Herbs For Stress

Stress can be described as the response to taxing physical, emotional, or environmental demands.

The body is equipped to deal with brief episodes, but high stress on a regular basis can eventually take a heavy toll on physical and mental health.

Over time, chronically high levels of stress hormones deplete both nutrient and energy reserves, creating an overall state of exhaustion.

What's more, blood pressure and cholesterol levels increase, the stomach secretes too much acid, sex hormones diminish, and the brain becomes starved for its main energy source, glucose, which can impair mental ability over the long term.

Chronic stress can also take a heavy toll on the immune system, decreasing one's resistance to colds, flus, and other types of illness.
