Abstract

Humans are always striving to find remedies to become healthy and live more happily. Yoga can be as good as modern medicine because it manages lifestyle related health disorders. It is well known that despite the entire world reaches to technology and artificial intelligence, still people are yet to obtain positive health. The world has made advances in life expectancy and modern medicine but still people’s overall well-being is not better? The reason is allopathic medicine does not touch to the deeper layer of mind, emotion, and thought. This paper has brief opinion about how yoga can be better technique than the modern medicine based on certain yogic insights. According to intergovernmental health organization-WHO, health is a state of complete physical, mental, emotional and social well-being not merely an absence of disease. Yoga covers all the dimension of health, removes the root cause of disease i.e., psychosomatic (adhija category of illness) whereas modern medicine does not. The article also describe why people should move on to yoga from modern medicine practice by differentiating modern and traditional yoga.
