The Application of Meditation for Treating Physical Illnesses

Meditation is an important topic in psychosomatic medicine, which studies the correlation between mind and body. Research has continued to reveal that meditation, one of the most advanced techniques for dealing with the mind, can also be a means of controlling the body. From a medical perspective, it is reasonable to be interested in the efficacy of meditation for treating physical illnesses. Being one of the five areas of clinical focus according to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) under the National Institute of Health (NIH) in the United States, meditation along with yoga has recently been used as an auxiliary treatment for mental or physical diseases by many medical institutions.
