The Effects of Stress on the Body
When faced with stress, your heart rate, blood pressure, and blood sugar levels rise to help you flee more quickly or fight more fiercely. This is normal (and perfectly healthy) when it occurs only occasionally as a response to real, physical danger. Unfortunately, we react the same way to emotional stress, which most of us face frequently. This means that time after time, our heart rate, blood pressure, and blood sugar rise. As these things occur, other functions like digestion, immune response, mood, brain processes, and libido are undermined.
According to holistic practices, stress becomes more acute as congestion accumulates in the Liver System. In other words, this congestion makes stressful situations even more stressful. The more stressful a situation seems, the more impact it has on your HPA (Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Adrenal) axis. The best supplements, then, must address both these systems.
Adaptogens for Stress Relief
There is little that we can do to eliminate stress in our lives. Yoga, prayer, and meditation can help, but even then, stress still finds its way in. Fortunately, Nature has an answer. Adaptogens are herbs whose phytochemicals are Nature’s way of helping us maintain balance in the face of stress. They support healthy energy levels, sleep patterns, brain processes, libido, and immune response. They are superb adrenal tonics.
Stress Support System™
Stress Support System™ is the only stress supplement we know of that addresses both support of the HPA axis and the acute congestion in the Liver System. Its bupleurum, pearl, polygala, white peony, spirulina, dong quai, skullcap, and atractylodes are potent Liver System tonics that cool and support energy flow, thus helping to avoid congestion. Jujube seed and magnolia bark are calming herbs and help reduce cortisol. Ashwagandha, rhodiola, eleuthero, schisandra, and rehmannia are among the world’s most revered adaptogens and help nourish and maintain the integrity of the Kidney System and adrenal glands.*
