Stress can be attacked by anyone, including the face of street traffic. But do not worry, because there is an easy way to cope with stress that can be done only by hand.
Research
shows Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is a treatment that combines
ancient Chinese acupressure with modern psychology. This technique can reduce levels of cortisol (a stress hormone) in the body and counteract the negative effects of stress.
This
is due to the emphasis made by hand can send calming signals to the
amygdala part of the brain that is responsible for the fight or flight
response.
"This
technique can create physical and psychological benefits are many such
as increased circulation, better sleep, relaxation of muscles and
joints, improve immune function, increase energy and relieve stress,"
said Jessica Ortner, as quoted from Womenshealth.com, Saturday (18 / 8/2012).
Although
not widely recognized, but the researchers suggest that EFT technique
can be effective in treating certain conditions such as post-traumatic
stress syndrome and stress.
Here are some points on the body that can be given emphasis to cope with stress, namely:
1. Point on the side of the hand near the little finger or commonly referred to as the karate chop point.
2. Point in the middle between the eyebrows which is also the start point of the nasal bone.
3. The point on the outside of the eye which if pressed felt a bone.
