Stress

It is well known that anxiety and stress can cause some illnesses, and can greatly increase others. The difficulty lies in finding out the best way to deal with this problem.

There are, of course, some simple muscle relaxation methods which can sometimes be useful, but we're impressed with a new anti-stress approach using "psychological acupressure" that is getting excellent ratings from health practitioners.

It's called Emotional Freedom Technique ("EFT" for short) and it can be used on the spot to radically reduce or eliminate anxiety and physical tension. EFT requires only light tapping with your hands of certain spots on the face and hands, and the repetition of certain targeted phrases while you do this.

It is remarkably helpful in keeping you emotionally balanced and at ease even under severe pressures — a big plus for any of us.
