Abstract: The objective of this study is to compare the therapeutic effects of hand mudras with the benefits obtained through medicinal treatment alone. A total of 500 participants were included in the study, of which 250 participants relied solely on medicines, while the remaining 250 participants practiced hand mudra yoga for 30 days along with their prescribed medication. The study observed that participants who practiced hand mudras experienced greater improvements than those using medicines alone across several dimensions, including mental calmness, energy levels, quality of sleep, immunity, and emotional stability. Data were analysed using t-tests and descriptive statistics, and the findings empirically validate the positive therapeutic impact of hand mudras. This study highlights the scientific applicability of mudras within the framework of India’s traditional medical systems.
