STRESS

Stress is not an imaginary illness as is often said to be. Stress is a term often used to describe a large group of complaints. Stress is not expressed in only one particular way. Some get stomach ulcers others become very irritable.

CAUSES OF STRESS

· Day to day irritations: Small events like a computer that freezes up all the time or constantly difficult customers cause stress.
· Continuous strains such as a difficult boss, financial problems or a bad relationship.
· Traumatic experiences for instance a divorce, a car accident or a sudden death.

EFFECTS OF STRESS

Stress can cause problems on a mental as well as a physical level. Examples of this: neck pain, lower-back pain, diarrhoea, heart palpitations and sleeping problems but as well depression, anxiety attacks, concentration problems and heightened irritability. Bach Flower Essences will focus on resolving the emotional problems, which will therefore reduce or take away the physical complaints, which are often caused by the person’s mental state.

BACH FLOWER ESSENCES HELP WITH:

· Irritability

Somebody suffers from stress is mostly quickly irritated. He is very touchy and can’t tolerate much. Bach Flower Essences will provide peace and therefore create a higher tolerance level towards others.

· Nervousness and impatience

Nervousness and impatience are typical behaviour of somebody suffering from stress. Everything has to move fast. The nervousness can be seen in the way the person behaves. Flower essences will make you feel more patient and less nervous. Tranquillity and peace will bring the person back into balance.

· Anxiety attacks

Anxiety attacks are typical for people suffering from stress. When something doesn’t go the way it supposed to, this will cause them to become anxious and start to panic. Sometimes even without a particular reason they can feel fear come to the surface. With Bach Flower Essences we can neutralise this fear so the person becomes calmer and doesn’t panic.

· Concentration problems

Because of having so much on your mind, it is hard to fully concentrate. Certain things get forgotten, therefore contributing to the overall level of stress. Bach Flower Essences help the person to deal with one thing at a time and not run ahead of him or herself. This will help to keep the person’s full attention on the job at hand.

· Depression

At one stage when suffering from stress it is possible a person can get down and depressed about things. The person will go through a period of melancholy, which can last for a long time. We try to prevent this through the use of flower essences. Bach Flower Essences bring lightness and joy, which will cause the gloom to vanish.
