STRESS AND ANXIETY

We live in a fast paced society, and stress is becoming a common part of that society. In short bursts, stress can be a good thing, however, it is the stress that does not let up, the stress that comes home with us and keeps us up at night, which begins to cause havoc on our health and wellbeing.

​

Anxiety can have a similar impact on our bodies, with both long term anxiety and stress leading to low grade inflammation.

​

Some common symptoms as a result can be:

• Disrupted sleep or and/or difficulty falling to sleep

• Gastrointestinal disturbances, such as bloating, diarrhoea, and constipation

• Frequent colds and flues 

• Muscle tension 

• Fatigue 

• Flare ups of autoimmune conditions 

​

A whole range of natural health options exist to help reduce and manage stress and anxiety - from lifestyle interventions, to personalised nutritional and herbal medicine treatments. 

Diet is always one of the first places to start, as the connection between what we eat and our mental health is becoming indisputable.
