ABSTRACT:
This research investigates the transformative effects of Nadi Shodhan Yoga, an ancient yogic practice involving deliberate, mindful breathing, on overall health and well-being. Emphasizing its role in stress reduction, optimal cellular function, immune system support, and improved circulation, the study explores Nadi Shodhan's potential to address hay fever, a prevalent allergic condition impacting global populations. Twenty-two participants diagnosed with hay fever, aged 25 to 45, were randomly assigned to the Nadi Shodhan Yoga intervention group (Group-B) or the control group (Group-A). The 8-week intervention, involving daily 20-minute sessions, led to significant reductions in practical symptoms associated with hay fever and notable improvements in emotional distress for Group-B compared to the control group. Results align with existing research on breathing techniques, emphasizing Nadi Shodhan Yoga's potential as a complementary therapy. The study contributes valuable insights into the holistic impact of mindful breathing practices on hay fever management, advocating for further research with larger sample sizes to validate and generalize these promising findings. Nadi Shodhan Yoga emerges as a promising avenue for holistic healthcare approaches, promoting physical vitality, emotional equilibrium, and mental clarity.
