The burgeoning field of integrative medicine necessitates robust, objective methodologies to assess the efficacy of traditional therapies such as yoga. Electro photonic imaging (EPI), a technique measuring biophoton emissions, offers a promising avenue for investigating the bioenergetic mechanisms underlying yoga’s therapeutic effects. This research paper delves into the application of EPI in the context of yoga therapy, focusing on three key parameters: Communication energy (C), Integral or Normalized Area (IA), and Entropy (E). Our analysis of illustrative cases reveals a consistent pattern of decreased entropy in affected organ systems following successful yoga interventions, while communication energy remains within a stable range. We propose that this regulation of bioenergy and its coherence, as captured by EPI, aligns with electromagnetic and living matrix models of biological organization. Furthermore, we explore the congruence between these findings and the theoretical frameworks of yoga and other traditional medicine systems, alongside advancements in gene expression and neuroplasticity. This integration culminates in a conceptual framework for a Unified System of Medicine, leveraging EPI as a translational technology. We discuss the implications of this model for optimizing EPI application in therapeutic settings and for future research endeavors aimed at bridging traditional and modern medical paradigms
