Yoga and Disease (Roga)

Author's Note: The following depicts the opinions of the author, based on personal experience and the experience of other yoga practitioners. These claims have not been validated by any medical professional or organization.

Yoga is a great elixir for all diseases. In Sanskrit, the word for disease or ailment is Roga. Different forms of medical systems are still trying to discover the real cause of different diseases and how to eliminate them. These systems of medicine have done wonders for treating these diseases, or alleviating symptoms, but none have been able to eliminate them once and for all.

Yoga is the only system on earth that completely defeats and kills disease. It works on the body system in such a way that it not only protects the body from future roga attacks, but also kills any disease already in the body. That’s the beauty and utility of yoga. That yoga can prevent and cure zillions of diseases and ailments is corroboration to the fact that it has some surreal attributes. These attributes emerge from yoga’s deft understanding of the mind and the body.
