AYUSHDHARA June 30, 2023
Smriti meditation, a guided psychotherapeutic technique derived from Ayurveda, significantly reduced anxiety symptoms and improved quality of life in ten adults with generalized anxiety disorder. Participants aged 18–60 years received 3–5 sessions of 1–2 hours each over 15 days, with follow-up one week later. Scores on the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale improved across all domains. The findings suggest the technique is effective within a short period.
