Energy hygiene and wellbeing practices
Daily practices such as meditation, breathing and rest — where wellness concepts meet established stress research.
What the evidence is
"Energy hygiene" is a wellness concept from practitioner traditions, not a scientific term. Some of the practices it includes are well studied in their own right: for example, a 2014 meta-analysis of randomised trials found that mindfulness meditation programmes can produce small to moderate reductions in anxiety, depression and pain.
