Those who suffer from stress in their job, daily life, and family often feel like they are in the notorious hamster wheel: they run and run but cannot escape the stress and its symptoms—psychosomatic issues, depressive moods, or burnout symptoms. Conventional medical treatments often do not improve the complaints. Here, new methods of deep relaxation from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can help, as shown by doctor and psychotherapist Stefan Steinert: Simple exercises based on the five principles of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water in TCM enable readers to reduce stress and find a more relaxed and successful life.
