Stress Treatments
People from all over the world have been suffering from high-stress levels over the past few years. Men and women tend to handle stress differently. A person suffering from chronic stress suffers from different types of health issues, irrespective of their gender. These include obesity, heart disease, and mental health disorders. Here are some of the popular therapies available for stress treatment in men and women. So, check them out!
Herbal therapy
The elementary principle of herbal therapy is that the imbalance in a body makes it exposed to internal or external pathogenic influences. The goal of herbal therapy is to address the body’s imbalances, which result in blockages, which make the tissues undernourished in our bodies or dysfunctions in our organ systems. Herbs help to restore the imbalances to help the body better equipped in managing influences, such as stress and diseases.
Massage therapy
There are some small preparations to take care of before a massage session. Typically, the person should not eat anything immediately before the massaging session and should be clean.
A massage therapist usually conducts a session after you book an appointment. They also let you know the kind of preparedness required for an appointment. Some key benefits of massage therapy are as follows:
- Reducing physical or emotional stress and lowering anxiety
- Fostering feelings of well-being
- Improvement in mental awareness
- Increasing awareness of the connection between mind and body
- Alleviating overall stress and points of stress while inducing relaxation
Cupping therapy
Cupping therapy is an effective and simple therapeutic technique that can be used either exclusively or with massage or acupuncture therapies. You can consider cupping as the reverse of massage. Instead of applying pressure to your muscles, the therapist creates suction for pulling the muscles, connective tissues, and skin upward. There is a tight sensation you may feel around the cup. However, the sensation is generally soothing and relaxing. Some merits of cupping therapy are as follows:
- Lowers stress
- Relieve inflammation
- Treat headaches and chronic pain
Acupuncture for Stress and Anxiety
Acupuncture points can help energy flow smoothly, and alleviate stress and anxiety altogether. It works to ease stress by releasing endorphins, which are natural pain-killing chemicals in the brain. Additionally, acupuncture improves the circulation of blood throughout the body, which oxygenates the tissues and cycles out cortisol and other unwanted chemicals. The calming nature of acupuncture also plays a factor in decreasing stress. The experience of acupuncture is quite relaxing. Once the needles are in the affected areas, you are able to lie quietly on a comfortable table with low lighting and soft music in the background. This helps lower your blood pressure, decrease your heart rate and relaxes your muscles.
