Abstract:
How might prescribed meditation decrease illness? Is the “gut-to-brain axis” impacting mental health and wellness? How might it promote wellness and healing from illness? This review of the literature attempts to answer these questions. Psychological health may correlate. This review analyzes the nature of meditation, yoga and diet as it pertains to therapeutic benefits. It concludes with the need for more psychiatrists to receive training in meditation so that they can augment their practices with this important technique (1) supported by 40 years evidence-based research of long-lasting reductions in stress and stress-related illness.
