Relaxation
Stress is primarily a physical response. When stressed, the body thinks it is under attack and switches to ‘fight or flight’ mode, releasing a complex mix of hormones and chemicals such as adrenaline, cortisol and norepinephrine to prepare the body for physical action. This causes a number of reactions, from blood being diverted to muscles to shutting down unnecessary bodily functions such as digestion.
This is why our bodies need relaxation to slow the physical reactions and get us back on an even keel. Supplements can help by soothing the reactions in the body and return a sense of calm and wellbeing.
