COMPARATIVE CLINICAL STUDY TO EVALUATE THE EFFICACY OF GEETAM AND CHANDRANULOMAVILOMA PRANAYAMA IN KRODHA

Abstract

Krodha is a Manasika Vikara which can be assessed by Droha done by another person. Here is an attempt made to evaluate the efficacy of Geetam and Chandra Anuloma Viloma Pranayama in the management of Krodha. Forty subjects fulfilling the diagnostic and inclusion criteria were selected and randomly assigned into two groups. Group A was treated with Geetam, and Group B were treated with Chandra Anuloma Viloma Pranayama. The effect of treatment was assessed based on symptoms of Krodha, Intermittent explosive disorder and Buss and Perry Scale. Both Geetam and Chandra Anuloma Viloma Pranayama showed a statistically significant effect on the assessment criteria. On comparison between two groups, there is no statistically significant difference between Group A and Group B. Thus, the null hypothesis is rejected, and the alternative hypothesis (H1) is accepted i.e., There is an equivalent effect of both Geetam and Chandra Anuloma Viloma pranayama in the management of the Krodha.
