Stress and anxiety are so prevalent in our society that we almost think of them as normal, but they’re not. If you are suffering from ongoing every day stress due to work or lifestyle, then you are putting your body under an immense strain. When you’re stressed, all of the body’s natural resources go towards dealing with the stress factors and your everyday maintenance and repaid ability is reduced. If this continues long term it can lead to severe side effects and illness. Reflexology and massage are a great way of managing and reducing stress and the stress hormone, cortisol. You may also want to try meditation or mindfulness.
