Conventional medical management of HIV revolves round two principles:1. Inactivation or slow replication of virus.2. Provide antibiotic prophylaxis for patients with abnormally low CD4 T-CELL counts. Whereas naturopathic medical management provides:1. Slow disease progression2. Improved quality of life3. Improved immune function Uses of alternative medicine in HIV therapy: With standard medications wide range of side effects occur soon after beginning of treatment. These include diarrhea, rash peripheral neuropathy, liver abnormalities, diabetes and anemia and long term side effects like osteoporosis heart disease and liver failure. These side effects can be minimized by minimizing the standard medications and by using alternative medicines. With the use of standard antiviral therapy the virus may develop multi drug resistance. Effective results can be obtained by combining standard therapies with natural therapies.

One of those effective natural therapies that improve both mental and physical health of patients is Yoga therapy.

. . YOGA THERAPY:
Mr.Iyengar modified some yogasanas and developed Restorative asana that are useful in developing immunity. These yogasanas are more helpful for persons who are too sick or weak to perform more vigorous or classical poses. Healthy people can also practice these techniques when they are fatigued   or in conditions of overstress and lack of energy. They are effective in "relaxation response" and in counteracting the negative effects of the "stress response" on the immune system.
