Abstract
A healthy digestive system is the key to total health. Digestive system diseases contribute a big proportion of all pathologies. Yoga is being recognised worldwide as the solution to these problems. Most of the digestive system disorders have a psychosomatic aetiology viz. indigestion, chronic constipation, diarrhoea, irritable bowel syndrome and acid-peptic diseases etc. Yoga exerts dual effect on the body. In addition to physical strengthening, it provides psychological benefits also. It should be implicated as an essential part of life to prevent the manifestation, to alleviate and to decrease the frequency of recurrence of various diseases related to digestive system.
