Wellbeing Stressed? Try This:..............!

Homeopathy
Homeopathy has been found to be as effective as prescribed drugs for stress symptoms, such as anxiety. A survey revealed that 87 per cent of patients with mental and emotional problems reported positive changes. A qualified homeopath will talk through your stress symptoms and then prescribe a treatment that’s individually tailored to your needs.

Sound Therapy
After a few basic questions about your medical history, you lie down and relax as the therapist plays soothing sounds on ancient or modern instruments, often bells or Tibetan bowls. The bowls produce different notes, each resonating with a specific stress symptom, such as insomnia, anxiety, or even a digestive problem, such as IBS.

A Healthy Breakfast
The B vitamins in wholegrain and unrefined foods (brown rice, bread, cereals) reduce stress and mood swings. A survey found that having wholegrain toast for breakfast reduced stress levels by as much as 59 per cent.
