Stress is an unfortunately ever-growing malady in the modern world. Greater introspection has resulted in understanding that eliminating stress goes a long way in reducing other diseases as well. This is because a lot of the cures rely on psychological recovery. Experiments were conducted testing the placebo theory where patients recovered in spite of taking harmless but fake medicines, just because they were able to convince their bodies about the good effects of the said drugs. There is growing disillusionment regarding western modes of medical care. While it has benefitted millions, chronic pain is increasing. Even public funded institutions such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are at present overwhelmingly reliant on the intake of physical drugs. This study was conducted after detailed analysis from huge chunks of data warehousing done. It revealed that a middle path ought to be developed combining conventional western medicine with mind related training. And this changed approach needs to be undertaken from the top echelons through bodies such as the World Health Organization (WHO).
