Do acupressure slippers work?

Health benefits of wearing acupressure slippers
Acupressure is an ancient Chinese therapy that works by restoring life force that is believed to be present in all of us. It’s a Chinese belief that the positive energy flow of this life force is responsible for our well-being.

Acupressure slippers- Most of us do not realise that the entire stress and weight of our body is carried by our feet and feet are the most ignored part of our body. We should take care of our feet and keep them strong with daily foot massages for a few minutes. This is where acupressure footwear comes into play. Because massaging your feet every day may not be feasible, you can give acupressure slippers a try.

Here are six health benefits of wearing acupressure slippers:
1. Promotes sleep-- Walking in acupressure massage slippers can relieve foot pain and can induce better sleep. These slippers target the nerve endings, as a result, you have better blood circulation and relaxed nerves. 

2. ​Fights depression-- Many nerve endings linked with various organs are situated right below the feet. Acupressure sandals massage the feet and act as a pain reliever. The area in the center of the toe and the ball of the feet are linked to mental and emotional health. Targeting these areas by wearing acupressure sandals can relieve symptoms of depression. 

3. ​Relieves pains and aches--Walking wearing the acupressure slippers can help in reducing body pain. The pain arising from ankle, neck, migraine headache, lower back and thighs can be fully relieved by walking in these slippers for 30 minutes every day.

4. Eases menopause and PMS symptoms-- Many women suffer from extreme mood swings and aches due to premenstrual syndrome. Symptoms of menopause such as depression, backache and foot ache can be reduced by using acupressure slippers. The area where the big toe meets the rest of the feet is an essential point to relieve stress caused by such symptoms. 

5. ​Restless leg syndrome-- Restless leg syndrome is where you have this constant urge to move your leg while experiencing pulling or burning sensation. It is more of a neurological disorder. Walking on massage slippers targets the specific nerve endings that relieve the pain and increases blood circulation, which enables perfectly healthy feet. 

6. Multiple sclerosis-- Stimulating the feet is said to relieve and treat various health issues. Acupressure sandals can address symptoms of fatigue in patients diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

7 Natural Remedies to Ease Anxiety

What are the various causes of anxiety- money? health? family? love? So, what can be done if you suffer from anxiety? While there are a number of coping mechanisms for handling this issue, here are 7 non-drug remedies that will surely help keep your anxiety levels under control: 
Anxiety is often characterised by fast beating heart, shallow and rapid breathing, and thoughts of impending doom.
Here are 7 safe non-drug remedy to cure your anxiety-
1) Lemon balm- it has long been used to reduce stress and anxiety, as well as to promote better sleep. A study conducted on healthy volunteers found that those who took standardized lemon balm extracts ( 600mg), reported feeling more calm and alert in comparison to those who took a placebo.

While taking lemon balm is generally safe, stick to the recommended dosage. Taking too much has been found to trigger anxiety, according to some studies.

2) Hold your breath- Taking deep breaths has been shown to be effective in lowering stress and anxiety. One of the main reason behind this theory is that it is impossible to breathe deeply and stay anxious at the same time.
Practice the 4-7-8 breath. Exhale completely through your mouth, inhale through your nose for a count of 4, hold your breath for a count of 7, and exhale through your mouth for a count of 8. Repeat twice a day.

3. Valerian- It not only helps reduce anxiety, it's an excellent sleep aid too and is often used to treat insomnia. it's best taken in a capsule format or tincture rather than as tea, due to its strong smell.

4. Eat a diet rich in Omega 3 fatty acids- Fish oils are not only good for the heart. One study found that students who took 2.5mg a day of mixed omega 3 fatty acids for 12 weeks had less anxiety before exam than students who took a placebo.
It is recommended that you take omega 3 from food where possible. Opt for only cold water fish- like salmon, a great source of fatty acids. 1 grilled wild salmon contains about 3.75 gms of omega 3.

5. Exercise- It is a great aid for treating anxiety.  Exercising on a regular basis has been found to boost your self-esteem and make you feel healthier.
A major cause of anxiety tends to be illness and health- both of which will likely dissipate when you are fit.

6. Hops-  It contains a sedative compound, when extracted, it's often used as a sedative to promote sleep and is often combined with another herb valerian.

7. Eat breakfast-Studies show that most people who suffer from an anxiety disorder tend to skip breakfast.
Opt for eggs-A satiating and  filling protein and nature's top source of choline. Low levels of choline are associated with increased anxiety.
