Abstract
The mild to severe stress of juggling work and family that eventually develops into Anxiety Neurosis is something every working woman has to deal with. The mental and physical effects of prolonged stress are known as Rasavaha and Manovaha Srotasdushti, respectively. Constant anxiety causes abnormalities that make it difficult to function normally in daily life. In the workplace, women who suffer from anxiety neurosis may find relief through pranayama. In this trial we studied the efficacy of Kumbhak Kriya Pranayama from the "Kumbhak Paddhati Text": in Treating Anxiety and Neurosis in Professional Women. Here, we have provided the results of a randomized, prospective, controlled clinical trial with an open label, total 100 female patients working for more than 8 hours every day and 50 patients with anxiety neurosis were enrolled and randomly assigned to either the Experimental Group or the Control Group. Everyone in the Experimental Group was instructed in various forms of Pranayama and then monitored on Days 7, 21, and 42. Follow-up evaluation based on subjective and objective indicators. The data was put through the right statistical procedures so that conclusions could be drawn. In clinical evaluations, selected Pranayama - Kumbhak Kriya from the "Kumbhak Paddhati Manuscript" showed promising results for treating anxiety neurosis in professional women. Neither during nor after the research period were any untoward effects recorded. So, Kumbhak Kriya-selected from Kumbhak Paddhati Text i.e., some Pranayama techniques can help working women with Anxiety Neurosis.
