3 simple stress soothers

I have read an article from The Natural Health Magazine, page 18 that talks about the 3 simple stress soothers.

In order for busy-goers to unwind and take a good time for themselves, it is best required and is advisable like it is a MUST for them (us) to heed on and make actual realization of these essentials steps for us to relax and unleash from the many pressures this world could ever have.

It is essential for us to drink green tea. Sip a cup of tea made from the roots of Ashwagandha, an herb also known as Indian ginseng.

When researchers in India isolated a component of the herb's roots and administered it orally to rats once a day for five days, the relaxing effect was similar to that produced by lorazeprem of Ativan an anti-anxiety medication.

It is also best recommended that we have to breath fully. Close your eyes and breathe deeply, keeping your belly soft. As you slowly breathe in through your nose, say "soft." As you breathe out through your mouth, say "belly."

When your belly is soft, the breath goes to the bottom of the lungs and you get a better oxygen exchange, explains James Gordon, M.D., founder and director of the Center for Mind Body Medicine in Washington, D.C. Deep belly breathing also activates the vagus nerve, which counteracts the stress response, and as the belly muscle relax, so do other muscles of the body.

It is also a need to let yourself cry. Crying when something makes you sad, angry, or frustrated eases stress.

Emotional tears have a different chemical makeup from other types, according to William H. Frey II, Ph.D., a biochemical and leasing tear expert, who theorizes that the chemicals unique to emotional tears may be the ones that build up in the body during stress. Getting rid of then through crying makes you better you.
