Treating Burns
Burns commonly happen at home. Touch a hot stove, spill hot water, even natural foods like certain peppers can contain a substance that is irritating to the skin and cause a burning sensation.
When Stress Sticks Around
Chronic stress is when our bodies do not return to their more relaxed state. Our hearts keep racing, our muscles stay tense, and we breathe quickly, not deeply. A number of essential body functions stay suppressed, like our digestive systems, reproductive organs, and our immunity to infections. Headaches, sleeplessness, depressed mood, anger, and irritability can all be caused by stress, and they can lead to more serious diseases like obesity, depression, heart disease, and high blood pressure.
