Stress in the 21st century is no joke. 🌀As human residents of this beautiful planet, most of us are being bombarded with a wide array of toxicity from all directions. Many of us often forget that stress doesn’t just come from a busy life or emotional overwhelm, stress can come equally as strong from a biological inheritance, environmental toxicity, agricultural chemicals, exposure to heavy metals, electro-smog, and viruses.🩸 Ok here’s a loving reminder + ways to manage stress hormones…with practices and herbal support: First off, WE ACTUALLY NEED THEM. Secondly, CERTAINLY NOT 24/7 ❤️‍🩹 1. Research shows that intentional breathwork 👃🏽can reduce stress and lower cortisol levels. Try pairing it with Holy Basil, which eases stress, or fellow adaptogens, which are known to release tension + promote relaxation. 2. When you feel scattered 😵‍💫grounding foods like root vegetables + herbal tonics can anchor your energy. Astragalus builds resilience, while Maca restores vitality. 3. Studies suggest that poor sleep 💤 increases cortisol, the body’s primary stress hormone, making recovery harder. Use herbal allies like Passionflower and Ashwagandha, whom assist restless nights. 4. Physical movement🧘🏽‍♀️ is a powerful way to clear stress hormones like adrenaline. Incorporate herbs like Turmeric and Ginger, which have been shown to reduce inflammation and boost circulation. 5. Studies show that dehydration can increase feelings of anxiety. 🌿Replenish with Nettle, a mineral-rich herb that supports hydration, or Horsetail, which helps nourish + strengthen. 6. Research suggests that social connection boosts oxytocin ❤️ "the love hormone." Whether you’re spending time with loved ones or connecting with nature, open your heart with herbs like Rose * Hawthorn. 7. Decluttering 🫧improves focus and invites tranquility. Draw upon Lemon Balm or Gotu Kola to foster clarity and cognitive resilience.
