Shock is a life-threatening emergency in which insufficient oxygenated blood reaches vital body organs and tissues because of extremely low blood pressure.
When the blood pressure falls, the body compensates by re-routing blood away from the skin and muscles to the more vital organs, such as the heart, lungs and brain. That is why the skin becomes pale, cool and clammy and the person feels weak.
Because the heart and lungs struggle to function, the pulse becomes very rapid, although weak, and the rate of breathing increases but the person feels short of breath and perhaps also extremely anxious and restless. A delay in treatment can lead to permanent damage to vital organs and may result in death.
A shock victim should lie down and kept warm with a blanket or coat. Treat the injury or wait for trained medical personnel.
You can however make a massage oil, and massage the entire body at night time before retiring to assist with shock. To make the oil, mix the following:
mix with 20 ml vegetable carrier oil
