Have you ever had that awful, jittery feeling that leaves you unable to settle to anything? Or that extreme fatigue that sees you dragging yourself through you day only to find you’re unable to sleep at night?
Do you jump at the slightest noise?
These are all indicators of a state of stress where your nervous system is overloaded and over doing it.
We know that the modern lifestyle comes with plenty of challenges – be it financial stresses, work demands or family issues – there are plenty of opportunities to feel stressed. I really don’t think that our nervous system was made to cope with the current times in which we live!
Enduring prolonged periods of stress will eventually take a toll on the body, potentially leaving us with depleted energy stores, reduced immune response and poor resilience to further stressors.
How Can Naturopathy Help Stress?
When I meet clients dealing with extra stressful situations my first goal is to help their body have a more appropriate response to the stress they are dealing with. I love to use herbal medicines such as Withania and Passionflower to calm and sooth the nervous system, alongside Rhodiola and Siberian Ginseng for endurance, energy and stress adaptation.
Hormonal imbalances can also add pressure to an overactive nervous system – herbal medicines are brilliant for rediscovering this balance.
I might also use a sedative herbal formula and supplement Magnesium to assist with sleep quality issues.
There are some wonderful homeopathic remedies suitable for all ages to assist with the stress response.
Breathwork is a great way to address an over functioning nervous system.
