Yoga Helps Breast Cancer Survivors Sleep, Reduce Inflammation After Taxing Treatment Dr. Janice Kiecolt-Glaser, a professor of psychiatry and psychology at the Ohio State University and lead author of a the new study, said in a press release that within 12 weeks of practice, the ancient Indian mediation technique was shown to reduce fatigue by up to 57 percent and inflammation by up to 20 percent in female patients emerging from successful but taxing breast cancer therapies. This showed that modest yoga practice over a period of several months could have substantial benefits for breast cancer survivors, she said. We also think the results could easily generalize to other groups of people who have issues with fatigue and inflammation.”
