Stress (Holistic)

About This Condition

“Stressed out” is a common phrase these days. While some stress is healthy, unwanted stress can be harmful. According to research or other evidence, the following self-care steps may be helpful.
  • Get some extra C

    Help normalize stress-hormone levels by taking 1 to 3 grams of vitamin C every day

  • Relax with rhodiola

    Taking 170 mg a day of a standardized herbal extract during stressful phases may improve your feelings of well-being and support mental function

  • Work in a workout

    Improve your resistance to stress by enjoying routine aerobic exercise

  • Participate in a program

    Find a stress-reduction program that includes group counseling, instruction in coping skills, relaxation training, and other helpful techniques

  • Check out tyrosine

    Occasionally taking this amino acid before a stressful activity can help maintain your mental capacity; calculate 150 mg for every 2.2 lbs of body weight and split into two doses (take the second dose 40 to 90 minutes after the first)
