It is well known, that disturbances at the level of Manas (mind) are the starting point in the development of imbalances at the physical level: problems of the "subtle plane" find a way out at the "gross" physical level, become tangible, this is what we call psychosomatics.
Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment help to prevent diseases, correct existing disorders, and therefore prevent the development of secondary conditions.
