Relaxation – today more important than ever
Every day you are exposed to a wide variety of stresses, strains and annoyances. Your body reacts to this with tension or stress. Excessive stress causes headaches, insomnia, stomach pain, tension, irritability and restlessness.
What does stress mean?
In stressful situations, the body produces more adrenaline  and cortisol. These hormones help the organism to deal with the demands. However, if this condition persists, health problems can arise. Constant stress is one of the biggest risk factors for high blood pressure  and heart attack . The body becomes more susceptible to infections because the immune system is reduced.
Causes are external factors such as noise, sensory overload and overexertion or internal factors such as anger, pressure to perform and physical exertion. You can only partially avoid the stress of everyday life. Therefore, sufficient rest and relaxation must be ensured.
What helps to relax?

- Help from your pharmacy offer drops or dragees on a plant basis.
- A relaxation bath with soothing bath additives is a fast-acting measure to relax body and soul.
Relaxation methods such as autogenic training or yoga help you deal with stress more calmly and calmly.
