What yoga and naturopathy are

Yoga and Naturopathy is an AYUSH system that uses yoga, breathing exercises, diet, hydrotherapy, massage, mud therapy and lifestyle change to promote health. A practitioner holds a BNYS (Bachelor of Naturopathy and Yogic Sciences) degree, and specialists an MD (Naturopathy/Yoga). Practice is regulated at national and state level by AYUSH authorities and councils.

• Weight management, lifestyle disorders and support for diabetes and high blood pressure alongside medicines.
• Digestive problems, headaches and general wellness.
• Recovery and rehabilitation through yoga therapy.

Yoga postures (asanas), pranayama (breathing), meditation, diet and fasting advice, hydrotherapy such as steam and hip baths, mud packs, massage and relaxation techniques. Evidence is best for yoga and meditation in reducing stress, improving mood, sleep and back pain, and as a supportive measure in conditions such as hypertension and diabetes.
