Summary

This study looks at whether Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Daoyin exercises can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression in 20 adults over 12 weeks, plus a 12-week follow-up. Researchers will measure mood and sleep changes, and explore possible biological links like inflammation and gut bacteria. The goal is to see if this gentle mind-body practice offers lasting relief.
