crowds, noise, pain, traffic, temperature extremes,
overwork, lack of sleep, smoking, alcohol, a worrywart
attitude.
TREATMENT
-
Think positive in every situation. See a good side
to it, and learn to make the best of it. See it as
an interesting challenge to solve difficulties. Trust
in God to help you weather every crisis and carry
on through to the end.
-
Think
about something else for a time. That will help your
brain to rest and your emotions to calm down. Gradually
answers will come to mind.
-
Stretching
your muscles can help move a circulation made sluggish
by the situation, so you can think better. Massage
muscles which have tensed up. Drop your jaw and move
it left to right. This helps relax the jaw muscle.
-
Take
a hot bath; that really relaxes you, so you can start
thinking constructively again.
-
Go
outside and walk in the open air. Hold your head up,
breath deeply, and relax.
-
A
change in diet is needed to help restore a sickly
immune system. Fresh fruit and vegetables, especially
raw vegetables. Kelp or dulse, and raw seeds or nuts.
Be sure and take enough vitamin C, as well as a full
range of supplementary vitamins and minerals.
