Chronic diseases such as hypertension, Diabetes, Asthma, and arthritis are on the rise globally, and managing them through conventional methods alone has proven insufficient. Integrating holistic approaches like Yoga therapy with modern medical treatments offers a promising alternative for improving patient outcomes. This paper explores the potential of combining Ayurvedic principles with modern Yoga therapy techniques in treating chronic diseases. Ayurveda, with its emphasis on balance, dietary practices, and herbal treatments, offers a foundational approach to enhancing the body's natural healing processes. When integrated with Yoga, which focuses on physical postures (Asanas), breathing exercises (pranayama), and meditation (Dhyana), a synergistic effect can be achieved. Research on Yoga therapy for chronic conditions has demonstrated improvements in physical function, mental well-being, and quality of life. However, integrating Ayurvedic practices, such as diet and lifestyle modifications, with modern Yoga therapy requires a nuanced understanding of both traditions. This paper presents a thorough analysis of the current literature on the integration of Ayurvedic practices with Yoga therapy and its effectiveness in managing chronic diseases. The objectives are to evaluate the benefits, challenges, and practical applications of such integration and to propose a model for its implementation in clinical settings. The hypothesis posits that combining these approaches can lead to enhanced therapeutic outcomes, offering a more holistic, personalized care model for individuals suffering from chronic conditions.
