Description: The term stress implies any condition that harms the body or the mind. The most common disorders associated with stress are heart disease, diabetes, headache, and peptic ulcer.
The body and the mind react to any stress factor. A large number of physical changes take place when a person is under stress. The brain and nervous system become intensely active; the pupils of me eye dilate; digestion slows down; muscles become tense; the heart starts pumping blood harder and faster; blood pressure increases; breathing becomes faster, hormones such as adrenaline are released into the system along with glucose from the liver, and sweating starts. All these changes take place in a split second under the direction of the nervous system.
If the stress factors are removed immediately, no harm accrues and all the changes are reversed. Stress in its earlier and reversible stage leads to poor sleep, bad temper, continual grumbling, domestic conflict, repeated minor sickness, accident proneness, a feeling of frustration, and increase in alcoholic intake.
Stress may be caused by a variety of factors both outside the body and within. External factors include loud noises, blinding lights, extreme heat or cold. X-rays and other forms of radiation, drugs, chemicals, bacterial and various toxic substances, pain, and inadequate nutrition. The factors from within the body include hate, envy, fear, or jealousy.
Directions For Use: pour one cup of boiling water over two teaspoons of the Valerian dried root, cover, and steep for 15 minutes. Strain, and drink up to three cups daily as needed.
Side Effects: Do not exceed the recommended dosage, because large amounts can cause morning grogginess or headaches
