Autumn Relaxation
A hot cup of tea, falling leaves against the window, and a cozy spot in the house to start a good book is relaxing; however, stress can keep us from feeling truly relaxed. Stress can cause symptoms such as fatigue, headache, sleep issues, stomach pain, depression, lack of motivation or focus, anxiety, and muscle pain. When our body is stressed, our adrenal glands produce the stress hormones cortisol and adrenaline. Relaxation techniques and herbal remedies such as astragalus, ashwagandha and rhodiola can also help manage stress so the holiday season can begin peacefully.
