A Retrospective Case Series on Management of Nidranasha with Yoga Nidra and Padabhyanga
Abstract
Sleep is an inevitable factor in day-to-day life. Sleep disturbances reduce the peace of mind and productivity of a person. Many allopathic drugs are available to induce sleep but that all results in various side effects. Yogic interventions are easy to administer and without any adverse effects, hence as an effort towards this, a trial was done at Parul Ayurved Hospital upon the patients of Nidranasha with the practice of Yoga Nidra and Padabhyanga over a period of 30 days. Marked improvement was noted in the sleep parameters of the patients and the discussion of six cases of Nidranasha is done in the case series.
