Symptoms of Stress
Some of the common symptoms that are
shown by an individual who is suffering
from stress are restlessness, anxiety,
moodiness, lack of control over emotions,
short temper, overeating or starving,
lack of concentration, indecisiveness,
biting nails, teeth grinding, feeling
lonely, detached or isolating self from
others, depression, sleeplessness, panicking
over trivial matters, resorting to smoking,
drugs, or alcohol, pessimism, stiffness
of muscles, irregular (in most cases,
rapid) heartbeats, and lack of interest
in activities such as hobbies that were
pleasurable earlier. Please note that
not all of the aforementioned symptoms
will be observed in everyone who suffers
from stress.
Also,
as mentioned earlier, feeling some stress
is normal and even desirable. But frequent
instances of stress or long-lasting
stress can cause complications. Stress
is often linked to headaches and migraines,
gastric troubles, body ache, general
malaise, and sleep apnea. It can also
compromise the quality of the immune
system and make it difficult to ward
off infections. Additionally, it can
aggravate an existing health condition.
Natural Cures
Try
some of the following natural cures
to cope with stress. Some of the symptoms
of stress such as headache, sleeplessness,
fatigue, and digestive troubles can
be treated by using common kitchen supplies
or by obtaining a few herbal remedies
from your herbalist.
Ginseng
Ginseng
is listed as an adaptogen, which means
that it is a natural herb product that
increases the body's resistance to stresses
such as trauma, anxiety, and bodily
fatigue.
Ginseng is used to restore vitality,
boost energy, reduce fatigue, improve
mental and physical performance, and
protect the body from the negative effects
of stress. It is also referred to as
a tonic for the adrenal glands because
it tones and maintains their overall
health.
Siberian,
Asian, and Panax ginseng are used to
cope with stress. Asian ginseng is the
most widely used variety for medicinal
purposes. Everyone responds to ginseng
differently, so it is recommended that
you begin treatment with a low dosage
and gradually increase the dosage. You
can consume ginseng in the form of powdered
root, capsule, or tincture.
Kava Kava
Kava Kava
is a sedative and is known to treat
nervousness, anxiety, depression, and
insomnia. It sharpens the memory and
concentration of individuals who experience
anxiety and it induces a peaceful sleep.
Kava kava contains a group of chemicals
called kavalactones that are responsible
for its anti-anxiety effects. Take one
capsule that contains approximately
40-70 milligrams of kavalactones two
to three times each day. Infuse ground
rootstalk of this herb with water or
coconut milk to manage stress. Kava
Kava is also a beneficial remedy for
insomnia and anxiety when it is mixed
with valerian root and honey.
Try some of the following tips to prevent
stress and the resulting negative effects:
 |
Identify
your stressors and evaluate
whether they are internal (which
can be controlled by you) or
external and identify how much
of the situation that you can
actually control. |
|
Do not
allow stress to take hold of
your mind and body. Think positive.
If you can not change the situation
then you must accept it. |
|
Every
morning meditate for at least
five to ten minutes. |
|
Close
your eyes, inhale deeply, and
relax. Try this whenever you
feel extremely stressed out. |
|
Instead
of becoming socially detached,
try to mingle with people. Talk
to someone whom you trust. Share
your concerns with others so
that they can help you. |
|
Finally,
do not allow acne to control
your life. You will be able
to control acne with the use
of care and caution. |
|
Set
aside some time to get involved
in an activity of your interest.
Gardening, painting, listening
to music, and playing a game
or musical instrument are a
few examples of possible activities. |
|
Rest
adequately. |
|
Manage
stress in your children by communicating
with them and preparing them
for life’s challenges.
Some “problems”
may appear trivial to you, but
you must remember that these
situations are very important
to them. Issues such as tests,
exams, bullying, and peer pressure
can negatively affect the psyche
of children. |
|
If you
have retired from your job,
keep yourself physically active
and mentally strong. |
|
Stay
away from stimulators and relaxants
such as drugs, caffeine, alcohol,
and nicotine. Even though they
appear to have a sedative effect
on your high-strung nerves,
they are more harmful than they
are beneficial. |
