stress
Reflexology is excellent for relieving stress and restoring the natural equilibrium of the mind and body. It allows you to completely switch off and ease away any stored tension both, physical and mental. It balances the hormones and nervous system, aids breathing and relaxation. Blood circulation is improved, allowing oxygen and nutrients to be carried around the body more efficiently, particularly to the brain.
It is generally accepted that 75% of all disease is caused by stress. If you can eliminate stress from your life, you will be closer to eliminating illness.
Stress is the way that you feel and react when excessive pressure is placed on you. A small amount of pressure can be quite productive, give you motivation, and help you to perform better at something.
However, too much pressure, or prolonged pressure, can lead to stress, which is unhealthy for both the mind and body. Everyone reacts differently to stress, and some people may have a higher threshold than others. Too much stress often leads to physical, mental, and emotional problems.
The following are just some of the symptoms of stress:
- Anger
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Food cravings
- Lack of appetite
- Frequent crying
- Difficulty sleeping
- Feeling tired
- Difficulty concentrating
- Chest pains
- Constipation or diarrhoea
- Cramps or muscle spasms
- Dizziness
- Fainting spells
- Nail biting
- Nervous twitches
- Pins and needles
- Feeling restless
- A tendency to sweat
- Breathlessness
I also work with a clinical psychologist and can refer to her if you have specific more in depth issues which you would like to discuss.
