Vishal Gandotra MD Recommends Nitaai Meditation

He is a board-certified Gastroenterologist practicing in Las Vegas with fifteen plus years of clinical experience.

The Pioneer and Co-Founder of Antistress Foundation USA, Vishal Gandotra MD, highly recommends Nitaai Meditation.

Dr. Vishal Gandotra’s Recommendation

“I do see a large number of IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease) patients in my practice. A significant number of patients don’t get good relief from conventional therapy. Multiple clinical studies have shown beneficial effects of meditation and mindfulness on these patients. A recent Harvard study concluded that elicitation of the relaxation response had a significant impact on clinical symptoms of IBS and IBD and on the expression of genes related to inflammation and the body’s response to stress.

“I have been recommending Nitaai Meditation as an adjunct treatment modality to my IBS and IBD patients for a long time now. Nitaai Meditation is a mindfulness based simple meditation with roots in ancient Himalayan practices. The patients incorporating it into their daily routine have shown significantly improved disease-related relief, anxiety reduction, and enhancement of overall quality of life. The results are just phenomenal and there are no side effects. It could be done at any time and place. It is a very simple yet powerful technique and I highly recommend it. We are planning to design a double blind randomized control trial at an institutional level.”
