Patients with atopic dermatitis, an intractable disease, suffer uncontrollable psychological distress as well as various symptoms in their skin. Recent findings showed that mental factors such as stress may play a role in the disease and that some techniques for alleviating psychological problems were efficacious in the atopic dermatitis. Therefore, we proposed the mind-body medicine that has been used to decrease the negative influences of stress and to cure psychosomatic disorders as an additional remedy for the atopic dermatitis. A model on the therapeutic effect of mind-body medicine and some qualities of practician also were discussed.
