Stress
Stress causes an inability to sleep or eat, digestive problems, excessive behaviour patterns, irritability, tense, nervous disposition, depression, inability to concentrate, unable to 'switch-off' or relax.
Long-term stress can lead to a depletion of nutrients and exhausted adrenal glands. This then lowers the body's resistance to infections. Have you noticed that when you go on holiday, your body breathes a sigh of relief and you come out with a cold or sore throat? In some people stress can lead to dry skin, break-outs or loss of hair.
At Natural Practices we test for deficiencies in vitamins and minerals and ensure that the endocrine system (hormones) is coping with the increased demand. Once imbalances have been identified we can then tailor a Programme which may include supportive remedies such as herbs and nutrition. A specific herbal blend is often created to provide additional support to the adrenal glands which are the glands that get the most abuse from us when we are stressed. Please telephone or email to book an appointment for a Hormone/ Vitamin and Mineral Test.
We have a number of specific products available on our On-line Shop Nervous System. If you are unsure which product would be most beneficial for you, please contact us and we will be pleased to advise. We can also make up individual Bach Flower remedies according to your needs. Massage and/or Reiki are also a wonderful way to calm the soul.
