Abstract
This randomized controlled trial aimed to find the effect of OM chanting and Yoga Nidra on the
inflammatory biomarkers such as C reactive protein (CRP), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and
monocyte-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) in hypertensive subjects.The participants included both genders and
were aged between 25-65 years. The subjects were randomly grouped into age and gender-matched
groups. The experimental group received Om chanting and Yoga Nidra as the intervention and the
control group were not practicing any intervention. Sample collection was done initially before the
practice and on the 30th day and the 60th day after the practice. The total count, neutrophils and
lymphocytes counts showed a significant difference (p<0.05) in the experimental group. NLR and MLR
and CRP were significantly changed in the experimental group on 60th day (p<0.05) .Therefore, OM
chanting and Yoga Nidra are effective interventions on the inflammatory biomarkers among
hypertensive subjects.
