Best Herbal Supplements for Stress

Help for the Stressful Daily Rigors

It has been said many times that the STRESS is the silent killer. Most situations can be handled easily until stress is added. Stress can be either a noun or a verb. As a noun stress is putting extra emphasis on a particular point in a speech. As a verb stress actually ads strain to a particular situation. When a person is feeling stress they would be under duress or they would feel extra pressure to perform a task. Deadlines, time constraints, extra valuable transactions and unforeseen complications can cause stress. Sometimes stress can become so much a part of life that it can cause some pretty severe issues. Some of the issues are physical issues and others are psychological issues. Some of those issues include immune system malfunction, muscle strain, headaches and migraines and even mild bouts of depression.
Some stress is actually healthy but too much can lead one to a downward spiraling staircase that can be overwhelming to try to climb back up. Stress in a situation can actually give some people a super awareness that allows them to react to the situation successfully. In other cases too much stress can shut a person’s faculties down freezing them in place. This makes it impossible to act or react with any proficiency and therefore is the cause to the upcoming catastrophe.
In this life at one time or another everyone wishes to be completely stress free. No bosses pushing one past physical or intellectual limits, no kids adding the burdens that naturally come with them, plenty of quiet time to just sit and think. No problems to think about no schedules to keep no social agendas to consider just being in the moment. What an awesome fantasy, right? Well, yes for a short time. After a while boredom would set in or ambition would be lost. Because we have a drive to always improve our situation it’s possible that one could become completely board with that fantasy. It would be nice to visit once in a while but living it permanently could be harder than dealing with the stresses we currently have in front of us.
The reality is that without some stress our lives would have no purpose, no direction and no joy in the pleasurable things. Without some adversity and stress it would be hard to appreciate the really great things that life has to offer. Without stressful situations to overcome it would be impossible to feel the exhilaration of triumph or personal growth in the face of adversity. There would be no improvement to seek after, nothing greater to aspire to be. That being said it seems that a little stress is needed to keep us focused and satisfied with the good things. It could be said that some stress is not only necessary but healthy.
What is it about stress that could possibly be healthy?
Imagine a tent. Not just a camping tent, a large tent that a formal wedding could be housed in. Basically there are three components to the structure. There are the tent poles, the canvas of the roof of the tent and there are the cables or tension wires that anchor into the ground and tie to the top of the tent poles. The poles can be placed in holes in the ground and stabilized so that they won’t fall over and the canvas can be draped over the poles for a temporary shelter. BUT if a wind comes up the canvas will become a messy piece of material that does nothing more than cover the ground that it rests on. The poles might remain standing but they wouldn’t offer much after all, all they would be at that point is a big stick in the ground.
If the cables represent stress it is the cables that offer the stability and help the canvas roof to hold its shape. It is the stress of the cables that keeps the tent together. A manageable amount of stress in a person’s life will act as the cables do. Stress can be the very thing that keeps us working to keep our lives together. Don’t despise stress use it as a tool to help shape the tent of your life.
What happens when there is just too much stress?
In the case of the tent, if too much stress is applied to one of the cables the tent would lean and eventually break down. If too much stress is applied to all of the cables the canvas would tear. The same things can be said about our lives. If there is one thing that is simply causing too much stress our lives can become unbalanced. Too much energy is devoted to that one stressful issue and eventually the poles would start to lean or even fall because of it. Likewise if there is too much coming from all directions the canvas of our roofs could tear and our tent would eventually break down.
This is when it’s important to recognize how much stress is affecting our lives. One should ask themselves if there are a couple of things that need to be adjusted to balance our tent. Or if there is simply no escaping the pressure and our roof is about to tear. If either of these feel familiar or relative to your life don’t give up. There are things that can be done to help!
The first place to turn when stress is just unbearable is herbal supplements. For literally thousands of years the human race has been in a rat race that creates stress. In the last hundred and fifty years or so the pharmaceutical companies have been making the strong drugs. These drugs are good but they may not be needed. The problem with them is once a regimen has been started it can’t be stopped it can only be adjusted. Herbal supplements on the other hand can be used while they are needed and discarded once control has been reestablished. As mentioned above man has been dealing with stress for thousands of years. During that time there have been informal but real case studies done with different herbs and the effects that they have with ailments like depression and the ability to deal with the rigors of life. St. John’s Wort is one of the most notable herbs dealing with stress. Some others are Blue Vervain, Valerian Root, Passion Flower, Chamomile and even Hops. Each of these herbs has a wonderful background that could facilitate an article full of information and studies to confirm the effectiveness in dealing with stress. There are also studies that tout the efficacy of different vitamins and minerals like Vitamin B and Magnesium. Some companies have chosen to focus on a single herb and strengthen the properties of the herbs that seem to be the most effective. Grandma’s Herbs on the other hand chooses to use the herbs in combination with each other. Our experience has taught us that just like a team of athletes are stronger together working as a team than they are as individuals herbs working together are more effective than they are as single herbs.
Grandma’s Herbs has two products that address stress. One of them, NaturAll Calm is all herbal formula has been working for people since the late eighties.

We have been told that it reduces mood swings and amplifies focus level. With NaturAll Calm highly stressful situations seem to become manageable. The other isB All Calm. This was called a genius formula. It takes all of the herbs that NaturAll Calm has to offer and adds the B Vitamins. B Vitamins supply an inner energy that works from the inside out. It also uses Magnesium, Chromium Picolinate and Zinc. These vitamins and minerals are what doctors prescribe for energy, clarity and mild bouts with depression caused by stress.
