Breathing easy again: A Journey toward total health through yoga and ayurveda

Ashok Sahu, a 41-year-old resident of Anuppur, Madhya Pradesh, had been suffering from asthma since 2013. For many years, asthma remained a persistent problem, affecting his daily life and overall well-being. Despite being associated with and following the teachings of Pujya Maharaj Ji for a long time through television programs, he continued to face health challenges.

Inspired by the experiences of others, Ashok Sahu was advised to visit Patanjali Wellness, Haridwar, for a direct consultation and treatment. Acting on this guidance, he was admitted on 1 May 2024 and discharged on 10 May 2024. During his stay, he underwent a comprehensive and disciplined treatment program under the guidance of Vaidya Dinesh Kumar Gaurya and Vaidya Ashwini.



At Patanjali Wellness, he received holistic therapies from morning till evening. The treatment included therapeutic procedures such as hot and cold compresses and abdominal packs. Along with this, he practiced regular pranayama, including Anulom Vilom, Kapalbhati, Bhramari, and Bahya Pranayama, which significantly improved his respiratory health.

A structured yoga routine was also an integral part of his healing process. He practiced several yogasanas such as Bhujangasana, Shavasana, Pawanmuktasana, Shalabhasana, Surya Namaskar, Tadasana, Vakrasana, Ardha Matsyendrasana, Gomukhasana, Mandukasana, Yog Mudra, Chakki Chalan, Dhanurasana, Naukasana, Uttanpadasana, and yogic jogging, along with neck and knee exercises.

Another key aspect of his recovery was the disease-specific diet prescribed at Patanjali. The simple yet effective dietary plan supported his treatment and accelerated the healing process.

Through this integrated approach of Ayurveda, yoga, pranayama, therapy, and diet, Ashok Sahu experienced remarkable improvement in his health. Today, he states that he is completely healthy and free from asthma. His journey stands as a powerful example of how a holistic lifestyle and natural treatment methods at Patanjali can help overcome chronic diseases and restore overall health.
