Is it true that regular meditation improves immune system function?
Unclear. A 2018 review reports meditation has been shown to enhance immune function in clinical patients, and a systematic review of 20 randomized trials found only tentative, replicated-in-part evidence that mindfulness meditation is associated with changes in select immune markers, cautioning against exaggeration. Both cover only part of the general claim that regular meditation improves immune system function.
