Are you stressed out? Stress, that is a state that everyone is familiar with. The word „stress“ very often is also used as a synonym for „very busy“ or „I don‘t have any time just right now“. In most cases, this state is only of short duration. If the body receives enough time to recuperate thereafter, then this remains without conse- quences. But if this state continues on and is even emphasised by additional stress factors, then the brief state of alarm our body experiences can turn into a permanent state of alarm.

Chronic stress can not be tied to one cause or one complaint. It is - almost always - an individual mix of various factors.
