Transcendental Meditation and Health
Many doctors and health professionals practise Transcendental Meditation themselves and recommend it to their patients.
You can read questions and answers with doctors, on a wide-range of medical conditions throughout these pages. Randomised controlled trials directly comparing Transcendental Meditation with other programmes have found that it is more effective in bringing about sustained long-term relaxation and reduction of stress hormones in daily life, and in promoting a healthy long life.

"I learnt TM 25 years ago and without doubt it is the best thing I ever did. I have no idea how I would have managed as a full time GP without this technique to reduce stress and charge up my batteries. I have seen literally thousands of people gain benefit from TM and recommend it without hesitation."
Dr Elizabeth Young, GP
