Stress and Pain are very closely related to health. Stress and pain can either be quick or constant; but always shows an inappropriate state of body and mind. It can result in anxiety, dizziness, tension, lack of concentration, irritability, depression, sleeplessness, muscle tension or cramps. So you are always in hurry to find a solution to this. We can not change the stress and pain but we can change our approach to deal with them. These are not going to make us sick but definitely are going to make us feel sick.
Stress can result in inappropriate response towards any thing, be it physical or emotional. It is an alarming state where adrenaline is produced due to exhaustion. Common symptoms of stress include many of the above factors along with headaches and elevated heart beat. Pain is an unpleasant feeling which shows many adverse reactions. It may include a headache, a burnt finger, stubbed toe etc. But a pain is considered basing on its intensity (amount of pain you are experiencing; mild, more or severe), duration of pain and location of the pain.
Ayurveda has a solution to it. Usually narcotic-medication is prescribed by physicians to relief anxiety, depression and tension. These medications make us lethargic and drowsy. This makes us feel light-headed always even during our work and other activities, which is very inconvenient. An Ayurvedic Massage Therapy, called Abhyanga, is always preferred over these medications. This therapy can be done at home to reduce cost. It can be done frequently at office and massage centers.
Unrefined Sesame oil is often used for the massage purpose. The oil is warmed before massage. Begin massage by rubbing your head in circular motions. Then proceed with large joint areas. Perform straight strokes on long bones. Follow this to complete massage of the whole body. Start massage before bath inside a warm place. A short massage before going to bed is also very helpful. After massaging the scalp and feet, wear socks or wrap your head to allow proper penetration of oil and prevent spotting on bed sheets, cushions and carpets. This technique guarantees permanent relief in many cases and quick results in many.
The results get better with the more you do it. It is very simple, but it has very quick calming and healing effect on our body.
