Yoga Treatment for Drug Addiction:
Asanas
Pranayama
Yognidra Exclusively for drug addicts
Beside the above mentioned asana and pranayama practice of yoga nidra, concentration and meditation gives the best result.
Because Yoga acts as a natural "stimulant" by increasing your energy level, you may find yourself cutting down on your drug intake without making a conscious decision to do so. Yoga will make you stronger and healthier.
It is quite necessary to shower love, goodwill and sympathy if the patient is not true to himself or till he does not leave his internal wish to restart taking the intoxicants. If this precaution is not observed, when the temporary self-control is lifted, the addict returns to the original state violently with double the strength and speed and gets again bound with the intoxicant.
