What is stress and how does it affect health?

Stress is the body's natural response to challenges, but chronic stress can cause serious health problems. Prolonged tension affects the cardiovascular system, the immune system, digestion and sleep quality.

Signs of stress

The most common stress symptoms are headache, muscle tension, sleep problems, anxiety and reduced concentration. Long-term stress can lead to burnout, depression and chronic fatigue.

Natural relief methods

There are several effective natural methods for relieving stress. Regular movement, especially in nature, lowers cortisol levels and improves mood. Meditation and conscious breathing help you relax. Salt-room therapy and aromatic bath treatments are methods proven in spa care that help body and mind recover. Narva-Jõesuu Medical SPA ANTISTRESS programmes combine these methods with professional guidance, offering a holistic approach to managing stress.

These habits are a good start. For a more thorough health assessment, answer our 60-question questionnaire and we'll recommend personalised Narva-Jõesuu packages for you.
