These days Life is incredibly full. No break from the fast-paced days. Most people find that their adrenals are stressed; their emotions, wound up; their head, full of chatter. There are so many choices to de-stress: both allopathic and alternative possibilities. I generally choose Herbs because there are safe without side effects. A wonderful herbal formula for Stress:
Reishi; Oats; Linden; Baikal Skullcap; Holy Basil; Schisandra
I like to use my herbs in the form of tinctures which have been extracted using both water and alcohol. Tinctures are easy to mix; and to change the mixture. They also last a long time.
Reishi, Ganoderma lucidum, has been called in China the Emperor's #1 Herb. It is a mushroom that has therapeutic effects for over 95% of the systems of the human body. Reishi is then a large part of the anti-stress formula. Or it can be taken alone because it covers so much: anti-bacterial, anti-inflammation, anti-oxidant, anti-tumor, anti-viral, works on blood pressure, blood sugar, cardiovascular, cholesterol reducer, immune system, kidney tonic, lungs/respiratory, nerve tonic, sexual potentiator, stress reducer (Go to The Chart of Mushrooms' Therapeutic Effects which is on the web site listed below). Reishi is a must for people who are allergic to bee stings because it is said that Reishi can stop anaphylactic shock. It can even bring down a reaction to any bug bite. Put a small amount of Reishi tincture directly on the bug bite then take a dropper full of tincture or more in your mouth until all swelling goes down.
Avena sativa (organic wild oats milky seed): It is preferable to use organic, or at least wild, herbs for supplements because as a supplement you are ingesting a larger dose of some food than you can possibly eat: so, it should be the best quality to be found without any possible contaminants. Oats are really soothing to the nervous system and to the heart; definitely a superb grain, especially in its whole form. Overnight cooking in a crock pot can facilitate the long cooking time: Also, a stainless steel pressure cooker.
Tilia - europaea (Linden, flowers and leaf): A delicious tincture. Linden makes you feel good and lightens the heart: Thus, calming the brain.
Skullcap, Chinese (Baikal) root (Scutellaria baicalensis), so versatile: anti-inflammatory, good for the heart, breathing, and immune booster. Combined with Holy Basil = anti-anxiety. Baikal Skullcap, though calming, will not lower your natural energy.
Ocimum tenuiflorum (Holy Basil, a.k.a. Tulsi) is not the house hold Basil (Ocimum basilicum). It is delightfully uplifting without being a huge stimulant (yet, sensitive people do not want to take after 3:30 PM because it might keep you from going to sleep.) This means you will never get a big crash from it. It makes you feel good, lighter. In India they plant Holy Basil along the walk ways to the front doors of their houses, so that the lovely smell fills the air as your enter.
Schisandra, ripe berries, (Schisandra chinensis (Wu Wei Zi)) is an adaptogen which means it balances the body by moving the energy up or down according to its need. It works on the liver helping it to do its work.
So here we have a formula of six herbs. These herbs work well in combination with each other. They enhance each other. The combination affects most of the body, with extra specifics for the heart, the nerves, the liver, and the immune system. It is so comprehensive that it de-stresses the body and your emotions. It makes more room for enjoying life.
