Sudarshan Kriya helps the body in removing impurities and toxins from the body This depends on what you are looking for: if you are looking for something to become a more healthy, happy, successful and peaceful human being, then Sudarshan Kriya has proven to be a very effective tool. Apart from personal experiences that can be found online and on YouTube as well, there is a range of independent scientific studies that have been published internationally that have documented a number of health benefits (physical, mental and emotion health) due to regular practice of Sudarshan Kriya.
If you are not looking for any of these, then you might want to skip the rest of this answer.
First of all I would like to mention that I have been an Art of Living teacher for the last 8 years, and I have been participating and volunteering in Art of Living programs for the last 15 years. I personally know people who have experienced relief and sometimes even total cure of various health problems, including very severe ones, after starting their regular practice of Sudarshan Kriya - sometimes after suffering from these problems and trying various types of treatments for many years. In this way, there are people for whom treatments or medication had little effect in slowing down or fighting a decease, until they started practicing Sudarshan Kriya. But that does not mean that we can (or should) generalize, as every person and case is unique, and even the cause for the disease or health problem will differ from person to person.
For example, a person who is suffering from migraines due to stress has a good chance of curing their migraines forever by practicing Sudarshan Kriya on a daily basis. If a person has migraines due to another reason, Sudarshan Kriya might not have the same 'results' for him or her, as the cause is different.
There are, to say the least, a wide range of well-documented health benefits that one derives of the regular and proper practice of Sudarshan Kriya, if one looks at third-party medical and scientific research. Many of these research findings are available online, indicating that regular practice of Sudarshan Kriya greatly decreases cortisol (a stress hormone), increase a sense of well-being, reduces anxiety and depression, as well as substance dependency, harmonizes brainwave activity of the two halves of the brain, and much more, up to the extent that it can even repair problems in one's DNA (see Rapid Gene Expression Changes in Peripheral Blood Lymphocytes upon Practice of a Comprehensive Yoga Program ). For some of the other research findings have a look at The Art of Living research website, where a lot of the published research has been compiled.
One of the main reasons why Sudarshan Kriya is very effective in improving one's health also has to do with our current lifestyle and the health problems we face. Nowadays most of our health problems have been found to be partially or entirely created by stress, as prolonged exposure to stress causes toxins to be released in the body, lowering our immunity. And as we all know, when the immune power reduces, the body is less (or not) able to deal with all kinds of health problems. A strong immune system allows the body to fight almost any disease or health problem, as it has the ability to cure most diseases, as long as it is strong enough to do so. Regular practice of Sudarshan Kriya improves one's immune system, allowing the body to fix many health problems itself - and this is also why sometimes medicines or treatment suddenly become more effective after starting the practice of Sudarshan Kriya, as the body is now able to fight the diseases and do the necessary 'cleaning' or 'repair'.
Basically Sudarshan Kriya helps the body in removing impurities and toxins from the body, and improves immune function (apart from other benefits). This does not mean that medicines or doctors are not required, but you definitely need less of them, or for less time, and their treatment would be more effective. Regular practice of Sudarshan Kriya will also help you prevent many health problems. However, please note that we never advise in our Art of Living courses to change or stop any medical treatment (because that is your physician's job! :-))
It is also important to note that Sudarshan Kriya should only be learned from a qualified Art of Living teacher and under their supervision, as there are a few medical conditions where special instructions are required based on your personal medical history (and in a few rare cases it might not be advisable to practice it).
