Description
Munusamy Lakshmi and Raju Naganandini review in 2024 whether a simple relaxation method eases distress after childbirth. New mothers who give birth for the first time often face stress, anxiety, and low mood. The Benson method uses quiet focus and slow breathing to calm the body.
The pair searched studies from 2013 to 2024 that tested the method in first-time mothers after birth. Across the studies, stress, anxiety, and low mood fell, with effects from modest to large. The reviewers call the method promising and low in cost. They also ask for longer studies that track lasting gains and explain how the method works.
