...Coumadin is the "blood thinner" we use when you've had a stroke, heart valve replacement or blood clot. It works by poisoning an enzyme in your liver that helps produce clotting factors.

The group that was tested ranged from 25-50-year-olds who meditated lightly—approximately 40 minutes a day. The implications of these findings could be very important, said Lazar and Benson. After completing this study, Lazar said she believes...
