To manage stress, you need to look at your whole life. Believe it or not, I have an AWESOME solution for you that I have used myself and really love…

 

BUT FIRST… the herbal remedy for stress…

There are many herbs that are not only extremely nutritious, but they also have affinities for certain organ systems.

With stress, we are mostly dealing with the nervous system. You may have heard of valerian. This is a sedation herb. A powerful and useful herb if you are stressed out and can’t sleep for example, but it isn’t an herb you would want to use EVERY DAY.

If you are needing to use something as strong as valerian every day, then you REALLY need to do something about your stress. We’ll get to that in a minute…

The HERB OF CHOICE for nervous system nourishment is oatstraw.

 


Not only is oatstraw (Avena sativa) incredibly nourishing, it has an affinity for the nervous system.

It is a GREAT herbal remedy for stress.

Drinking an oatstraw infusion daily with not only nourish and tonify your nervous system, it is also builds healthy teeth and bones because it is high in calcium. So, this is also a great routine if you have osteoporosis or you are at risk for it.

An herbal infusion is a drink full of minerals. Minerals in whole, complex forms, easily absorbed and used by our bodies. It is different from a tea and is the foundation for daily herbal nourishment.
