The MSBR program remains the gold-standard program for relieving physical and mental suffering associated with illness. Mindfulness training can promote self-awareness, self-care, self-regulation, and self-management of disease. It can ‘buffer’ emotional and physiological reactions to stress, providing one plausible biological mechanism for protecting against stress-related diseases.  MBSR is recommended as an adjunct treatment for people who are suffering with hypertension, diabetes, cancer, chronic pain, Parkinson’s, osteoarthritis, MS, rheumatoid arthritis, gastrointestinal disease, and migraine.  This support can reduce the mental health burden that often accompanies illness.
