Item ASSESSMENT OF INTEGRATED APPROACH OF YOGA THERAPY ON OBESITY USING ELECTRO PHOTONIC IMAGING(SVYASA, 2018-03-14) ARAKSHITA SAHANI; Judu Ilavarasu; Guru DeoBackground and Introduction Obesity is becoming a serious global public health issue especially in developed countries. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), most of the diseases that today’s generation is suffering from, obesity is one of the major causes. Today among 2.1 billion people, nearly 30% of the world's populations are either obese or overweight. EPI or Electro Photonic Imaging system allows for direct, real-time viewing and analysis of changes in the energy field of human. The instrument Gas Discharge Visualization (GDV) that is based on EPI principle, measures electron emission from fingertips. Variation in images correspond to changing health status in different organ system, here we determined the characteristics of these GDV images in obesity participants. Methods Thirty-five participants with the age range from 20 to 60 years Obesity participants at Arogyadhama, in Prashanti Kuttiram of SVYASA Bangalore, Karnataka, India had participated in this study. All participants were given Integrated Approach of Yoga Therapy (IAYT) practice every day for one week according to Arogyadhama Schedule. The Gas Discharge Visualization assessments were taken before and after yoga. Result There were significant reduction in the scores of Endocrine System Balance, Pancreas, and Digestive System-Balance. Other parameters like Systolic Blood Pressure, Diastolic Blood Pressure, Breath Holding Time, Weight, Body Mass Index, Mid Arm Circumference and Exercise- Avoidance motivation scale were found to be significantly changed. Also Hip circumference and Waist circumference slightly changed after the one week of IAYT intervention. Conclusion The present study suggests that one week integrated Yoga therapy can improve the overall general well-being. This study provides strong evidence for use of GDV parameters in understanding obesity. Also findings show that one week of IAYT may bring a positive change in clinical parameters in obesity. Furthermore it may help in prevention and management of obesity.Item Effect of one-week IAYT on obesity using Electro Photonic Imaging(SVYASA, 2018-03-14) AMIT KUMAR; Judu llavarsu; Guru DeoBACKGROUND Obesity is the most challenging health conditions of the modern world and is spreading like an epidemic causing serious health hazards. The Gas Discharge Visualization (GDV) instrument is becoming popular to measure subtle energy level in human subjects. The instrument Gas Discharge Visualization measures electron emission from fingertip. Variation in GDV image corresponds to changing health status in different organ system. Here we determined the characteristics of GDV image patterns in Obesity participants. AIM The purpose of the present study was to use Electrophonic Imaging Technique to assess the effect of one week integrating yoga therapy (IAYT) on obese participants. METHODOLOGY Thirty-seven obese participants with the age range from 20 to 60 years at Arogyadhama of SVYASA University, Bangalore India, had participated. They were given Integrated Approach Yoga Technique (IAYT) practices every day for one week according to Arogyadhama Schedule for Obesity section and GDV assessments were made before and after one week. Inclusive Criteria Age range 20 to 60 years, and obesity participants who are in Arogyadhama at SVYASA University in Bengaluru, India. Exclusive Criteria Anybody with cut finger, or self-reported psychological problems, were excluded. RESULT Data were not normally distributed, and we have conducted non-parametric Wilcoxon’s sign rank test to see within group differences. The GDV results showed changes in various variables (p < 0.05) like Endocrine system, Chakras, Digestive system, and Immune system. CONCLUSION GDV was found to be able to show distinct changes in variables related to obesity.Item Effect of One Week Complementary Alternative Therapies On Patients Suffering From Obesity(S-VYASA, 2017-05) MAPDER, PROSENJITBackground Obesity is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide.
