Stress

Of course we cannot avoid stress and indeed a degree of stress has been shown to be helpful to drive us forward. Where stress becomes harmful is when it is continuous, in which case it tends to overwhelm the body's capacity to maintain equilibrium and ill health ensues. Chinese medicine describes that feeling of being under stress as an inner tension which disrupts the smooth flow of energy (qi) around the body and treatment is geared towards restoring smooth flow of energy to encourage the body and mind to relax.
