AYUSH Ministry advises Sheetali Pranayama to combat heatwave

Amid rising temperatures, the AYUSH Ministry recommends Sheetali Pranayama, a cooling breathing technique that helps reduce body heat, stress, and fatigue. Especially beneficial for older adults, the practice may improve mental calmness, support digestion, and promote better overall well-being. It aligns with International Yoga Day 2026's theme, 'Yoga for Healthy Ageing.'
