HIV/AIDS is a global pandemic. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is an infection that targets the immune system. Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is the disease’s advanced stage. The first well-documented case of HIV in humans was found in Congo in 1959. During HIV infection, the worst effect is on our body’s immune system due to which the number of CD4+ cells, an important cell in our body, starts decreasing and ultimately this infection takes the form of AIDS. It is possible to avoid this because after this infection, it takes more than 10 years for it to take the form of AIDS. if Yoga therapy is adopted during this period, then the rate of this infection can definitely be reduced. Previous studies showed that Yoga therapy increased the number of vital cells like CD4+. Swami Kuvalayananda introduced Yoga therapy to India in the 1920s.

Naturopathic medicine aims to identify factors that affect the patient's current state, with a focus on improving health thro-ugh health promotion, promotion, and disease prevention. By using different treatment modalities among complementary and alternative methods, the least harmful and most effective approaches in improving the ability to improve and maintain health are presented in line with personalized evidence-based treatments. There are six basic principles of naturopathy. These; first of all, do no harm, the healing power of nature, identifying and treating causes, teaching, treating and preventing the per-son as a whole. Observational practice results and clinical trial data report the efficacy of naturopathy in multiple chronic health conditions with high morbidity, including cardiovascular risk, hypertension, depression, anxiety, low back pain, and type 2 diabetes. In addition, it has been reported that changing patient behavior in various chronic diseases may affect the prognosis of patients. Although naturopathic approaches are both traditional and innovative approaches, there seems to be very limited evidence due to the lack of extensive experimental studies using these approaches. The aim of this article is to raise awareness about naturopathy, which is a complementary approach in the management of chronic diseases.
