Abstract in brief

  • The review of 15 randomized controlled trials suggests that yoga may help reduce inflammation by decreasing certain markers like IL1beta, IL6, and TNFalpha, which are linked to immune responses.
  • Yoga could potentially be useful as a complementary treatment for people with inflammatory or immune-related conditions, as it might also boost other parts of the immune system like cell-mediated and mucosal immunity.
  • Since the current research is still limited and results are not entirely consistent, more studies are needed to better understand how and when yoga impacts immune function over time.]

Going back to our roots! Research shows that YOGA enhances cell-mediated & mucosal immunity and that it may be implemented as a complementary intervention for people at risk or already suffering from inflammatory diseases. #yoga #immunity #fitness #health https://t.co/xY6jhNzLWQ https://t.co/8dFOnfC0De
