Abstract
Eastern integrative medicine includes centuries-old practices and treatments which have quite recently garnered significant attention in Western society. Numerous traditional medicine techniques such as yoga, sound healing, Qigong, Tai Chi Chuan, and acupuncture have recently been studied in relation to their potential for reduction of human chronic stress, a widespread societal health problem. These ancient treatments present considerable potential for stress reduction globally. Thus, the present authors recommend that substantial resources be devoted to the study of these practices as potential tools for stress reduction and improvement in public health.
TL;DRIt is recommended that substantial resources be devoted to the study of traditional medicine techniques such as yoga, sound healing, Qigong, Tai Chi Chuan, and acupuncture as potential tools for stress reduction and improvement in public health. (Semantic Scholar)
