Coronavirus and The Role of yoga to subside effect of covid-19

 

 

Novel COVID-19 is triggering the re-emergence of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Coronavirus is an infectious disease, and since December 2019 spread globally. The World Health Organization declared the Covid -19 outbreak a pandemic. Time from exposure to onset of symptoms of Covid-19 is generally two and 14 day, an average of 5 days. The lungs are the organ most affected by the virus.

 

The unprecedented times, now we are witnessing and becoming a part of the historic war waged against an unknown disease COVID-19 pandemic sweeping the world, growing concern about the unprecedented extend of coronavirus outbreak in the world. The most of us in self-isolation or quarantine, the hard times we have ever seen before constrains all of us to stay home and the pressures put on our mental and physical health also, what will next. While staying at home or social distancing and applying proper cleansing method, we can fight against coronavirus. We must develop our immune system firstly, and keep well in the fight against coronavirus. The immune system keeps the gut in the healthy state always, and the digestive enzymes do their ascribed work efficiently.

 

 

What is immune system?

Immunity is the biggest ally in the fight against coronavirus pandemic. Studies show that weakened immunity is more susceptible to the worst outcome. The immunity system is the condition; in which an organism can resist disease or the state of not being susceptible. The immune system in our body is an ability that protects us against disease; and, including the thymus and bone marrow and lymphoid tissues, which protects the body from foreign substances and pathogenic organisms by producing the immune response. A bodily defence response is an immune reaction of the body, which recognizes an invading-substance; such as an antigen: a virus or fungus or bacteria or transplanted organ, and produces antibodies specific against that antigen. The immune globin is a class of proteins produced in lymph tissue in vertebrates; and that function as antibodies in the immune response.

 

 

How yoga is helpful to protect us from the virus

Yoga comprises asanas, pranayama, mudras, shat karma and meditation; and you can adopt particulars set of asanas, pranayama and meditation for a day to do, all depends on your will.

The shat-karmas are of six practices 

1. Neti – To clean nostrils.
2. Dhauti- To clean the internal organ of the body.
3. Nauli – To clean and strengthen intestines.
4. Basti-Cleans the colon and anus.
5. Trataka- Cleanses the eyes.

      6 Kapalbhati-Cleanses head.

 

Neti: Neti is for purification of the nostrils and for regulating the breathe within. Neti purifies the skull, the brain, mouth, sharpens the eyesight, and cures all types of problems related to the organs above shoulders. Those who want long, strong and shiny hair would benefit from this technique. Neti becomes remedy for all the diseases that result from colds and catarrh. The French Academy of medicine hailed that by practising Neti regularly beneficial results, are seen in all such cases, they further advocated that more than 75% of the world population of having great need of such sorts of methods. The desired results can be gained within couple of days. Dr. Glorger Gantier says that Neti is a panacea that it cures deafness, headache, snoring, asthma and eyesight.

 

Jala-Neti, Gajkarni/Shitakarama-Jala Neti and Siddha Jala Neti are all a sort of Neti and should to be practiced with normal water with a little salt. The salt water that passes through the nose also acts as a bacteria killer. Neti maintains the level of pH scale in the body that removes the acidic elements from the nose firstly. The nose and the mouth are ever of two organs that have a direct connection with its surrounding environments whether it be by breathing in out or taking foods.  How Neti maintains the pH level in the upper area of the body first and then the lower portion of the body lets first understand what pH. is.

Our body works within a pH range of 7.0 to 7.8. All living organisms can survives only in a narrow range of pH (7.0 to 7.8). The pH in our life has played an important role as we see in our digestive system; as is also the case in tooth decay when pH is lower than 5.5. Bacteria present in the mouth produce acids by degradation of sugar and food particles remaining in the mouth after eating. It is worthwhile to rinse mouth with water or use toothpastes to clean the teeth and neutralise the excess acid to help prevent tooth decay. Rubber Neti, Jal-Neti, Gajkarni-Neti and Siddha-Neti are to be practised with salty water, as it possess the same pH-7 that will obtain the same outcome. The water and salts are enough to eradicate all sorts of problems from the body. Without any medicines aspirant cures their whole body by using water and salt. Since the age’s yogis have performed shat-karma Kriya to fine-tune their bodies by using water and salt without knowing the pH scale. However, modern science opens with discoveries regarding health issues.
