“…There was a signifi cant improvement in all variables studied in the patient with obesity using IYNM. Previous studies found that Naturopathy and yoga-based intervention promises better reduction of risk for cardiovascular diseases among the patients with metabolic disorders [5][6][7][8]. We also found that IYNM protocol was easy to adhere and the results might be sustainable if he continued the practice daily.…”

A 45-year-old male patient with the nature of sedentary lifestyle, diagnosed with obesity (BMI-33.2 kg/m2) since 2013, was visited for Integrated Yoga and Naturopathy Management (IYNM) for the weight reduction in our hospital on November 2019. He had mild pain over the both knees with sleeping disturbances. We advised him a tailor made individualized protocol for the weight management for the period of 6 months. The results showed reduction in weight (107.9kg to 90.6kg), Body Mass Index (BMI) (33.2kg/m2 to 29.32kg/m2), total cholesterol (209mg% to 185mg%), triglycerides (172mg% to 113mg%), Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) (102mg% to 94mg%), and High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) (44mg% to 48mg%). His knee pain minimized on discharge as observed on a Visual Analog Scale (7 to 3 points). He had an improved feeling of wellness and overall functional health. This case report suggests that lifestyle change in the form of IYNM is useful in the management of Obesity.

“…Study participants were women who had moderate to severe PMS. Four of the studies measured PMS symptoms with PSST questionnaires [ 15 , 22 , 23 , 26 ], two used PMOS [ 24 , 25 ], one used ACOG [ 14 ], and one used the PMS score [ 16 ] questionnaire. One of the studies used aromatherapy with massage while the other seven studies used aromatherapy as the exclusive intervention [ 16 ].…”

“…All eight studies investigated the impact of aromatherapy treatment on physical symptoms of PMS [ 14 – 16 , 22 – 26 ]. This meta-analysis found that aromatherapy treatment significantly reduces physical symptoms of PMS (WMD–1.28; 95% CI (−2.75, 0.19), I 2 = 94.6%) as well as fatigue from PMS (WMD–1.44; 95% CI (−2.44, −0.44), I 2 = 89.7%) based on the random effects model ( Figure 3 ).…”

ObjectivesPremenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a common disturbance among women of childbearing age. Aromatherapy is a commonly used form of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) to treat PMS. The purpose of this study is to quantify and summarize the effects of aromatherapy on premenstrual syndrome symptoms. Methods. PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases were searched through relevant search terms until October 2020. The effect sizes were pooled as weighted mean difference (WMD) and 95% confidence interval (CI) using the random effect model. Egger tests and visual inspection of the funnel plot were performed to identify the existence of publication bias. The I-squared (I2) test was applied to measure heterogeneity. Results. Eight studies (n = 8) were included in this analysis. The quantitative synthesis of evidence found that aromatherapy decreases PMS scores (WMD –13.83; 95% CI (−22.04, −5.63), I2 = 94.5%), total psychological symptoms of PMS (WMD –3.51; 95% CI (−4.84, −2.18), I2 = 82.6%), anxiety of PMS (WMD–1.78; 95% CI (−3.17, −0.38), I2 = 94.2%), depression of PMS (WMD–2.0; 95% CI (−3.65, −0.34), I2 = 93.7%), and fatigue of PMS (WMD – 1.44; 95% CI (−2.44, −0.44), I2 = 89.7%) compared to the control group. Conclusion. Aromatherapy is an effective tool for the relief of PMS symptoms. Additional randomized controlled clinical trials with different durations and essential oils should be conducted to confirm our findings.
