Chemical stress refers to an imbalance of chemicals in the body, which in turn affects the body’s ability to function efficiently.
Like the old saying – “too much of anything can be unhealthy”, that goes doubly true for these chemical culprits. The systems in your body get overloaded with toxins – which get stored in the cells of the nervous system – and here’s where everything gets jammed up.
In normal quantities your body knows how to discharge the toxins and keep a healthy balance. But when too much is present it can’t perform that function. That’s where specific techniques for dealing with chemical stress prove effective.
