PY - 2022 T2 - Current Medical Diagnosis & Treatment 2022 AB - According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), mind-body medicine is the discipline that explores the interactions among the brain, body, mind, and behavior as well as the ways in which emotional, mental, social, spiritual, experiential, and behavioral factors can directly affect health. This definition distinguishes mind-body medicine therapies from therapies that are more established or mainstream but that may have similar mechanisms of action (eg, psychotherapies, behavioral training, support groups, education). Traditionally defined mind-body therapies include biofeedback, hypnosis, meditation, guided imagery, relaxation techniques, yoga, tai chi, and qigong.
