Emotional Strength and Stress


When you get stressed or get panicked about anything, the body’s abilities to cope reduces. It causes your body to produce greater levels of stress hormones called ‘Cortisol’ to boost immunity and reduce inflammation. Greater levels of cortisol in the blood opens the door for more inflammation. During stress, the body’s lymphocytes (type of WBC) which help to fight the infection gets reduced. The lower the lymphocyte level, the more risk you are for the viruses. High stress levels can also cause depression and anxiety, again leading to higher levels of inflammation. In the long-term, sustained, high levels of inflammation point to an overworked, over-tired immune system can’t properly protect the body.

Yoga and meditation are good means of calming the mind and boosting the immunity. Medication reduces the TPS (Thought Per Second) which in turn reduces the stress by conserving the energy towards the brain cells and also helps reducing the release of stress hormones cortisol. Yoga and breathing balances hormonal secretion in the body, mucus imbalance and helps in increasing the oxygen supply to all cells. This helps in faster healing and regeneration of the cells. 

Yoga and Nutrition enhances immunity while helping to create and maintain healthy mucous membrane tissue, essential for fending off germs.

  1. Yoga therapy for boosting immunity.
  2. Vajrasana, Basthrika pranayama, Bramari pranayama, quick and deep relaxation technique. 
  3. Jala netic (Saline nasal irrigation): Cleanses the sino-nasal cavity. Lukewarm saline/saltwater reduces hypersensitivity and respiratory symptoms. The hypertonic solution reduces mucosal edema (swelling) due to osmotic pressure in the nasal cavity. Induced water transport through the musical epithelial membrane, thereby reducing and improving mucociliary clearance.
  4. Aroma therapy: Eucalyptus/Peppermint/ Thyme oil for body massage. 10 drops in 20 ml of Gingely oil. For sniffing use 1-2 drops of eucalyptus oil can act as an anti-infective in the nasal passage. 
  5. Helio therapy: Exposure to Sun for at least 15 minutes in the morning and evening may confer protection against other illness like asthma and infectious disease. Increased Vitamin D induces cathelicidin-a polypeptide that effectively combats both bacterial and viral diseases.

Having the right frame of mind and emotional strength helps you to take care of not just your self but your family in these testing times.
