Combating stress on a daily basis is everyone's prerogative. In our society, stress is caused by many factors, including work and family. There are a number of different ways of dealing with this problem, but if you don't want to have to rely on a doctor's prescription, and therefore have to resort to medication, we'd like to inform you that you can adopt a natural solution: phytotherapy.

It's not always easy to know how to relax, how to clear the mind and get rid of the stress of the day. However, there are many natural solutions to relieve stress, promote sleep and improve relaxation. Here's a selection of organic products from your Soin et Nature pharmacy to help relieve temporary stress and help you relax:

Stress is a natural mechanism for physiological adaptation to the stresses of everyday life. Physiologically, this adaptation to stress manifests itself as :

Acceleration of heart rate and blood pressure.
Energy mobilization, increased glucose consumption and gluconeogenesis.
Inhibition of anabolic pathways.

However, the repetition of this stress is the cause of overproduction of the stress hormone cortisol, resulting in metabolic imbalance and over-consumption of energy, with depletion of reserves.

Ashwagandha: a powerful adaptogen

In Ayurvedic medicine, ashwagandha is considered to be a powerful plant with a wide range of benefits. This plant promotes optimal relaxation. It facilitates the onset of sleep. This natural active ingredient helps manage stress in the body. It has an energizing effect on sexuality, muscle gain and helps you feel more energetic.

Ashwagandha stands out for its ability to regulate stress and anxiety through its action on levels of cortisol, the stress hormone.
