As serotonin levels are increased and melatonin in secretion rhythms regulated, sleep patterns will regulate.
9. Can assist with the healing of skin conditions such as eczema.
Stress is often a trigger for eczema and other skin conditions. As stress is reduced an eczema flare can often be relieved.
