Yoga Therapy for Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Learn how yoga therapy can help with IBS.
"Trials (showed) evidence for a beneficial effect of a yogic intervention over conventional treatment in IBS, with significantly decreased bowel symptoms, IBS severity, and anxiety."
- Clinical Gastroenterology & Hepatology, 2016
COURSE OVERVIEW
Beyond the common manifestations of IBS like pain, diarrhoea, constipation, and gas, IBS can lead to less obvious issues, such as anxiety, depression, and even phobias associated with social environments.
Emerging research suggests links between IBS and heightened sensitivity, female sex hormones, and secondary health issues.
At its core, IBS is believed to involve a disruption in the nervous system, affecting gut-brain communication, and yoga may help.
