoga and its role in overall health and wellness.

Doctors at Bhadra Teja emphasize the multifaceted benefits of yoga. According to them,  regular yoga practice enhances overall wellness by promoting physical, mental, and emotional balance.

 

Chronic Pain Management

Yoga can significantly reduce chronic pain, particularly in conditions like arthritis, fibromyalgia, and lower back pain. The gentle stretching and strengthening exercises help improve flexibility and reduce stiffness. Practising Asanas like Padmasana, Shalabhasana, Pavanamuktasana, Ushtrasana helped patients manage pain perception. The therapeutic effects of yoga in these asanas contribute to overall health and wellness.

 

Diabetes Management through the therapeutic effects of yoga and traditional methods.

Yoga helps regulate blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity. Regular yoga practice can aid in weight management and improve overall metabolic health, which is essential for diabetes management. Many OP cases have shown remarkable changes by simply practising some simple yogasanas like Mayurasana, Navasana, Shalabhasana, Paschimottasana, etc and pranayama  Ujjayi, Nadishodhana, etc

Specific postures like Pacschimottasana, Shavasana, Bhujangsana, Dhanurasana can help alleviate symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), constipation, and acid reflux by promoting better digestion and reducing stress. In Ayurveda gut health is central to overall well being. Integrating aspects of yoga can further support this holistic approach. So for providing the best, Pranayamas are also being advised for good digestion. The therapeutic effects of yoga pranayamas include improved digestive health.

 

Bhadra Teja Ayurveda and their Approach to integrating yoga into their practise

 

In our pursuit of holistic healthcare, we embarked on a journey to introduce yoga into our hospital practices.We wanted to provide treatments that supported physical, mental, and emotional health. With its proven benefits in stress reduction, pain management, and mental health enhancement, yoga emerged as an ideal complementary therapy to include in our treatment protocols.

Yoga sessions were tailored to fit various patient needs. For example, gentle yoga and breathing exercises were offered to post-operative patients to aid in recovery, while more vigorous routines were available for those dealing with chronic pain or stress-related conditions.

Encouraged by the positive outcomes, we are now looking to expand our yoga program. Plans are underway to include yoga therapy in outpatient services, introduce specialized programs for different demographics such as prenatal yoga, and conduct research to further validate the benefits of yoga in medical treatment.
