Stress management for recurrent colds?

Mind-body medicine is part of any holistic treatment program. A 2001 study found that children who received training in stress management and guided imagery had shorter colds and flu infections, as well as improved psychological state measured one year later, compared with controls who were on the wait list. Conclusion – stress management may help shift the tendency to catch colds and might work synergistically with other treatments such as vitamin C to shorten the duration of a given cold.
