- Description
- The chapter examines mindfulness and immunology to understand how our immune system works with mindfulness practice. Research in this area calculates that mindfulness affects immune markers, including cytokines and natural killer (NK) cell activity, apart from effects shown with inflammation or immunityrelated diseases. The discussion also includes a look at newer trends, including brain imaging and more specific treatments and options provided by digitizing public health. However, the promising research limited by small sample sizes and intervention times persists. This part also advocates for increased rigorous, longer-term, cross-disciplinary work to clarify how mindfulness might influence immune health. 2025 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
