Mother Nature is blessed with a host of living creatures that can be found in every corner of the earth. It is in the depths of the ocean and even in the air. The human species, considered the most intelligent of all life forms on earth; has worked time and time again to improve the quality of life. These efforts are based on trial and error; and in research supported by advanced technology they have propelled human civilization forward. The medical field has leapt in leaps and bounds in innovative medical treatments. However, while our faith in the medical profession is strong, we still have a tendency to turn to grandma’s old “chicken soup” remedy.
Yoga therapy is, in essence, a self-healing system. The practice of Yoga has clearly shown that it works silently in the human body, thus returning it to its original state. While yoga therapy is not a stand-alone substitute for medical treatment, its practice will eliminate aches and pains or sometimes prevent them from deteriorating. There are several types of Yoga therapy that is designed for specific ailments such as high blood pressure, neck and spine pain, arthritis, asthma or bronchitis, diabetes, and the many preventive measures that can be taken as therapy. Below, I have listed some yoga therapies that will definitely help and cure some of the most common ailments.
