Stress management techniques.

Abstract: Hand warming is one of the many different methods used in biofeedback training for stress reduction and relaxation. The basic theory behind hand warming comes from our understanding of the fight-or-flight response. The fight-or-flight response is an automatic change of physiological markers that take place when a person suddenly perceives danger or stress. Blood flow to the extremities is significantly decreased while being increased to the vital organs of the body. This enables you to react quickly to physical danger.
