Spirituality may be defined as a belief system that focus on intangible elements that transmit vitality and meaning to life. Such belief may mobilize highly positive energies and initiatives, with ilimited potential to improve person’s quality of life. Implications of spirituality on health have being scientificaly studied and documented in hundreds of papers. There is relationship between spiritualist engagement and many aspects of mental health, so that people experience better mental health and can copy with more success to stress if they are religious. Religious people are physically healthier, have more healthy lifestyles and demand less health assistance. There is an association between spirituality and health which is likely valid and possibly causal. It is fully recognized that people’s health is determined by interactions of physical, mental, social and spiritual factors. Health professionals already count on with scientific indications of the benefits of spiritual exploration on the therapeutic program of virtually any disease. The current paper cites the most relevant references about this issue.
