mental health |
|
|
The Shirodhara technique was tested on a group of 26 people who were unaware of what they were going to test. Each one received a treatment of 1 hour. This question was put before and after the meeting:
"If 0% is the minimum and 100% the maximum of physical and mental stress you have lived in your life, at which level are you now? "
The values before and after the session are compared.
The group showed a very significant reduction in the physical and mental stress as subjectively evaluated by the subjects. The average of stress for the group decreased from 41% to 8.9% for physical stress and from 42% to 7.5% for mental stress, as can be seen on the graph hereafter.
Further more, 54% of the group had 0% physical stress and 65% had 0% mental stress after the session. The two following graphs show the global decrease in physical and mental stress for the group studied expessed as the difference between the two areas. The blue surface shows the amount of decrease.
