Reducing oxidative stress through Vipassana meditation
Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Vipassana is one of India's most ancient meditation techniques. The study is undertaken to find out the effect of Vipassana intervention on serum MDA levels through a self controlled trial at Government Medical College and Hospital, Latur, by Department of Physiology and pathology. It is observed that before and after Vipassana practices the mean serum MDA levels in the subjects was 3.12+0.67 and 2.51+0.55 respectively. The average fall in serum MDA level was 0.71. Vipassana could contribute as mechanisms, which result in decrease in oxidative stress.
