Mind Body Medicine

 Mind Body Medicine This is a general term for any medical practice where there is the influence of mental factors on general health problems. Some examples include prayer, yoga, biofeedback, and meditation.

Visualization is another useful technique. There is a body of scientific knowledge that supports many of these approaches. The etiology of their benefits is thought to be from a combination of enhancing immune system function, promoting positive attitudes and control over one's body, and by generally reducing anxiety.

The whole field of relaxation training, stress reduction, and meditation is an interdisciplinary field. Many medical problems are addressed and treated with these approaches, including coronary syndromes, gastrointestinal problems, and generalized anxiety.
