Yoga, a mind-body practice, and naturopathy, a holistic approach to healthcare, have gained recognition for their potential health benefits. This review synthesizes current research to highlight how these practices affect immune system function. Various studies indicate that yoga and naturopathy can enhance immune responses, reduce inflammation, and improve overall well-being. We will examine the mechanisms through which these practices impact immunity, supported by tables and figures summarizing key findings.
