Stress

STRESS is ever present in today’s world - not just the obvious pressures of work and family life but the less considered stresses of exercise, for instance. Long term stress results in high levels of cortisol and other hormones which are only designed to work for short periods of time. The effects on the body are many and unfortunate. High blood pressure, weight gain, depression, stomach ulcers, skin problems and premature aging are only a few of the many and serious ramifications of prolonged stress response. Eventually the production of cortisol from the adrenals begins to fail and serious health breakdown and ‘burn out’ can result.

Using herbs and carefully designed supplements may help to reduce the effects of stress, maintain energy levels and encourage relaxation and recovery the natural way.
