Can Yoga Clear the Arteries?

A one-year study of heart patients in India has found that yoga therapy and the positive thinking it produces can help reduce the size of blockages in arteries and also lower cholesterol levels.

'It's not about postures and breathing. I would say it's more about inner self-empowerment,' said Dr Satish Gupta, the Indian cardiologist who founded the Coronary Artery Disease Regression through the Healthy Lifestyle therapy programme that is offered to patients at the Global Hospital and Research Centre in Rajasthan, India.
