The possibilities, how stress can affect the human body, are very diverse, and the treatment of stress must be just as diverse, if you want to take effective action against it. Various physical symptoms are - almost against better knowledge - still treated very mechanically by conventional medicine - if the blood pressure is too high, it is lowered with medication, and upsets digestion, this is how it is tried, remedy this problem with medication.
This may result in an alleviation of the symptoms, a lasting improvement in the condition is of course usually absent. You can still get an upgrade this way for a limited time.
How is stress usually treated?, when it becomes a serious problem?
A common and widespread possibility, those with a range of physical problems, closely related to stress, can help, is the administration of valerian preparations. Middle, obtained from this plant, can help with nervous states of excitement, difficulty falling asleep, for nervous-related spasmodic pain in the gastrointestinal area or for nervous heart problems.
These remedies are known for their sedative effects, angst- and tension-relieving effect and for their uniqueness, especially sleep, which can be an important component in the treatment of stress, to facilitate and encourage.
Valerian preparations have the positive property, not forcing sleep, but rather to promote a relaxed state and thus make it easier to fall asleep.
For temporary mild to moderate depressive disorders, which can also be an effect of stress, agents with St. John's wort extract are also often used. However, these funds are not suitable, if the nervous symptoms predominate in a patient - here valerian with its calming effect should be used. Both remedies are proven in the medical treatment of stress and usually represent a cheaper alternative to others, stronger means, because they indirectly counteract stress – if you are relaxed, will not normally be prone to stress symptoms, so these natural remedies are a recognized alternative.
In the case of severe stress disorders, of course, consulting a doctor is an important step, however, they should normally refrain from doing so, resorting to too strong means – the effects may be positive in the short term, but in the end they probably only bring relief from the symptoms, but not from the stress itself.
