Therapeutischer Yoga bei Stress und Erschöpfung

Zusammenfassung

Aus ayurvedischer Sicht ist Stress ein Faktor, der den dosha vata reizt und zu vata-bedingten Erkrankungen führt. Diese gehen mit Schmerzen, Instabilität und Schwäche einher. Oft ist eine pitta-Reizung ein wichtiger krankheitsfördernder Mechanismus. Yoga lässt sich therapeutisch sowohl im Sinne der Schulmedizin als auch im Sinne des Ayurveda einsetzen. Alle Techniken des Yoga können dabei einbezogen werden. Einige Studien zeigen die Wirksamkeit der Yogatherapie bei Stress, Erschöpfung und anderen stressbedingten Erkrankungen.

Abstract

From the Ayurvedic point of view, stress is a factor, which irritates the Dosha Vata and which leads to Vata-related diseases. These diseases are accompanied by pain, instability, and weakness. Often, a Pitta irritation is an important disease-promoting mechanism. Yoga can be used therapeutically in the sense of orthodox medicine as well as in the sense of Ayurveda. All techniques of yoga can be included. Some studies show the effectiveness of the yoga therapy in the case of stress, exhaustion, and other stress-related diseases.
