HERBAL REMEDIES FOR STRESS RELIEF

Picture
            
                HIGHER NATURE
         RHODIOLA STRESS RELIEF


RHODIOLA STRESS RELIEF, from Higher Nature, is an excellent herbal medicinal remedy for using during times of anxiety and stress. I've also found it helpful for when the mind chatter seems to run on like a hamster on a wheel.  

Rhodiola rosea grows in chilly Arctic areas which is why it is sometimes known as Arctic Root.  Like many traditional herbal remedies, here is another one with an extensive history which can be traced back to ancient Greece. Although this particular product is available as a tablet, the herb is still taken in some parts of the world as a tea.

Tecky stuff taken from manufacturer’s data: one tablet contains 200mg of Rhodiola rosea L. Root and rhizome extract (1.5-5.1), which is equivalent to 300-1000mg of Rhodiola rosea whole route and rhizome. Rhodiola contains many active parts, including rosavin, salidroside and other polyphenols.

Recommended for: natural relief from stress symptoms, exhaustion, mild anxiety, fatigue.

Dosage: take two tablets daily (adults and elderly), one before breakfast and one before lunch, preferably 30 min before food intake.

ARKOPHARMA CALIFORNIAN POPPY is a natural remedy that I have used and recommended for a lot of years. Good if you're finding it difficult to get off to sleep or tend to wake during the night, I've had several patients tell me that it's also helpful for reducing the risk of bad dreams. It’s naturally sedative that can be taken safely during the daytime for its natural calming effects.

 Arkopharma is a French company which sells a wide range of herbal remedies throughout Europe via pharmacies, health food stores and online. 
Sorry, I don't yet have a pack shot of this product but you should find it online without any difficulty.

Amazon reviewer on Kathryn's book Good Gut Bugs:
"This book is a must-have for anyone with digestion problems or bowel conditions.Written in Kathryn's own inimitable, entertaining and quirky style, it is full of facts,anecdotes, information and useful advice on sorting out your gut problems. My partner is already well on the way to recovery after I relayed Kathryn's advice to him (you know men hate reading anything intelligent!)"

 “I am very impressed, it’s very easy to read; most enjoyable, lighthearted and fun!”

“Really like the titles and captions – they bring the subject alive.”

“Much enjoyed. Extremely clear and informative – and I’m a doctor’s son!”

“I really like the chatty, humorous style of writing. Kathryn explains complex things in a very clear way.”


"I think the writing is lovely, fresh, inspirational and most of all very readable for people who perhaps don't know a lot about their insides."

"I think this book should be heading for medical libraries across the UK - and specifically, GP surgeries- come on medics - take advice from books other than the BNF!!  Well done Kathryn!!"

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR ALL VISITORS TO THIS WEBSITE:
This website is entirely not-for-profit and is set up and supported by Kathryn Marsden purely as a resource to provide information on matters related to health and diet. The material Kathryn has included on this website and also in her books, articles and lectures, is for information only and will have been accumulated and referenced from one or more different sources which may include published journals, meetings and discussions with a number of different practitioners, medical and surgical consultants and international experts, and from her own personal research and experience in practice over many years. From the feedback she has received, it would appear to have helped many people.  However, it is important that the reader understands that these guidelines are not intended to be prescriptive, nor are they an attempt to diagnose or treat any specific condition.

If you're concerned in any way about your health, Kathryn ALWAYS strongly recommends that you visit your own doctor or consultant without delay.  If you are suffering from any health problem, she stresses the importance of obtaining as many details about your condition as possible and asking plenty of questions about any medicines that may be prescribed to you.  Always read the pack leaflet which is included with any prescription medicine and don’t stop taking any medication without first talking to your primary health care provider.  The article ‘An Important Note About Prescription Medicines’ may be helpful to you.  Kathryn also suggests that you keep your health care provider informed of any specific diets or supplement programmes you may decide upon.  In the meantime, follow a varied and sensible healthy eating plan which contains plenty of fresh, unprocessed whole foods, pulses, daily fresh fruit and vegetables, and water. Take regular exercise and try to avoid cigarette smoke.  

A final note re illustrations on this website: The majority of photographs and graphics are the property of my husband who has donated them from his own collection especially for the site. However, I have used a few pictures that I already had on file and that were provided to me from other sources as being copyright-free.  If anyone believes a photograph that has been included on this basis actually is copyrighted and/or requires permission, then I apologise unreservedly to the owner of that copyright and would ask that they blog me to let me know so that I can either obtain the necessary permission or remove the picture altogether. Thank you.
