There is no doubt that we live in an era full of pressure. According to the American Psychological Association, as many as two-thirds of Americans are stressed about the future of our country. During the period from August 2016 to January 2017, the overall pressure level reported by the United States rose from 4.8 to 5.1, with the proportion rising from 1 to 10. Therefore, some unorthodox decompression methods are more and more popular. Using Google Trends, these 11 are the strangest we've found.

Floating, also known as submerging oneself in a pool of sensory deprivation, quickly became a less traditional stress relief boom. Basically, the floating pool is a huge, covered bathtub filled with water and 1000 pounds of Epson salt. So when you lie in, your body has no choice but to float. Many pipes soothe the music into the tank and provide stylish lighting options to further ease your tired nerves. According to the New York Times, "floating" was invented by behavioral scientist John C. Lily in the 1950s and may have taken so long to become popular - perhaps because it's a glorious bathtub - but the devotees vowed to it. Now listen to the Simpsons: the author of the Simpsons ran a marathon and was still joking about it. Getty Images. As we have recently reported, mucus production has turned from a pre-K sensory development activity to a stress relief craze in adolescents / adults. YouTube's instructional videos have won millions of hits, including certain types of slime, such as flash, flash, "unicorn" slime. This is because playing with mucus is a sensory experience that triggers an autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR), or what the Atlantic describes as a "brain orgasm" or "brain rush" of tingling in the brain. There is only one published research paper on this phenomenon, but the authors of this study are in-depth study of their research to investigate the impact of ASMR on learning and learning. Adult color books if you walk into a large book retailer, you will notice that a large number of adult color books describe various decompression concepts, from obvious ("stress free color") to disrespectful ("calm down"). Science actually supports mindfulness based art therapy as an effective way to reduce stress in cancer patients. More surprisingly, some designs actually reduce anxiety more than others. A 2005 study published in the Journal of the American Association of art therapists concluded that coloring mandalas for 20 minutes was more effective than free form coloring in reducing anxiety for 20 minutes.

Of all these stress reducing trends, the strangest may be "otonamaki," or "swaddling." It's an adult lying on his back (like a baby), crouching on his knees, wrapped in a white cloth (like a baby), shaking (a bit like a baby, except that your head is also wrapped). A Japanese midwife invented the technology to help new mothers relieve stress and post natal pain. When you cry, the people accompanying you are so nervous and stressed that many employees work more than 100 hours a week, so that people die of overwork, or "overwork death" in Japan. Although Japan is under great pressure, emotional escort has become one thing to achieve a certain balance between work and life. Launched by ikemeso Danshi, a company, women hire hot men (also known as ikemesos) to meet them in the office, not for a little afternoon's pleasure, but to watch heartbreaking videos and photo slides to trigger a cry. The end of the convoy? Wipe the tears off the customer. Sometimes that's what girls really need.

7. Mushrooms without "magic" prefix? Used for many years in Vedic Medicine in China and India, adaptogen is the oldest plant-based natural substance, which is said to cure and relieve stress. Among them: ginseng, astragalus, liquorice root, medicinal mushroom and Ashwaganda. Because of its well-known decompression characteristics, the adaptor has become a trend in recent years. In 2010, a study published in the Journal of Pharmaceutical (Basel) concluded that adapters "reduce the harmful effects of stress induction" by "activating the self-defense mechanism of stress induction", and its effect is similar to that of "stress vaccine". So the next time you take a mushroom ride in a farmer's market, you may want to slow down. Your roster.
8. A 2011 article in psychology today cited a large number of studies calling magnesium supplements the new "cold medicine," but until recently, magnesium seemed to be a stress relief craze. According to the National Institutes of health, magnesium is a key mineral that helps us perform a variety of physiological processes, such as blood pressure regulation, nerve and muscle function, and blood glucose control. Stress causes your body to release cortisol. Magnesium works in the brain, slowing the release of cortisol, and then - Bang - you get colder. The strangest thing about this boom is that it's found in many foods and supplements, but many people are unconsciously suffering from magnesium deficiency. Sound bath seems strange. As a way to relax and relax, sound bath is becoming popular in urban areas. In theory, similar to the meditation of incantations in Hindi, the sound bath was created with Himalayan singing bowls, chants, tuning forks, drums, and other instruments, using sound asFor the catalyst of meditation. In a New York Times special report on the phenomenon, a professor of psychiatry at UCLA said that this can help people enter a "state of deep relaxation", which helps "reduce the sympathetic nerve, increase the tension and response of the parasympathetic autonomic nervous system, and thus reduce the stress response". Sounds like a place to bathe!
10. Crystallotherapy is as old as daytime - but it's still strange. Inspired by the traditional concept of energy in traditional Chinese medicine, crystals (i.e. shiny rocks) are endowed with various therapeutic properties and placed on the corresponding body chakras, the concept of which is that crystals will promote positive energy in these places. No science can support its effectiveness.
11. Hagrid's nesting is not just something pregnant women do before their children are born. It's also an absurd trend of stress reduction, because it only means staying at home. Getting a place on the 2017 "health + good health trends" list, nesting tells us that more and more millennials are choosing to stay at home and enjoy their fogo (fear of going out) rather than socializing in a stressful world. Its cousin, hygge, is also a core decompressor, because it takes a lot of time to stay at home and hug by the fire.
What do you think? Have you tried these decompression trends? Since you know about them, are you going to try any of them? What's your favorite way to reduce stress?
