Meditation and Asthma

Although advances have been made in the diagnosis and treatment of asthma, the rate of asthma related mortality is increasing in the developed countries. Several studies indicate that meditation can be a powerful tool in asthma management.

For example, back in 1986 Indian researchers Nagendra and Nagarathna introduced a combination of yoga and meditation-training program among 570 bronchial asthmatics with follow-up. The results showed significant improvement in the individuals who practiced meditation and yoga regularly. The study indicated that this combination of yoga and meditation is also beneficial for the long term management in asthma.

In another study in 1998, Vedanthan and others divided 17 students into yoga (9 subjects) and non yoga control (8 subjects) groups. The yoga group practiced meditation and the control group didn’t. Results showed that the yoga group needed to use inhalers less than the control group. The yoga group also acquired a significant degree of relaxation, positive attitude and better yoga exercise tolerance.

Given that there is considerable evidence that emotional stress can either precipitate or exacerbate both acute and chronic asthma, it is expected that meditation, relaxation, and other stress reduction techniques will be effective in preventing and treating Yoga. In 2002, Huntley and others did a systematic review of previously published studies dealing with the impact of relaxation therapies on asthma. The review showed that the previous studies have found that muscular relaxation improves lung function in asthma patients.
