Introduction: Saliva is increasingly used as a diagnostic tool as it is non-invasive, easily accessible, and less stressful compared to blood sampling. Saliva has a vital role in maintaining oral health. It is necessary for the salivary pH to be neutral in the oral cavity for the optimal functioning of its components. Stress has an effect on salivary pH. Objective: To study the effect of a mind-body intervention like Sudarshan Kriya yoga (SKY) on the salivary pH. Methods and Materials: An exploratory pilot study involving an open trial on 321 healthy individuals who were novice to SKY was conducted. The salivary pH was measured before and after a single 90-min session of SKY. Results: The salivary pH continued to be neutral after the intervention in the group that had initial neutral pH. There was a statistically significant shift of pH towards neutral in both the groups that had either acidic or alkaline pH initially. Conclusion: Mind-body interventions like SKY modulate the salivary pH to bring it to the range of optimal functioning. This pilot study provides information for future long-term studies that can be implemented with measures of anxiety and stress along with measuring other salivary biomarkers.

苏达山克里亚瑜伽对唾液酸碱度的影响:一项探索性试验研究

简介:唾液越来越多地用作诊断工具,因为与血液采样相比,它是非侵入性的、易于获取且压力较小。唾液在维持口腔健康方面起着至关重要的作用。口腔中唾液的 pH 值必须为中性,以使其成分发挥最佳功能。压力对唾液酸碱度有影响。目的:研究像苏达山克里亚瑜伽(SKY)这样的身心干预对唾液酸碱度的影响。方法和材料:进行了一项探索性试点研究,涉及对 321 名对 SKY 不熟悉的健康个体的公开试验。在 SKY 的单次 90 分钟会话之前和之后测量唾液 pH 值。结果:在初始中性 pH 值的组中,干预后唾液 pH 值继续保持中性。在最初具有酸性或碱性 pH 值的两组中,pH 值向中性的转变具有统计学意义。结论:像 SKY 这样的身心干预调节唾液 pH 值,使其达到最佳功能范围。这项试点研究为未来的长期研究提供了信息,这些研究可以通过测量焦虑和压力以及测量其他唾液生物标志物来实施。
