SEPTEMBER 11, 2018 – STRESS BURNOUT

We have all been in a stressful burn out situation. Whether this burnout is due to physical sickness, mental sickness, or psychological sickness, we all can relate. What do you do if this occurs? 

Some might eat more, or some might eat less. Some might exercise and others might meditate.

How many take an herb or supplement to decrease stress or anxiety? The class of herbs for stress or anxiety are called nervines. There are many herbs within this class. Examples could be skullcap, California poppy, vervain, and even chamomile. There are even adaptogenic herbs as rhodiola that has been used and studied. A study was done in Vienna for 12 weeks. There was a experimental rhodiola called Vitango (200mg tablets, taken twice a day for 12 weeks). There is promising results on effects of anxiety and stress but more needs to be studied.

Until tomorrow...
