UAE residents are reaching boiling point: Maktoob business.com survey

Press Release
 
 

07 August 2008
As working hours and the time spent commuting on congested roads in the summer heat increase, UAE residents are reaching boiling point. Findings from a recent survey published by Maktoob business.com showed that people living and working in the UAE blame their work environment and the constant traffic for being the major sources of stress. The Swiss Academy of Scientific Acupuncture (SASA) at Dubai Healthcare City recommends dealing with stress before it escalates into a major health issue.

Job stress, caused by conditions in the workplace that have a negative affect on individual's performance and overall well-being of the body and mind, is not uncommon and during a person's career and it is inevitable one will experience some degree of stress.

The survey reported that 33 percent of the respondents attribute stress to emotional disorders such as anxiety, nervousness and irritability, while 13 percent said that it causes heart diseases, high blood pressure and headaches. The remaining participants complained that they suffer digestive problems when stressed.

To prevent stress from having a detrimental effect such as these on an individual's health, symptoms need to be identified and any necessary treatments and precautionary measures taken sooner rather than later. While reducing stress by eliminating its root causes may seem the ideal answer, in a reality where most lifestyles include some form of stressors that cannot be completely removed, the most sensible option is to identify and manage stress and its symptoms before they become a problem.

With a staggering 90 per cent of all visits to primary health care providers reportedly due to stress-related illnesses it is hardly surprising that many people are turning to holistic therapies to reduce the effects of stress. SASA's specialist Dr Sandi Suwanda says: "Acupuncture therapy releases endorphins, the brain's natural painkillers and serotonine, commonly known as 'feel good hormones'. Through acupuncture we clear the blocked energy in the muscles and nerve channels, and enable the flow of fresh energy. This ensures relaxation of muscle and mind, and relief from stress and tensions."

SASA's renowned and trained acupuncturist practioners believe that energy circulates through the body and that stress can result when this energy is blocked from moving along specific pathways and remains stagnant. When chi/Qi (life energy) inside the body becomes stagnant and congested, all kinds of mental and physical illness follow. According to the principles of acupuncture, a state of well-being can be restored by removing energy blocks and naturally rearranging the level of your body's chemicals to achieve balance.

Acupuncture, the most widely applied Chinese therapy, is best known for control of pain and can be utilised to treat a wide variety of common and uncommon disorders. According to the science of acupuncture there are 361 acupoints on the meridians of the body that can be used during treatment. The modern research of acupuncture can release the Endorphine and Serotonine, which important to treat the burn out per stress and pain.

For those who are afraid of needles, Dr Sandi recommends acupuncture using the Laserneedling system developed by the Swiss company Laserneedle. In contrast to conventional acupuncture, the painless laser light protects the burn out syndromes, penetrates the tissue with high-energy light particles, and is able to stimulate areas of tissue in the surface and depth of the body.
