Yoga-inspired postures, breathing techniques, and meditation may help reduce stress-related hormones and circulation to the lymph system, which controls the white blood cells. Yoga may also fight depression and assist in reducing bad lifestyle choices.
A study completed at the Osher Center for Integrated Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, discovered that following three months of yoga/meditation, HIV patients had lower viral loads, greater CD4 T-cell counts, less stress/anxiety, and even improvements in mood!
Extrapolating further than just yoga and meditation, other systems such as Ayurveda of India and the more well-known traditional Chinese medicine, offer valuable therapy modalities such as acupuncture, acupressure massage and also natural herbal remedies. All of these support immunity and relaxation.
