Stress and anxiety, we all have it to some degree. It’s a normal and natural part of life, but sometimes, we just need to relax. When we let stress build up long-term it weakens our immune system, by decreasing the white blood cells needed to fight off infections. While taking care of yourself with a balanced lifestyle is key to handling stress better, having some relaxing herbal blends on hand can be very helpful too. So stop sweating the small stuff and start managing your stress! Here’s a few of our staff favorites to help you keep your cool.
Anxio Calm
AnxioCalm by Terry Naturally has been clinically studied to quiet your nerves and relieve your occasional anxiety—without drowsiness! This is one of our favorites for dealing with anxiety and helping you have a more rested night.
Ashwagandha
Ashwagandha is an Ayurvedic herb that addresses long-term stress and can help you feel rested, energized and ready to take on the day. As an adaptogen, Ashwagandha works to support the adrenal glands and counteract the effects of stress in the body while correcting the imbalances.
Sunny Mood
This “feel good formula” can help lift your spirits when you’re feeling down. Sunny Mood is designed for overall mental support, and is ideally suited for individuals with temporary depressed mood, occasional anxiety, emotional reactivity, temporary stress-related exhaustion and mental fatigue.
Happy Camper
The Happy Camper formula contains a unique blend of herbs intended to provide nutritive support to help you feel good about yourself. This sophisticated blend includes Kava Kava, Gotu Kola, Passion Flower Schisandra and other ingredients used for centuries to support mood.
This blend supports and soothes tense emotions. Ease your stress and breathe deeply with this calming essential oil blend of lavender, bergamot, clary sage, marjoram and rose geranium. Apply a few drops to your palms, rub them together and then, cupping your hands near your nose, close your eyes and breathe in and out deeply. Rub any extra oil from your hands onto your neck and shoulders to further support your body.
Of course, this is only a small sample of the many different relaxing blends we have in our Wellness department. Our Wellness staff will be more than happy to help you find what herbal formula will work best for you. So let go of your irritability and put a smile on your face!
