Abstract :
At present an astonishing awareness of health
and natural remedies by Yoga and Pranayama has been
observed in the population of the whole world, which has
proved to be an effective way of improving health apart
from prevention and management of diseases.Along with
the increasing scientific researches of yoga, the search for
its medical aspects is also continuing.On the basis of
important studies related to the balancing of Vata doshas,
management of Vata diseases and its effects on physical
health of Pranayama, it was found that the practice
Pranayama, besides being an efficient practice in the
treatment of Vata diseases, has proved to be very
beneficial for the physical health of the person besides
maintaining the Vata dosha in a balanced state.Currently,
among the alternative therapies for treating Vata
diseases, yoga management is the most popular way to
treat Vata diseases naturally and balance Vata dosha.
Pranayama has been exclusively discussed in the yogic
methods of management of Vata diseases in the major
yogic scriptures such as Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Hath
Ratnavali, Asan Pranayama Mudra Bandha, and
Gherand Samhita. Under which the place of Bhastrika
Pranayama and Suryabhedi Pranayama is prominent due
to the Vata balancing benefits obtained from them. Hence
the importance of Pranayama has been clarified under the
Yoga Shastras to emerge from these conditions naturally
and to balance the Vata Dosha (Mallinson, 2004;
Muktibodhananda, 2012; (Gharote, Devnath, & Jha,
2002). Suryabhedi and Bhastrika Pranayama are
considered to be the best for the management of Vata
doshas among the different types of Pranayama described
under the major Hatha Yogic texts.Therefore, in the
present research study, a descriptive study of the role of
Pranayama in the management of Vata diseases has been
done on the basis of major Yoga texts.
