2 Effective Ways to Relieve Stress Symptoms

I will tell you two surefire ways to relieve stress symptoms. As humans, we all have the desire to live long and healthy lives. To do that, I'm going to tell you about this place that you need to touch. Touch it every day and live a long and healthy life.

Stress

Regardless of guilt, whether rich or poor, there is one common problem that everyone experiences. It's not an exaggeration to say that this is part of our lives. That is stress.
 
You might think of stress as something minor, but excessive stress is a very dangerous entity that causes various diseases and shortens your lifespan. Therefore, you must relieve stress. Of course, there are various ways to relieve stress, but today, in particular, I will let you know about a place that is very helpful in relieving stress if you just touch a part of it every day.

The Body's Response to Stress

Generally, when we experience extreme and severe stress, our bodies exhibit abnormal reactions. As you may have experienced, in most cases, our heart rate and blood pressure increase, breathing quickens, the heart palpitates, and the face turns red. In severe cases, hands and feet may tremble.
 
In reality, when you are under severe stress, the adrenal glands, the hormone-secreting organs located on top of the kidneys, secrete a hormone called 'cortisol'. The problem is that when this hormone is released, it reportedly does two major things in our bodies, attacking the body.
 
First, it rapidly increases blood sugar levels, and second, it rapidly increases blood pressure. Of course, for those with diabetes, this is a truly dangerous event regarding blood pressure and blood sugar, and even healthy individuals can be at significant risk from rapid increases in blood pressure and blood sugar.
 
Of course, moderate stress can actually energize our bodies, but the problem is that sudden stress increases blood sugar and blood pressure, attacking our blood vessels and causing fatal damage to the brain. Therefore, especially for those with diabetes or prediabetes, including healthy individuals, it is said that they need to pay more attention to stress relief.
 
When you experience stress, you probably feel a sense of chest tightness and a feeling of being blocked. It is said that the first place you should massage when experiencing stress is the heart. It's not about directly massaging the heart, but rather applying acupressure to the acupoints where the heart's energy is concentrated, which is said to be very effective in relieving stress.

1. Gyeokcheon Point (극천혈)

The first is the Gyeokcheon Point. First, fold your arm, and then use the fingers of the opposite hand to stimulate the indented area in the middle of your armpit. As you do this, you will feel a cool sensation from your chest to your back, and down to your legs and head.
 
The Gyeokcheon Point is located in the middle of the armpit, so press down vertically to stimulate it. At this time, pressing the muscles in front of the armpit with your thumb is also said to be helpful for heart massage. Alternate between the two sides and press for 10 seconds each. If you press for 1 minute initially each day, it is said that you can achieve stress relief and calm your mind.

2. Nogong Point (노궁혈)

Next, the second point is the Nogong Point, known as the 'home of fatigue'. The location of the Nogong Point is the spot where the tip of your middle finger touches when you slightly clench your hand with your palm open. When experiencing stress, press down vertically on the Nogong Point for 5 seconds, then release and press again for 5 seconds. Repeat this stimulation about 10 times, and it is said to be effective in relieving both mental fatigue and stress.
 
There are also two very simple additional methods. When suddenly experiencing stress, taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly and long is said to be very helpful in relieving stress. Another method is to move your limbs.
 
Moving these muscles helps consume the blood pressure and blood sugar that rapidly rise due to stress, also aiding in stress relief. Therefore, using these methods can help you find peace of mind and achieve significant stress relief.

In Conclusion

Today, we learned about acupressure techniques that help relieve stress. In truth, moderate stress can actually energize our bodies and benefit our physical health. However, excessive stress causes fatal damage to the body and mind, making it crucial to manage it properly.
 
Don't forget the acupressure techniques I shared today. If you maintain a positive mindset and exercise regularly, it is said to be a great help in relieving stress, so I recommend that you consistently practice these acupressure techniques.
