The Effects of Stress





Business woman showing the effects of stress.When you are under stress, the effects of stress seem immediate in your body.  Your neck gets tense, you get a headache, and you can't sleep.

But this is just the surface. Inside your body, the hormones released under chronic stress begin a cycle of destruction on your tissues which leads to illness and disease.  Heart disease, digestion difficulties, high blood pressure and lowered immunity are just some of the conditions which are associated with chronic stress.

I first understood the effects of chronic stress when I realized that I was yelling at my children unfairly.  I was extremely harsh and unyielding; I gave crazy punishment for very small upsets.

I had started a health program using essential oils and other supplements to improve my eyesight but when my body began to heal, the yelling stopped.  It was only then that I realized that stress had been a monster puppeteer which directed me to do and say things which I didn't mean.

I also discovered how effective essential oil were in healing my body and balancing my moods from the effects of stress.


Stress taxes marriages, family relations, employment and all social interaction.  And one researcher who has found that stress in a pregnant mothers can increase the likelihood of asthma in her unborn baby, calls stress a "poison".
