Abstract
In the current global situation, half of the world is experiencing ethnic and religious conflicts that impact millions of lives, particularly among women. The stress of war can lead to various health issues, such as cyclical mastalgia and psychosis. During times of conflict, access to medical treatment may be limited. However, the ancient practice of yoga is effective in treating various illnesses. This chapter will explore various current therapies and yoga therapy for cyclical mastalgia (CM). Previous research has suggested using primrose oil, vitamins, and physical activity as treatments for CM. However, there have been few studies on the use of yoga for cyclical mastalgia. This investigation also examined the impact of current therapies on psychological outcomes. The results showed that while biochemical clinical trials can be effective, they may have side effects, and primrose oil and seed treatment were ineffective. Integrated yoga therapy has been shown to provide high-quality treatment for individuals suffering from cyclical mastalgia.
