Preparation to yogic breathing as well as some popular methods of yogic breathing (pranayama) are mentioned here, along with some additional health tips.
Mudra means “gesture or attitude”
A mudra may involve the whole body in a combination of asana, pranayama, bandha and visualization technique.
Define as “ Mudam anandam dadati iti mudra” means the actions that gives us pleasure, bliss is called mudra.
Mudra denotes the sense of evoking a hidden power or uniting with something large.
In hatha yoga, mudras are used in conjunction with pranayama (yogic breathing exercises), generally while in a seated posture, to stimulate different parts of the body involved with breathing and to affect the flow of prana, bindu, boddhicitta, amrita or consciousness in the body.

A Comparative Study of Lakshanas and Samprapti of BhasmakRog w.s.r to Hyperth...IJARIIT
Agni is the fundamental concept of Ayurveda, which has described an important factor of Digestion and Metabolism in our body. Agni converts Food in the form of Energy, which is responsible for all the Vital Functions of our body. According to Ayurveda, रोगाः सर्वेपि मंदाग्नौः.............॥ all diseases occurs due to Mandagni except Bhasmaka Rog. It occurs due to Agni vruddhi which response to Kshudda vriddhi, Dhatu ksheenta with various Pitta prakop Lakshanas, hence Bhasmaka Rog directly effects on Metabolism. In human body, Thyroxin Hormone also plays an important role in Metabolism. If level of this hormone increased, results to increase Appetite, Sweating etc. This high level of thyroxin called Hyperthyroidism and its symptoms are same as Pitta Prakopa Lakshana. So the question arises whether there is any correlation between Bhasmaka Rog and Hyprthyroidism? What are the Lakshanas and Samprapti of both conditions? With the present article, we are trying to study the Lakshana and Samprapti of Bhasmaka Rog with special reference Hyperthyroidism.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

India Clinical Trials Market: Industry Size and Growth Trends [2030] Analyzed...Kumar Satyam
According to TechSci Research report, "India Clinical Trials Market- By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F," the India Clinical Trials Market was valued at USD 2.05 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.64% through 2030. The market is driven by a variety of factors, making India an attractive destination for pharmaceutical companies and researchers. India's vast and diverse patient population, cost-effective operational environment, and a large pool of skilled medical professionals contribute significantly to the market's growth. Additionally, increasing government support in streamlining regulations and the growing prevalence of lifestyle diseases further propel the clinical trials market.
Growing Prevalence of Lifestyle Diseases
The rising incidence of lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer is a major trend driving the clinical trials market in India. These conditions necessitate the development and testing of new treatment methods, creating a robust demand for clinical trials. The increasing burden of these diseases highlights the need for innovative therapies and underscores the importance of India as a key player in global clinical research.

3. PRAANAAYAAMAPRAANAAYAAMA
• Our breathing rate has direct relationship
with our emotions and on general health.
• The practice of praanaayaama increases
the breathing volume and hence reduces
the breathing rate.
• Slower the breathing rate, better is the
lifespan, as indicated below –
6. • There are about 300 million alveoli in
the two adult lungs.
• These provide a surface area of around
1700 sq. ft. (one side of a tennis court)
• Together, the lungs contain 2,400
kilometers of airways approximately.
• An average adult body will contain
approximately 5 liters of blood.
HUMAN LUNGS
7. • The human heart pumps about 70 ml of
blood per beat of heart.
• If 72 beats occur per minute, then
about 5 liters of blood is pumped per
minute.
• About 7,200 liters of blood is pumped
per day. This adds up to 26,28,000 liters
of blood per year.
• About 18,40,86,000 liters of blood gets
pumped, by a life span of 70 years.
LUNGS & HEART
10. BIO-CHEMISTRYBIO-CHEMISTRY
The chemical reaction happening within our
body to yield energy, produced by the combined
effect of food intake and breathing, is:
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + 686 kcal.
The energy that is produced in the gross form is
measured in calories. The subtle form of energy,
called as “Praana”, is immeasurable.
Total volume of human lungs is about 5
litres, out of which only about ½ litre of air is
inhaled during normal breathing. In that
inhaled air, Oxygen’s amount is only 21%.
Exhaled air contains 16% Oxygen.
