Stress, depending on how we metabolize it, can either be eu-stress, a healthy motivating influence, or dis-stress, an inhibiting diseased syndrome. The latter, distress, is the number one cause of disease within the body.
Looking at distress can be stressful, so let’s keep things simple.
From a biological perspective, stress produces chemical reactions internally. These chemical reactions can be very harmful to our health. Generally, most of us remain in a low-grade stress response all day long, and often yesterday’s stress builds the foundation for tomorrow’s. When stress is chronic like this, it sets the stage for disease. The cycle can be maddening, but there is a solution.
If we can help our bodies’ process stress faster, then health, balance and peace are ours for the taking. Traditional management techniques do work, such as exercise and meditation. Yet, an aide exists that is much easier to implement and targets the negative biological effects stress produces. In fact, nature provided it for us. Adaptogenic herbs are nature’s solution for the syndrome we know as stress.
Adaptogens (also called tonic herbs in Chinese Medicine) provide a normalizing influence on the body, which means the effect is neither over stimulating or inhibiting, but is generally tonifying to the body. The core benefit of adaptogens is their ability to help the body cope more effectively with stress, and to help heal the systemic damage caused by stress. Specifically, adaptogens recharge the adrenal glands, which are the body’s primary mechanism for responding to stress and emotional changes.
Nature provides many adaptogenic herbs. Since adaptogenic herbs have a normalizing effect on the body, they can be taken on a daily basis for prolonged periods of time without causing imbalance. Doing so as a preventative measure is by far the best approach!
Now a product exists that offers most of the main adaptogens plus superfoods, powerful greens and hemp protein – its called ShenTrition.
