MSNBC Health reported on a new study that reveals more and more American doctors are recommending that their patients seek out yoga, tai chi, meditation, and deep breathing. The study, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine found that more than 6.3 million Americans use mind-body therapies based on a referral from their physicians. By comparison, some 34.8 million seek out these therapies on their own without doctors’ orders.
