Herbal Remedies For Nerves & Stress

Stress itself is not bad or dangerous. It is part of the wear and tear of everyday life and cannot indeed, should not be avoided. Challenges and changes add spice to life, fire the imagination and spur us on to new achievements if handled in the right way. Many of the happiest and most flourishing habitancy are those who have learned to sass to high levels of stress in a balanced way.

[b]Catmint[/b]

A stress victim, by contrast, fails to adapt to pressures and problems as well as he might. For example, he may regularly bundle unpaid bills into a drawer and try to forget about them, or lose his temper and call his wife extravagant or even obsessively write out a cheque the puny each new bill arrives.

Each response may sometimes be appropriate, but when one of them becomes a general way of coping, the follow can be a serious stress problem. Luckily, help lies generally in the victim's own hands.

What the Natural Doctors Recommend

You are advised to eat a healthy diet, perhaps supplemented by multivitamin and mineral tablets to replenish nutrients which are used up more fast when under stress. Try not to look to cigarettes, alcohol, coffee or tranquillizers to make you feel better. Take practice or convention relaxation techniques or meditation instead, and give yourself regular "time out" wholly free of work pressures.

Herbal Medicine: To help you unwind, try infusions of lemon balm, camomile, catmint or lime blossom. Include oats in your diet unless you suffer from Gluten Intolerance. Practitioners may prescribe stronger relaxants such as skullcap, valerian or cowslip, or the restoring herbs vervain and St Jon's wort, as well as recommending changes in your way of life.

Herbal Allies For Post-Menopausal Women - Pt 3-5

BIOFLAVONOIDS

Plants containing flavonoids (from the Latin, flavus, yellow) were originally valued as dye plants. Today we appreciate them because we know they are anti-inflammatory, antihepatotoxic, anti-tumor, antimicrobial, antiviral, antioxidant, antiallergic, antiulcer, analgesic, and strengthening to the entire circulatory system, from capillaries to heart.

Catnip Plants

Flavonoids have an estrogenic effect, scientifically established as 1/50,000th the activity of estradiol. Bioflavonoids in foods are essential to our ability to absorb ascorbic acid. No wonder plants exceptionally rich in flavonoids are such important allies for post-menopausal women.

Regular use of bioflavonoid-rich herbs helps:

restore vaginal lubrication decrease or end hot flashes improve pelvic tone improve liver activity strengthen the bladder lower risk of stroke & heart attack reduce water build-up in tissues reduce muscle cramping ease sore joints improve resistance to infection

The richest source of bioflavonoids is the inner skin of citrus fruits. "Peel Power" is a lovely way to start the day.

Buckwheat greens, Buckweizen, Sarrasin (Fagopyrum esculentum) are an exceptional source of bioflavonoids. Grow them at home, like alfalfa sprouts, or buy them dried and made into tablets. (Kasha, the grain of buckwheat, does not contain bioflavonoids.) The wild equivalent is the leaves of yellow dock (Rumex crispus) or any knotweed (Polygonum).

Elder, Holunder, Sureau (Sambucus nigra and other species) are rich in bioflavonoids. I use the berries in jelly and wine, and the flowers for tinctures and wines.

Hawthorn, Weissdorn, Aubépine (Crataegus oxycantha and other species) offers berries, flowers, and leaves full of bioflavonoids. I use the berries to makes jellies, wines, and a heart-strengthening tincture. The flowers and leaves, dried, make a wonderful tea.

Horsetail, Ackerschachtelhalm, Prêle des champs (Equisetum arvense) is best picked in the spring. I use it fresh in soups (not salads) and dried as a tea.

Knotweeds, Vogelknöterich, Renouée des oiseaux, Ho Shou Wu (Polygonaceae) are well known for their abundance of bioflavonoids. In addition to buckwheat and yellow dock leaves, try the greens of any other knotweed local to your area.

Roses, Hagrose, Rosier (Rosa canina and other species) are sisters to hawthorn and similarly abundant in bioflavonoids. I use fresh rose hips in jellies and wines and dry them for winter teas and soups. We eat the blossoms in salads and use glycerin to draw out the healing qualities of flowers and leaf buds.

Shepherd's purse, Hirtentäschel, Capselle (Capsella bursa-pastoris) leaves are wonderful in salads. When it flowers, I use the whole fresh plant to make vinegar and vodka tinctures, capturing bioflavonoids for later use. (A dose is 25-50 drops three times daily.)

Sea buckthorn, Sanddorn, Argousier (Hippophae rhamnoides) leaves are rich in many nutrients needed by post-menopausal women: bioflavonoids, carotenes (vitamin A), vitamin C, vitamin E, and the B vitamin complex, especially B6. If you live where it grows, try the tender baby leaves in salads.

Toadflax, Frauenflachs, Linaire commune (Linaria vulgaris) flowers add flavonoids to salads. They can also be tinctured. (A dose is 15-20 drops.)

White dead nettle, Weisse Taubnessel, Lamier blanc (Lamium album) doesn't sting, so try it in salads. Or dry bunches when it's flowering and get your bioflavonoids from the infusion; or make a vinegar.

Catnip - Why Most Cats Love This and Other Herbal Treats So Much

Not all cats like catnip. As a matter of fact, only a slight majority do love this plant, so whether your cat likes it or not is already genetically programmed. But the cats that take to it really love it. Catnip and its scent is used on cat toys, scratching posts, and cat trees to encourage cats to play and to scratch on those cat items.

For you botanists, the technical term for the catnip plant is Nepeta Cataria, which creates moments of ecstasy in those cats who like the herb. A substance called nepetalactone that is present in the leaves and stems causes the behavior in cats, which only lasts a few minutes.

Catnip Plants

Catnip sometimes includes rolling, leaping, rubbing, purring, and a general uninhibited happiness in cats. Kittens that are under the age of 3 months do not react to catnip at all. Fortunately, the plant is nonaddictive and harmless to cats, so even a kitty that really adores it is not in any danger.

Valerian is another herb, although lesser known, that makes cats happy. Valerian and catnip can be put together as part of a cat garden. Plant both in cat-proof areas so your cat will not pull the plants completely out by their roots. After the plants are large enough to take it, trim them and offer the trimmings to your cat as a treat.

Cats love to graze, so an alfalfa, rye, or wheat batch growing in a sunny area will be well-appreciated by your cat. Parsley and thyme are other herbs cats love to nibble on. These plants can be grown indoors or in a garden. Just protect them while they are growing.
