Anxiety Relief: How Sujok Therapy Can Help Calm The Mind

Anxiety can cause the mind to feel constantly alert, worried, or restless. Although occasional anxiety is normal, ongoing anxiety can impact sleep, focus, digestion, energy levels, and daily tasks. To manage anxiety, try simple self-care strategies alongside Sujok techniques.

Some common signs of anxiety include constant worrying, restlessness, irritability, difficulty concentrating, sleep disruptions, rapid heartbeat, excessive sweating, trembling, fatigue, headaches, muscle tension, and stomach discomfort. Anxiety may stem from prolonged stress, work or family pressures, poor sleep, too much screen time, significant life changes, certain medical conditions, excessive caffeine, or an irregular lifestyle.

For natural relief, establish a consistent sleep-wake schedule, practice slow deep breathing for 5-10 minutes daily, take short walks or gentle yoga, cut back on caffeine, limit phone and social media use, spend time in nature or engage in calming activities like meditation, and focus on one task at a time. Avoid unnecessary stress.

Sujok therapy, a complementary approach, can also aid anxiety relief by targeting specific points related to the brain and lungs. Apply moxa and colored markers to specific points on the body and place seeds on these areas. Keeping these seeds in place for several hours or overnight may help promote relaxation. Remember, Sujok techniques should not replace professional medical care.

If anxiety persists, is severe, or affects daily life, consult a qualified healthcare professional. Rajshree Vora is an obesity consultant, dietitian, nutritionist, Sujok therapist, counselor, and yoga therapist. Contact her at enquiry@rajshreeyoga.com for more information.
