Written by D. Braun


Continued from page 1

Reflexology, which helps a wide range of situations, not only cures specific ailments but can be used to keep you in good health and help build resistance to attacks of disease. In addition, this method often detects health problems before they become serious by you recognizing a sore or tender reflex.

Reflexology is a simple technique that can be applied at any time and practically anywhere. It is Nature's 'push button' secret for dynamic living, abundant physical energy, vibrant health, better living without pain, retaining youthful vigor and enjoying life torepparttar fullest.

STRESS AND REFLEXOLOGY

The benefits of Reflexology and Stress can be explained physiologically. Tension can be equated with stress. There are as many definitions of stress as there are authors of books on stress. Today everyone suffers from stress but no one knows what stress is. It could be stated that stress isrepparttar 113943 difference between a persons perceived ability to deal withrepparttar 113944 stressor andrepparttar 113945 reality ofrepparttar 113946 environmental demand.

This definition allows for varying degrees of stress to be felt by different people inrepparttar 113947 same situation. Irrespective of whatrepparttar 113948 stressor is,repparttar 113949 stress reaction is alwaysrepparttar 113950 same.

Seyle, 1956, termedrepparttar 113951 reaction to stress asrepparttar 113952 fight or flight syndrome. What this means is that when we are faced with a stressful situation, we either fight it or run away. The body releases hormones intorepparttar 113953 system that allow us to physiologically cope with this. For example, you have all heard of mothers who have hadrepparttar 113954 strength to lift up a car to rescue their children. This ability comes fromrepparttar 113955 rush of stress hormones, e.g. adrenaline intorepparttar 113956 bloodstream.

We also perspire profusely, (to slip out of a grasp), blood pressure increases asrepparttar 113957 blood leavesrepparttar 113958 extremities (so you do not bleed badly when cut), proteins and fats convert to glucose (to give you energy) etc. Oncerepparttar 113959 stress situation is overrepparttar 113960 stress hormones come back to normal levels.

Today however, it would be socially unacceptable to hit your boss if he was stressing you or to run away from home if your kids or spouse were stressing you. This means thatrepparttar 113961 stress hormones are continually being secreted and do not come back to a normal level. While these stress hormones play a vital role when faced with a stressor, they have a detrimental effect onrepparttar 113962 individual if they do not come back to normal levels. Prolonged secretion and circulation of these stress hormones causes damage torepparttar 113963 body.

The white blood cells (infection fighters) become depleted, neurotransmitters controlling mood are depleted and T-cells inrepparttar 113964 lymphatic system are broken down. Examples ofrepparttar 113965 effects of this are not hard to find. Just look at how many people who have been under stress become sick. How many people do you know who have lost a "significant other" through death or divorce or who became ill or contracted cancer?

Reflexology, by inducing relaxation, reducesrepparttar 113966 stress hormones so thatrepparttar 113967 body is able to produce T-cells, white cells and neurotransmitters so as to start healing itself.
