Ageless Herbs Adaptogenic
Herbs for Stress Relief

All of us have stressors in our lives; it is how we react to those stresses that determines if stress is going to negatively impact our health in the long run. One person may be able to go with the flow during major life changes such as buying a new house or loosing a job, whereas, another person faced with the same life challenges may have a major melt down.

It is known that our nervous system has two functional modes; the Sympathetic and Para-sympathetic. We are supposed to live in the parasympathetic mode that promotes a "rest and digest" response and a calming of the nerves to preserve adrenal health.


Unfortunately, many of us are
caught up in an unhealthy loop
of emotional responses to life's
every day stresses putting us in
the Sympathetic mode that
promotes a "fight or flight"
response inhibiting digestion,
increasing the heart rate,
constricting blood vessels,
inhibiting reproduction responses,
and causing our body to consume
tissue for quick energy. These
herbs help to re-wire your nervous
system so that you remain in the
healthier parasympathetic mode
when faced with stressors.















Enlightened Emperor reacts differently for
each individual. While it is designed
to take over a number of months to
'rewire' the nervous system, approximately
20% of patients immediately feel a
sense of calm when taking this formula.

The other 80% of patients are generally wound
pretty tight and require several weeks of treatment
before they notice a change in the way they react
to stressors. I keep patients on this formula for
3-6 months to obtain lasting benefits.
