Yogic exercises and health--a psycho-neuro immunological approach

Published in the Indian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology [2009 Jan-Mar;53(1):3-15]. "Relaxation potential of yogic exercises seems to play a vital role in establishing psycho-physical health in reversing the psycho-immunology of emotions under stress based on breath and body awareness. . . This study focuses on two major pathways of information processing involving cortical and hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) interactions with a deep reach molecular action on cellular, neuro-humoral and immune system in reversing stress mediated diseases. Further, the proposed HIP-PNE model has ample of experimental potential for objective evaluation of yogic view of health and fitness." Abstract: PubMed.
