Abstract
Mastalgia has neither an organic etiology nor any definitive treatment, which affects women’s quality of life during their reproductive lives. Considering mastalgia as one of the psychosomatic disorder, mind–body interventions such as yoga would play an important role. This review is an effort to give a yogic concept in understanding the anatomy and physiol - ogy of the subtle aspects of human mind–body system that helps us to understand the imbalances that lead to evolution of chronic lifestyle-related diseases and their pathophysiology in a totally different perspective, which can help modern science to unravel some of the mysteries behind lifestyle problems.
