Homeopathy For Women Today

Do you go to bed only to toss and turn, count sheep, worry through the night, finally fall asleep in the wee hours of the morning and wake up feeling like a zombie?  If this happens to you quite often, you could be suffering from Insomnia.

Insomnia can happen in different patterns -

• difficulty in falling asleep
• taking inordinate amount of time to fall asleep
• very light sleep
• waking up frequently at night
• waking up in the wee hours of the morning and not able to go back to sleep

The net result is that you feel unrefreshed, fatigued, stressed or become irritable, anxious or depressed. Sleep deprivation over long time can affect your alertness, clarity, performance, overall health and well-being.

There are many things you can do to get a good night’s sleep. Lifestyle changes such as eating dinner early, reducing or not drinking tea, coffee or alcohol before bedtime can help.

Hi

Have you ever noticed that when you are very stressed, you breathe very shallow or sometimes even hold your breath without realising it? 

One of the quickest ways to relieve stress anytime anywhere is to take a few deep breaths. Deep breathing with awareness instantly calms you down, besides supplying your brain and body with oxygen thus enabling you to think better and perform better in the stressful situation. 

Here is a video that shows how you can use yoga-based deep breathing techniques for quick and easy stress relief. Enjoy……..

Make it a point to breathe deeply today, and every day.

In the last 2 posts, I wrote about a simple scale you can use to measure your stress level and to assess your risk for illness due to stress.

In this post, I am writing about how stress affects your health -

If you are living with high levels of stress, you are putting your entire health at risk. Stress wreaks havoc on your emotional stability, as well as impact on your physical and mental health. Stress weakens your immune system, and you fall sick more often.

Digestive System – Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Cramps, Diarrhea, Gastric disturbances, Acidity, Difficulty in digestion, Ulcer, Colitis

Glandular / Hormonal System - Thyroid malfunction, Aggravation of Diabetes, Aggravation of Menstrual disturbances

Immune System - Increased tendency to infections, catch cold, cough and flu often
