AN A-Z OF EMOTIONAL PAIN: STRESS

For years I have been successfully treating stress with acupuncture, massage and adjustments, then adding nutritional advice and suggesting homoeopathics for self-administration. Stress depletes the B group of vitamins and often magnesium levels also fall.

Your immune system is quickly exhausted if stress is allowed to become chronic. You become susceptible to colds and flu and find it hard to pick up after an illness. My first therapy of choice is moxibustion, a form of acupuncture. Such a gentle warming and relaxing therapy. Even children accept this smoky therapy after the first treatment, and grown-ups ask for it.

Stress that can lead to a ‘nervous breakdown’ is unnecessary when you have acupuncture. What you envisage would wipe you out for months is gone in two treatments. Patients are always embarrassed at how quickly they feel better. It is as if they had been putting it on, which they certainly weren’t.

The degree of stress experience varies with the delay in doing something about it — such as having a break, a holiday, denying there’s a problem or not recognising the signs. It’s the difference between being a hero or running away like a coward. The same amount of adrenalin is involved. It will depend on just how much stress you have put yourself under. How much can you take? Where is your breaking point? Treat the condition before you are a shaking mess.

I recommend whatever will help you quickly and effectively with as little expense as possible: hot baths; massage; adjustment; acupuncture; B complex vitamins; maybe a new job? A self-improvement course!

What you can do to help yourself:

1. Read self-help books.

2. Attend courses to raise your self-esteem.

3. Educate yourself beyond your present standard.

4. Use ‘new age’ techniques like rebirthing.

5. Try self-awareness courses.

6. Use accelerated learning techniques.

7. Seek professional help.

8. Write your own story, it helps to set it down.

9. Make your misfortune an asset. Remember Jimmy Durante or Barbra

Streisand’s nose?

10. Meditate on a flower. Memorise it as if you had to draw it from memory.
