Herbal supplements
We all deal with stress to different degrees, but constant and relentless
stress can have serious psychological on us; depression, anxiety and
high blood pressure are symptomatic of stress. Herbal supplements have
become popular for those who want to deal with stress without the dependency
associated with prescription drugs.
The herbal supplements used for relieving stress include:
• Eleuthero
• Maitake
• Gotu Kola
• Wild Yam
Herbal supplements that relieve stress are called “adapatogenic
herbs” because they help the body adapt tense situations. Since
stress is often caused by an imbalance in the body, these herbs claim
to balance the nervous, immune and hormonal system–but since they
are not regulated by the FDA, they aren’t required to deliver
on those claims.
