Yoga Helps to Cope With Stress

Abstract

Traditional practices like yoga are gaining importance as comprehensive solutions to diverse health concerns in an era where the complicated interplay between physical health, mental well-being, and immunity is widely recognized. With growing mental health concerns, yoga practices can be employed to lower stress, reduce inflammation, and restore neurotransmitter balance. Accumulating evidence suggests that yoga is effective in treating depression, anxiety, and even schizophrenia. Some studies support the use of hatha yoga in the face of rising mood and anxiety disorders. This article overviews evidence-based studies of yoga pointing to its beneficial effects on stress reduction, immune responses, and mental health outcomes.
