Stress Buster

94% of all adult Australians suffer from some level of stress'. National Health and Wellbeing Survey, Sept 2002. The Oxford Medical Dictionary states “Stress – any factor that threatens the health of the body or has an adverse effect on its functioning, such as injury, disease or worry. Constant stress brings about changes in the balance of hormones in the body” Long term stress affects the adrenal glands and the levels of certain brain chemicals. This can manifest as symptoms such as sleeplessness, depression, anxiety, appetite increase or decrease, hyperactivity or lethargy. After chronic stress there is a deeper need for adrenal support, nervous system support and brain neurotransmitter balance to achieve a less depleted, anxious, exhausted, unbalanced system. Withania helps to counteract stress. St Johns Wort and Valerian are both nervine relaxants and assist with symptoms of sleeplessness and depression. Licorice supports the adrenal glands, with Vitamin C and B5 to support normal adrenal function. Ginger assists the circulatory system and increases the action of combination herbs. The brain neurotransmitter precursors, Tyrosine and Phenylalanine, are essential for normal mood, pain perception and appetite. To counteract stress, professionals recommend that we exercise, relax, adjust our thinking, talk to someone, organise our time and eat well…

Unfortunately, during times of stress the survival systems are in place and these are the last things we think about. To fight the effects of stress, we first have to deal with the hormones, which will allow us to have a better perspective and possibly change the choices we are making.
