Natural Stress Relief

There a many nonprescription supplements have been shown to be effective natural stress remedies. However before you begin any  vitamin, mineral, or herb therapy as natural stress relief, and you are taking prescription medication, check with your doctor. Also be extremely cautious if your are pregnant or nursing. Only begin taking one of the natural stress remedies, never take multiple supplements in the beginning.  The basic reason for this is that if you do have any negative side effects, and you are taking multiple supplements, you won’t know which one is the culprit.

 

Many of these natural stress remedies can be purchased at local vitamin stores, or online, through such vendors as i-Supplements.  Here are some of the best natural stress remedies.

 

B vitamins- The B vitamins - especially B₆ and B₁₂- help the body regulate it’s response to stress, and help you maintain a healthy nervous system.  Generally because these vitamins work best in combination with other nutrients, also take a multivitamin-mineral supplement twice a day.

 

Kava kava-This herb is used widely in Europe to treat anxiety and insomnia. It will also help to relieve acute and chronic anxiety without making you feel drowsy or ‘fuzzy.’ Never take Kava with prescription sleep medication as it may have a negative reaction, or if you have Parkinson’s, as it may worsen your condition.

 

Saint John’s Wort-This supplement works extremely well as an antidepressant. It also relieves chronic stress related anxiety. You will have to take it for a few weeks before you feel its beneficial effects.  Never take St. Johns Wort if you are already taking prescription anti depressants.  It can also make you more sensitive to the sun so be sure to watch for that.

 

Valerian-A natural sleep aid extremely popular in Europe. It contains ingredients similar to those in Valium. It is useful for relieving stress and anxiety because it promotes restful sleep. Studies have shown that it’s not addictive, nor does it make you feel groggy the next morning as sleeping pills can.

There are many other natural stress remedies that will help you feel better, and relax without the potentially dangerous effects of perscription medication, or cost.
