Clinical Evidence on How MBSR Can Ease Symptoms of Stress & Anxiety

MBSR
Evidence

There's increasing evidence that Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR) could help to reduce our anxiety levels and teach us new ways to manage stress. The results of various clinical studies and research speak for themselves, highlighting benefits such as:

A 70 per cent reduction in anxiety
Fewer visits to your GP
An ongoing reduction in anxiety three years after taking an MBSR course
An increase in disease-fighting antibodies, suggesting improvements to the immune system
Longer and better quality sleep, with fewer sleep disturbances
A reduction in negative feelings like anger, tension and depression
Improvements in physical conditions as varied as psoriasis, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome.

The evidence in support of MBSR is so strong that almost three-quarters of GPs think it would be beneficial for all patients to learn mindfulness meditation skills.
