Take Care with Tea
Stress is real and very prevalent every day, especially these days. The scary slope is that chronic stress can lead to a variety of issues — insomnia, weakened immune systems, headaches, digestive problems and perhaps even scarier ones like heart problems and debilitating panic attacks. Everyone internalizes or externalizes stress differently, that’s why different approaches are abundant and needed. There isn’t a one-size-fits-all remedy. I’d like to share with you one of my personal favorites: herbs and teas. These have been my go-to companion for when I’m combating stress and anxiety.
As you may know fruits, flowers, herbs and more have been used for centuries to treat very aliments that plague many of us today. Beyond the usual shift of lifestyle habits, introduction of calming techniques, diet and exercise, teas seem to be an easy to manage and simple first step to reducing the monkeys on our back.
Disclaimer: High levels of constant stress may require professional intervention. Also before deciding to treat yourself with herbal teas, we strongly suggest consulting your doctor. Some herbs may interact with certain medicine and cause serious side-effects.
