The world where we live in today can hardly be separated with this word “stress”, people spend so much money going to doctors, buying different kinds of medications to feel better. Infact I consider myself to be one of them until I started to do my own research, tried several aproaches personally and realizing what the cause really is. I would visit he doctor before at least twice a month but since I strated this routine I have not gone to one in two years.
The signs of stress: Backache,headache, fatigue, indigestion,cold sweats,palpitations, insomia, nusea, unexplained loose bowel movements or constipation and it the body cannot cope up with it depression comes in and the feeling of hopelessness.
