Stress is likely the single largest contributor to
illness, depleting our bodies of the energy needed to
maintain health, fight off infection, and keep us happy
& smiling. All to many of us feel like we're swimming
upstream or in a constant state of fight or flight, even
if we're just standing in our kitchen. Fortunately,
there are a myriad assortment of herbs known not only
known to offer a calming influence, but which act in a
restorative manner upon the nervous system as well.
Join herbalist jim mcdonald in a discussion of the herbs
and behaviors that will support us through times of
stress and strain, whether it be due to acute trauma or
just trying to keep up with the unsustainable pace of
life that surrounds us. Special attention will be given
to differentiating between the herbs that are best used
for an immediate short term effect and those that help
to nouish and strengthen the body's core vitality over
the long haul. The role of the adrenals, the "fight or
flight response", and the importance of breathwork and
other supportive therapies are also discussed.
