STRESS! Don't Let it Make You Sick

Chronic and acute stress is at the root of most physical illnesses.
Trauma and constant stress are part of everyday life. But many of us are not physically and mentally keeping pace with the effects of the environment we live in. Staying well and living life to its fullest depends on each person having skills to relax and restore. If regenerative practices are not part of our lives, physical illness almost certainly ensues. In addition to the stresses we can easily identify, there are also the stress of indoor air pollution, pesticides in our foods, lack of antioxidants in our diets, and insults from things that injure our brains.

The body has the capacity to heal itself given the right conditions with naturopathic medicine. Hippocrates said ‘health is the expression of a harmonious balance between various components of man's nature, the environment and ways of life – nature is the physician of disease’.
