Stress
Under stress we release natural occurring chemical called adrenalin. This was useful for our ancestors to deal with the dangers of the day such as a woolly mammoth. It gave the caveman the energy and extra strength to either fight or ‘flight’ and escape a horrible death. In five minutes and it was all over – with the adrenalin level returning to normal. Today the woolly mammoth of change is with use all the time. For some people over weeks, months or years it can have major consequences for health. The cost of high levels of adrenalin in the body over time can lead to illness.
Reflexology is well known for helping to relieve stress. However many people find it difficult to see how working on the feet can possibly help with issues with the boss or family life. Clearly it will not make the boss behave differently towards you or the children suddenly tidy their room! So what is stress?
Stress is the body's reaction to a change that requires a physical, mental or emotional adjustment or response. Stress is a normal part of life that can help us learn and grow. Conversely, stress can cause us significant problems.
