Stress is one of the major health problems of the 1990s but, too often, experts advise a change of life-style or long-term and expensive therapy. In this book, sections on understanding stress and relaxation are followed by techniques for instant stress relief, illustrated by step-by-step photographs. Stress cure A outlines instant relaxation techniques for every part of the body from more obvious neck, back and shoulders to hands, fingers and feet, together with a mind-clearing technique for total relaxation. Stress cure B applies instant remedies to common stressful situations - from job interviews to meeting new people or handling bureaucracy. Stress cure C offers quick-care remedies for common medical and psychological problems caused by stress - from allergies and asthma to panic attacks and stuttering.
