Too tense? The best stones to relax

Nervous tension is a sign mainly linked to stress, fatigue and anxiety . It is characterized by intense, pressure-type headaches , mainly localized at the neck and temples . These headaches are linked to a dilation of the blood vessels of the scalp (their caliber increases suddenly). These are referred to as “ nervous tension headaches ”.

Headaches are sometimes accompanied by muscle contractions felt in the neck or back.

Although stress , fatigue and depression remain at the forefront in the appearance of nervous tension, several other factors can be involved such as:

• Lack of sleep, anxiety, fear
• Bad posture of the back or neck
• Lifting heavy objects involving the muscles of the arm and neck
• Intellectual fatigue
