Medical background of the A.R.T. method
The modern medicine of the future will develop along the concept of "Integrative Medicine". An essential part of integrative medicine are mind-body procedures. Mind body medicine includes medical procedures that aim to strengthen the self-help and health competence of individuals, for which mental as well as physical techniques are used today. (Brinkhaus and Esch 2021)
Mind body medicine often uses techniques that are based on a targeted sensory stimulation of vegetative self-regulative processes in the autonomic nervous system and that use meditative methods to activate a central network (default mode network). The "dmn" makes a decisive contribution to stress reduction and coordinated re-conditioning of the organism.
The A.R.T. is to be identified as a typical user-based measure within the concept of mind-body medicine, which makes use of the above mentioned mechanism and spromotes the active self-care of the user.
The positive effects of the A.R.T. in terms of improved stress management functions (resilience), psychological well-being and the alleviation of general physical complaints, we were also able to show in two of our own pilot studies. Several hundred applications and therapeutic successes in the daily patient work of the last two years, show the great potential of the A.R.T.
