There is a global rise of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), causing significant morbidity and mortality. Risk factors of NCDs commonly include drinking alcohol, smoking, eating unhealthy diet, and sedentary lifestyle. The current health-care system faces challenges dealing with them. In order to deal with this pandemic, the strengthening of primary health centers (PHCs) at community level is required, which supports the principles of promotion, prevention, and treatment of NCDs. Yoga is an ancient practice encompassing physical, mental, social, and spiritual techniques to obtain health. Numerous studies have proven the potential benefits of Yoga in reducing chronic physical and mental health issues, making it a cost-effective method to enhance overall well-being and reduce health-care costs. This review paper aims to explore the profound impact of integrating yoga in PHCs, focusing on its benefits in enhancing patient outcomes, supporting overall health and wellness. The study searched PubMed and Google for scholarly articles on yoga in primary care, public health care, promotion of health, rehabilitation care, cancer, wellness, prevention, health care, etc. By examining the role of yoga in PHCs, this paper seeks to provide insights into the potential of yoga as a complementary approach to conventional treatments. The paper concludes that the burden of NCDs can be addressed by increasing human resources and promoting preventive health care through Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy personnel. Integrating yoga in PHCs will raise awareness about lifestyle management and ultimately reduce the prevalence of diseases.
全球非传染性疾病（NCDs）呈上升趋势，导致了严重的发病率和死亡率。非传染性疾病的风险因素通常包括饮酒、吸烟、不健康饮食和久坐不动的生活方式。当前的医疗保健系统在应对这些疾病方面面临挑战。为了应对这一流行病，需要加强社区层面的初级卫生保健中心（PHCs），这支持了非传染性疾病的促进、预防和治疗原则。瑜伽是一种古老的修行方式，包含身体、心理、社会和精神技巧以实现健康。众多研究已证明瑜伽在减少慢性身心健康问题方面的潜在益处，使其成为提高整体幸福感和降低医疗保健成本的一种经济有效的方法。这篇综述文章旨在探讨将瑜伽融入初级卫生保健中心的深远影响，并着重阐述其在改善患者预后、支持整体健康和福祉方面的益处。该研究在PubMed和谷歌上搜索了关于初级保健、公共卫生保健、健康促进、康复护理、癌症、健康、预防、医疗保健等方面的瑜伽学术文章。通过研究瑜伽在初级卫生保健中心的作用，本文旨在深入了解瑜伽作为传统治疗补充方法的潜力。文章得出结论，可通过增加人力资源以及通过阿育吠陀、瑜伽和自然疗法、尤那尼、悉达和顺势疗法人员促进预防性医疗保健来应对非传染性疾病的负担。将瑜伽融入初级卫生保健中心将提高对生活方式管理的认识，并最终降低疾病的患病率。
