Stress can play havoc with more than just your brain
Fans of natural skin care may be interested to know that stress can play havoc with more than just your brain. Dr Pamela Jakubowicz a a dermatologist at Montefiore Medical Centre in New York recently told Forbes magazine: "If you already have a mild case of skin diseases like acne, rosacea, eczema and psoriasis, they can flare up when you're stressed. "Almost every skin disease except for skin cancer gets worse with stress,"
To a lesser degree, she says, wrinkles can also be caused by stress, particularly because of the tendency to frown or furrow our brows when we're worried.
Physical and mental health experts believe that stress lowers immunity. But there are other symptoms like irritable bowl syndrome (IBS), a condition causing gastrointestinal discomfort, bloating, diarrhoea and constipation.
