Yoga Effectiveness on Physical & Mental Health

Abstract

Using information from review papers, this study evaluates earlier studies on the impact of yoga therapy on a variety of areas of mental and physical health. Collectively, these articles highlight a range of situations where yoga may be beneficial, but almost all of them still need more research to pinpoint these advantages. It has been challenging to use meta-analysis as a suitable tool for assembling the body of information due to the diversity of the examined treatments and surroundings. However, certain meta-analyses and even fairly high-quality randomized controlled trials (RCTs) demonstrate the benefits of yoga therapy, particularly with regard to pain-related ailments and mental health. While yoga may be helpful as a supportive adjunct in treating a number of medical problems, it is not yet recognized as a stand-alone, curative therapy. Yoga provides coping mechanisms for life, boosts self-efficacy, and encourages independence. It can also be used in part as a self-care practice for therapeutic purposes. Yoga is a supporting / auxiliary therapy that is reasonably priced. It is therefore strongly advised that a more extensive investigation be carried out utilizing stronger scientific standards and appropriate management procedures.
