A: Meditation is a natural process for restoring balance and harmony in the physiology which helps to re-enliven the body's own healing mechanisms. Many people noticed dramatic improvements in their health.
Today doctors are increasingly citing stress as a major factor in such illnesses as depression, anxiety, high blood pressure, cardiac pain, insomnia, diabetes, ulcers, cold, fever, asthma, arthritis and alcoholism. Even though meditation should not be considered a cure by itself, research has shown that it contributes to reducing stress and achieving deep relaxation and a profound state of rest.
By reducing stress, meditation has important benefits for a wide range of health problems, and also allows the mind and body to function with maximum effectiveness
Studies have shown that people who meditate regularly have long term reduction in blood pressure, and reduced use of both prescription and non-prescription drugs
