  • Abstract:
  • Yoga today is a subject of worldwide interest. Until only a few years ago yoga used to have a very limited appeal. It had little feeling for the common man busy in the daily life routine. Those who understood it were very few and fewer still practised it. Yoga was taught and practised in remote places called ashrams under the direct supervision of a guru. Now yoga is no more regarded a discipline to be followed only by those who have set “emancipation” as the highest goal of life. It is now very much a thing which interests the man in the street as many of the ancient procedures of the yoga have been studied scientifically. In yoga, one has to learn to control his mind and master his senses. Body of man is like a chariot and senses are the horses. One who has a control over the reins of the horses, he is the best driver. Yoga is the most scientific technique of developing an integral personality comprising of body, mind and soul as miraculous powers can be achieved through breath control and mental concentration. Yoga is the science and art of perfect health as it has great potential values contributing to man’s freedom from pain, miseries, worries and anxieties ensuring positive thinking leading to mentally and socially balanced and peaceful life. Yoga stands for mental concentration and the best way to know a thing completely is to identify oneself with it and this is the basic intention behind yoga. Hatha yoga, which consists of asanas (body postures), pranayams (breath control), kriyas, bandhas and meditation, has proved to be of great help in the treatment of certain ailments as shown by the scientific investigations carried out in India and elsewhere. The sole purpose of writing this chapter is to apprise the readers the usefulness of various important asanas and pranayams in the additional management of certain chronic ENT ailments.
