Stress-related disorders have become increasingly prevalent due to modern-day lifestyle challenges, resulting in significant physiological and psychological health consequences. Mind-body practices (MBPs) such as meditation, yoga, tai chi, qigong, and biofeedback offer holistic approaches to managing these conditions. This paper reviews the mechanisms by which MBPs influence stress physiology, highlights clinical evidence of their efficacy, and discusses their potential integration into conventional healthcare. Emphasis is placed on the role of these interventions in regulating the autonomic nervous system, improving emotional resilience, and promoting overall well-being.
