چکیده
Too much of stress and strain of life especially after the middle age, may lead to one of the stress diseases e.g. Hypertension, Asthma, Diabetes, Arthritis, Migraine, Headache etc. As the developing countries are also becoming more and more industrialised, the number of these diseases are increasing at a very fast rate. Hence, there is an urgent need for taking proper measures to prevent the development of such diseases and also to recognise and treat them in the early stages. Though recently innumerable tranquilizing agents have been discovered and marketed, all of them have certain toxic and habit forming properties. Hence, their use should be limited to the bare minimum followed by certain non-medical measures such as different type of yogic practice to control these diseases. So this paper attempts an evaluation of Yoga as a potent technique to manage stress which causes about 75 percent chronic bodily diseases.
