Natural Substances Reducing Stress and Anxiety
Ashgawanda is an adaptogen, a substance that improves physiological balance in the body without disrupting normal biological functions. Native to India, this medicinal herb helps to reduce cortisol, ultimately decreasing stress and anxiety. Other benefits include anti inflammatory, pain reduction, and decreased blood sugar levels.
Rhodiola Rosea is another adaptogen that decreases stress, anxiety and depression. A specific extract called Rhodax works to reduce anxiety. Look for products that are similar to those studied in clinical trials containing 2-3% rosavin and 0.8-1% salidroside. Start with 100 mg once a day for a week and then increase the dosage by 100 mg every week, up to 400 mg a day, if needed.
