Addressing the Physiological Causes of Stress
|
|
 |
For many years, stress supplements have been
little more than herbal sedatives. While these products
help us calm down, they do not address the imbalances
that cause us to suffer extreme stress in the first place. Unless these imbalances are resolved, they will lead to any number of degenerative health challenges.
Traditional Chinese Medicine teaches that those for whom stress is a major factor in their quality of life suffer from an imbalance known as Stagnation of Liver Qi (chee). Qi, of course, is one of the three vital energies identified by Chinese Medicine. When it stagnates in the Liver System, excess heat builds up. Eventually, this heat erupts upwards, affecting the gall bladder and inhibiting digestion. Later, it destabilizes Shen, which is another of the vital energies that resides in the Heart System. When Shen is weak, or destabilized, we tend to overreact to stressful events.
Advanced Holistics 4 Way Stress Support System provides herbs to strengthen the Heart and Liver Systems while providing a wealth of Shen. It also provides herbs that clear the stagnation of Qi in the Liver, and that stabilize the Shen of the Heart. Because of this, it helps you make molehills out of mountains, and makes every stressful event pass more easily.
