Herbal Remedies To Lower Your Stress Levels

May 14, 2009


I guess we must all come to terms with the fact that we live extremely stressful lives. Whether we are worried about our work, family, homes or finances we are constantly looking at some part of our lives that cause us a stir of emotions.

While we try our best to the stress reduction in our life physically getting additional help from an external source seems like a blessing. The best thing you can do to reduce the amount of stress is to take a long walk in a pleasant setting and listen to your favorite music.

The music will help to lower your blood pressure while the walk will soothe your nerves and help you to think of other things rather than those that stress you out.

On a more positive note you can benefit from the several herbs that we have in our homes that we use n our daily food preparation. Using the right herbs in the right preparation will help you to reduce your stress levels drastically.

One must remember that chronic stress has an impact on your sex drive, cholesterol levels and can even cause severe damage to your brain.

Some of the herbs that will help are ginseng. Add it to your evening sup to restore your nervous system. It helps to lower your heart beat and cholesterol levels within a few days.

Catnip is another herb when brewed along with your daily cup of tea helps to relax and soothe your nerves.

Chamomile has a calming effect and can either be added to your tea or soup. You can also use chamomile in a diffuser and benefit from the aroma.

Add a few lemon grass leaves to your soup or just boil it for about half an hour and then add a spoon of honey and drink the mixture. You will feel relaxed within a few minutes of drinking the mixture. Just the aroma that it lets out while it is being brewed helps you by miles.
