Stress is the root cause of all illness. Many people think of stress only in terms of deadlines and family/relationship stress, financial pressures and death of loved ones. However, stress reactions occur on the unconscious, cellular, subtle or energetic levels each time we are exposed to toxins, pathogens, deficiencies, allergies, and trauma.
Common physiological changes resulting from stress include:
Increased heart rate, hormonal fluctuations which can lead to endocrine, reproductive, digestive disorders, obesity, diabetes and mental disorders. Constriction of muscles and blood vessels can lead to pain, tension, circulatory issues, cardio-pulmonary issues and asthma.
