Sympathetic Excess States & Energetic Considerations of Adaptogens and Nervines - Fine Tuning the Nervous System with Nervines, Adaptogens and Tonics
Stress is one of the largest contributors to illness, depleting our bodies of the energy needed to maintain health, digest our food, fight off infection, and keep us happy & smiling. All too many of us feel like we’re swimming upstream or in a constant state of “fight or flight”, even if we’re just standing in our kitchen. Fortunately, there are a myriad assortment of herbs not only known to offer a calming influence, but which can also act in a nervine tonic/tropho-restorative manner upon the nervous system as well.
Join herbalist jim mcdonald in a discussion of the herbs and behaviors that will support us through times of stress and strain, whether it be due to acute trauma or just trying to keep up with the unsustainable pace of life that surrounds us.
