YOGA-The battle against cancer

Yoga is the settling of the mind into silence. When the mind has settled, we are established in our essential nature, which is unbounded Consciousness. Our essential nature is usually overshadowed by the activity of the mind.

 Most people think yoga is mostly a weight loss and maintenance programme, but the fact is that this old mind-body health system can work very well for patients with cancer. Yoga has recently been included in a holistic cancer treatment package due to its therapeutic properties, and it has been well-received around the world with proven results. The effect that the disease has on their emotional and mental being is possibly worse than a cancer patient's physical discomfort. It is only natural that a living situation combined with so much negative cancer often leads to anxiety and stress in most patients.

Yoga enters this place. The results were also shown to enhance the patient's psychological well-being, in particular. According to a study at the M D Anderson Cancer Center University of Texas, 61 female surgeons were divided into two test groups. One group was treated regularly for cancer, the other for a yoga programme twice a week. After the six weeks of the testing period, a better recovery rate and a better sense of well-being were reported in the second group that participated in the yoga programme.

How can Yoga help with Cancer?

Recovery of Yoga Speeds - Although the placebo effect cannot be classified as contemporary medicine, it certainly helps to make medicines and therapies efficient. The very fundamental idea behind Yoga is that the mind and the body can be aligned with one so that an imbalance in the one hurts the other. As yoga brings peace of mind, it can also be seen in the process of physical recovery.

Yoga helps with the problem- Any therapeutic programme based on awareness, such as yoga, would drastically influence anyone who suffers from chronic stress and fear. The treatment of cancer and chemotherapy is one of the times that a cancer patient is most stressed in life. The body changes a lot, from fatigue to hair loss, which affects the patient not only physically, but more emotionally and mentally. Cancer patients find it much easier to release stress and to let go of stress and constant rumination through yoga asanas and approved breathing techniques.

Indeed, doctors often recommend enrolling in certain yoga classes in patients, including cancer survivors. The worst may have happened already but the horrors of the past remain and they frequently cocoon off the world for most survivors of breast cancer. Moreover, the discomfort is not completely over, the body is still weak and the mind is weaker. The practice of yoga would then help them to make peace and renew the vigour of their minds.

Yoga is also for the body - Yogany usually raves about weight loss or management part in terms of the physical advantages. Yoga, however, has deep effects on the body as blood pressure controlling, metabolism, body temperature, respiration, even skin resistance. Such advantages help greatly patients with cancer and also boost routine therapy. While some of them attribute the change to pseudo-scientific, it cannot yet ignore the positive effects.

Is Yoga for Cancer different from other regular Yoga?

While the fundamental principle of yoga remains the same, various versions and interpretations of yogis are adopted today. Each version is more of a complement to the original yoga concept.

Patients or group-specific yoga sessions are available for cancer patients and survivors. As the body of a survivor of cancer is undergoing a lot during treatment, it must be ensured that no disorder or exercise of the body is done by asanas and pranayama. Custom-made mild yoga also helps to get rid of all toxin growth from treatment in addition to dissipating stress, tension and anxiety, 

Cancer yoga goes beyond conventional asanas and techniques of breathing. In the form of a group therapy session, clinics and yoga centres combine positive self-help therapies, such as group discussion, one-on-one advice and even partners, where two patients who have undergone similar scenarios are joined together for emotional support.

However, there is no specific scientific evidence that yoga helps cancer patients and survivors. In addition, it is safe to presume, however, that yoga can greatly help patients deal with the diseases both during and after the positive effects of yoga and empirical observations in patients.
