According to the National Health Interview Survey 75% of the general population experiences at least "some stress" every two weeks. If 75% of the general population experience some stress, imagine the amount of stress cancer diagnosis provokes. Learning to deal with stress by various types of mind-body therapies is critical when you are battling cancer. Stress has such a great impact on the entire body, especially the immune system. Trying to control stress while living in a hustle and bustle world, can be somewhat challenging. There are many therapies that can help elevate some of the stress in our bodies which can in return promote natural healing.
Yoga has become increasly popular in today’s society. It originated in India over 5,000 years ago and is being taught throughout the world. Yoga is a mind, body and spirit discipline that helps the body and mind to relax allowing oxygen to penetrate through your body to speed up the healing process. It stretches your muscles and joints with a full range of motion, while uniting the body into a balanced state. Yoga and meditation go hand in hand. Meditation is another form of therapy that can not only help relieve stress, but help with brain & body function. It teaches you to find inner peace along with being in the present moment. Yoga, meditation along with many other natural mind-body therapies have been known to help with pain, anxiety, cell function, detoxification, immune function and complete body healing.
