During my medical internship I developed a mild auto immune condition that I was desperate to get rid of it served as an annoying antenna for the level of stress in my life. The moment the stress intensified, so did the condition. I lived with my antenna until I took up hot yoga as a hobby. While I was studying pupil Lama Tree in London. Pupil Lama tree is a niche specialty within the field of neuro ophthalmology, dedicated to the study of pupils movements, how fast the pupil gets bigger, what it looks like, how quickly it shrinks. And it's a delicate microscopic fluttering czar, endlessly fascinating. If you appreciate that, the pupil is a direct window to the autonomic nervous system, the pupil dilates when the sympathetic input reaching it is intensified, which is why your pupils look big if you are stressed. I discovered over the course of a few months of practicing hot yoga that my own baseline pupil measurements appeared to change, suggesting the possibility of a reduction in my baseline sympathetic nervous system activity. In parallel with this observation by auto immune conditions seemed to shrink to until it disappeared completely.
