There is not enough evidence to show mindfulness is beneficial to someone’s mental and physical health, a study claims.
A panel of 15 health experts led by a clinical psychologist at the University of Melbourne, Australia, analyzed mindfulness and if it actually helps with problems such as stress, depression, addiction and pain.
They found no sufficient evidence that mindfulness or meditation can impact the mental or physical health after 70 percent of clinical trials could not provide conclusive results.
Experts recommend for an improvement in studying mental practices in order to better determine the benefits for the body and mind.
