Description Chemotherapy results in severe nausea and vomiting (CCINV) along with
newlineaccompanying symptoms and can cause severe distress amongst cancer patients. These
newlineclusters of symptoms are not given importance due to their subtle and subjective nature
newlineof presentation. CCINV needs to be addressed through a holistic understanding, as there
newlineis a disparity in the treating and the practicing guidelines for efficient management and
newlinecomplete control of nausea and vomiting. Traditional systems of healing like Yoga and
newlineÄyurveda, are holistic in their approach and prescribe specific practices for GI
newlinedisturbances based on the concept of Jäöarägni (Jathara-gastric, Agni-fire), defined as,
newline the collective subtle energy that encompasses the entire digestion process. According
newlineto Äyurveda, CCINV is a manifestation of Impaired Jäöarägni.The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effects of an integrated yoga program on
newlineJäöarägni, autonomic, psychological and psychosocial factors in cancer patients with
newlinesolid malignancies and lymphomas, receiving highly or moderately emetogenic
newlinechemotherapy.The objectives of the study were: (i) to develop and standardize a checklist to assess
newlinecancer chemotherapy induced JäöarägniImpairment that relies on gastrointestinal (GI)
newlinesymptoms described by Äyurveda, (ii)to conduct a controlled study to assess the effect
newlineof yoga therapy for CCINVin patients undergoing chemotherapy on Jäöarägni
newlineimpairement, (iii) to look at the effect of integrated yoga on autonomic variables (HRV
newlineand gastric autonomic function) and (iv) to study the effect of integrated yoga onpsychological distress(appetite reduction, cardiac and, stress, anxiety, depression, and
newlinequality of life).This was athree arm randomized control trial on patients undergoing
newlineconventional treatment for cancer.
