In our daily
lives, it appears that stress is inevitable. No matter what we are doing, it
appears like stress has affected each of us. As we progress farther into the
technology age, we discover that we are so connected to the outside world that
stress enters our lives twenty-four hours a day.
Most individuals
are unaware that there are numerous techniques to combat stress. In our
ever-increasing pursuit for a "fast fix," we stop listening to our
bodies and the stress-related warning signs and instead seek an easy-to-swallow
pill.
While Western
medicine addresses an illness based on its symptoms, holistic and natural
medicine considers the concept that the body and mind are interconnected to the
extent that treating the disease and its symptoms may not be sufficient. A
holistic practitioner investigates the lifestyle issues that may be to cause.
The body is
naturally equipped with self-healing mechanisms due to its design. However,
these processes require time. Emergency circumstances that require a
"rapid fix" are best treated with Western medicine.
However, stress
accumulates over time and is almost impossible to eliminate overnight. This is
why holistic or natural treatments can be beneficial. Holistic practitioners
utilize a variety of techniques, including accupressure, massage, and herbal
remedies, to reduce stress and calm agitated patients, as stress interferes
with the immune system and hinders the body's ability to heal itself through
natural mechanisms.
Through holistic
practices, a person is able to employ his or her mind to increase immune system
function and overall health. However, in the majority of cases, a mix of
Western medicine and holistic treatments may be the most effective way to
"jump start" a person's capacity to get their stress levels back on
track.
Stress is not
merely a mental or psychological condition. It can show in a variety of
physical conditions and exacerbate existing ones. While the greatest treatment
is to let the body to heal itself, a combination of medical and holistic
treatments may be just what you need to get your body in the correct position
to do so.
