STRESS RELIEF TREATMENT

 Treats organic dysfunctions and any other associated diseases

 Reinvigorates and relaxes the central nervous system
 Improves memory and concentration abilities
 Detentions the muscular system
 Fortifies immunity and increases the body's resistance to diseases
 Relaxes the cardiac activity and improves the blood flow
 Slows down the aging process

The events with an average or positive factor of stress (eustress) forge and vitalize the
body; they engage a person’s all resources into carrying out a task or in surpassing a difficult
situation. They stimulate the person’s capacity to adapt to the effort that it takes to attain a
goal and to achieve an objective; to the effort that a person puts in fulfilling a requirement, a
professional or personal necessity as a result of which that person may feel content,
fulfillment, joy or enthusiasm.

Negative stress (distress) is a person’s

response to the interaction with the professional,
social or familial environment. It occurs when
the respective person does not have the
resources, the education or the necessary
aptitudes to meet the requirements or to fulfill
the expectations of the environment. It is also
triggered by sudden, unexpected and exhausting
events, events that generate a state of tension,
strain, frustration and discomfort. It may also
occur as a result of a long term physical or
emotional overstrain or too feeble a strain.

Long periods of negative stress, high intensity stress factors, stimuli privation or lack
of activity ruin the health of the body, causing major health problems in time, unless measures
are taken to make the body relax, to balance and harmonize the emotional and affective life.

 At emotional level, the periods of intense stress are followed by fits of anxiety,
emotional disorders, tension, discomfort, nervousness, the urge to escape, the necessity to
slow down the rhythm of living; the need of quiet and of a simpler life; feelings of guilt and
discontent carried to the extreme sometimes; inferiority complexes and distortion of self-
image. This clinical picture biases the panic attacks, should the stressor agents maintain their
intensity. A person is threatened by neuroses when going through extreme events as well as
by other pathological manifestations of emotional type. They will impair the person and will
make him quit the social life, ruining the familial and the professional relationships, too.

At cerebral level, the emotional strain will give birth to vasoconstrictions in certain
areas of the brain (the blood vessels irrigating the brain are compressed and narrowed,
tightened). The risk of strokes is consequently increased. Accordingly, metabolic rhythm and
local oxygenation rate are decreased; the metabolic produces will not be eliminated
completely any more, building into deposits in the poorly irrigated areas. Lack of oxygen in
the cerebral area leads to sleep disorders or insomnias, agitation and nervousness, depression,
poorer intellectual efficiency; deterioration of memory and concentration capacity;
forgetfulness and difficulties in perceiving all the events.

In times of stress, hormonal secretions undergo changes; the concentrations of

adrenalin and noradrenalin grow enormously. Adrenalin or epinephrine is a hormone secreted
by the adrenals in situations of stress. It accelerates the cardiac rate and makes artery tension
rise; it activates circulation in the central nervous system; it diminishes the digestive functions
and prepares the body for the massive production of energy. Noradrenalin is involved in
increasing the cardiac rate and in directing the blood flow towards muscles.

The phenomenon will lead to an accelerated ageing of the tissues and of the whole
body. Under these circumstances, the already existing diseases will be aggravated; immunity
of the body is decreased; the resistance of the body to pathogen factors from the environment
and its capacity to eliminate cancer cells are decreased as well.

At the level of the digestive system, there is threat of gastric or duodenal ulcer, of
ulcerative colitis and of irritable bowel. The circulatory system is exposed to arrhythmias,
tachycardia and myocardial infarction. In the female reproductive system, stress causes
disorders of conception, female sterility, and cycle disorders, such as: amenorrhea,
dysmenorrhea. In men, the action of stress upon the endocrine system triggers erectile
disorders, impotence, premature ejaculation or male sterility.

Treatment

Worldwide, physicians and specialists have recognized the efficiency of

acupuncture: it makes the nervous system relax and it fights the effects that negative stress
has upon the nervous system and upon the entire body as a matter of fact. In our centre of
traditional medicine, the specific acupuncture procedures and the phytotherapeutical
formulas employed prevent and treat the harmful effects of stress, assuring best health as
well as an emotional and affective balance that allows the patients to perform their
professional activity and their social duties with increased efficiency.

 The acupuncture procedures employed reduce the adrenalin and noradrenalin
secretions; they increase the secretion of endorphin (a neurotransmitter with strong analgesic
action that relaxes the nervous system and gives the patients a feeling of comfort) and
serotonin. At the same time, it regulates the dopamine secretion. The diameter and caliber of
the narrowed blood vessels in the areas of cerebral vasoconstriction is restored. The normal
blood flow is restored as well, so the processes of cerebral oxygenation are recommenced.

The medicinal herbs have the additional role of eliminating metabolic produces
deposited in the respective areas and of intensifying the processes of cerebral oxygenation, so
that the dysfunctional areas of tissue may be regenerated or replaced by healthy cells. An
increased cell oxygenation is achieved by means of a catalyst that helps the oxygen molecules
penetrate into the cells of the body. The respective catalyst can only be found in the
spontaneous flora. It is only there because of the environment conditions nowadays and of the
high level of pollution. In the past, it used to be present in the entire atmosphere of the planet,
close by the oxygen molecules.

The treatments involve also discussions between physician and patient. They help the
patient reorganize his life style, detach and find solutions for stressful events; accept their
faults and failures and build a new perspective of their own person. The patient is guided to
achieve balance in his life style by adopting certain rules of work, rest and relaxation, hygiene
and diet. Their role is to maintain the health of the body, to allow a better adaptation to the
requirements of the environment, but also to provide the patient with emotional comfort,
teaching him how to dose his energy rationally in the everyday activities.

In order to feel accomplished, each person needs love and satisfaction. The alert
rhythm of life and the speed of the modern society exhaust the human being, who no longer
has time to live or to express his feelings. Too concerned with the safety of the next day and
with the survival in the urban jungle, people forget they are not alone. They also forget that
their feelings of isolation and loneliness are born only from the lack of a good communication
with their fellow men, while they are too concerned with getting material or professional
advantages.

BURNOUT SYNDROME/
OVERWORKING TREATMENT
Used to describe the symptoms of physical
and emotional overstrain, the term of burnout
syndrome refers especially to the
consequences of overworking.
In the traditional medicine, treatment of
burnout syndrome is centered upon relaxation
and tension release of the central nervous
system; reconstruction of the hypo
oxygenated or poorly vascularised cerebral
areas; relieving the osteoarticular and
muscular system of stress; dealing with the
tisular and the organic disorders; balancing
metabolism and immunity; improving
concentration and memory; restoring the
physical and emotional balance.

PANIC ATTACKS
The panic attacks treatment plan consists
in acupuncture sessions, herbmixtures administe
red orally and medical psychological counseling.
Acupuncture breaks the vicious circle and it
restores the activity of all endocrine glands,
starting from the periphery to the centre. During
the sessions, into the body are released the
endorphins (also called the hormones of
happiness owing to their function in the body).
Their release gives a state of happiness in the
body, which will be engraved in the glandular
memory. The action of endorphins relaxes a
person's psychic and gradually it removes the
tension generated by the panic attacks. In this
way the chain reaction is stopped and the person
realizes that what happened in the past will not
necessarily repeat in the present, too.
