Herbs for Stressed Out People


It’s no secret.  Many people are stressed out this time of year.  Heck, a lot of people are stressed out ANY time of the year!  In in our modern lives where we have a multitude of things to take care of each and every day including work, family and social obligations.  We also have more media than ever before.  Facebook, Twitter, email and more!  In such busy times it is helpful to have a backup plan other than coffee and energy drinks.  Today I’m going to go over several herbs that I highly recommend to fight stress and help increase mental clarity.  Some of these can be found in combination and are excellent additions to any daily routine!  In no particular order…

 
Rhodiola-  this herb is the energy herb.  Even a small dose can supply the body with some extra energy to get through the day and can improve mental clarity.  It is often paired with…

 
Ginseng- is an adoptogenic herb (ones that help ward off the negative aspects of stress) and is known to impart a feeling of calm energy.  It works great in combination with rhodiola to provide energy and improved concentration.

 
Ginkgo Biloba- this potent plant improves circulation and lifts mood.  The increased circulation helps improve immune function and increases energy.
