The basic premise of mind/body medicine is that the power of the mind is used to help the body and that people can be proactive in their own health care. Recent research has shown that the mind is capable of directly affecting the immune, endocrine and nervous systems.
Mind/Body approaches can do the following:
|
- Speed recovery from surgery.
- Reduce pain.
- Reduce the impact of cardio vascular disease
- Lessen the severity and frequency of medical symptoms.
- Decrease the nausea that accompanies chemotherapy treatment for cancer.
- Reduce the number of physician visits.
- Promote empowerment.
- Increase survival rates.
- reduce the use of medication and narcotics.
- Promote a state of well-being.
- Reduce the number of chronic headaches.
- Improve sleep. .

Meditation is complementary to traditional medicine by seeking to help the patient overcome the obstacles and negative effects of the disease while maximizing self-care and compliance.
Meditation can be useful as:
- An alternative and complimentary cancer treatment.
- A useful pain management tool.
- A relaxation technique.
- A means of reducing anxiety for cardiac patients.
- A means to promote natural healing.
