Natural Remedies for Anxiety and Stress Relief
If you sometimes find yourself feeling tense, impatient or short tempered, you may be suffering from stress. Stress is a normal physiological reaction to life-threatening danger. This response is typically called the “fight or flight” response.
When a human being encounters a life-threatening situation, a flood of hormones enter the bloodstream to help us survive. Hormones like adrenalin and cortisol, give us superhuman strength, a great big boost of energy and they temporarily switch off our other bodily functions like digestion, fighting disease and looking for a mate.
In the early days of human evolution, the stress response was vital in keeping us alive. Unfortunately, many of the modern situations that trigger the stress response are not life threatening at all.
Many of us tend to live our lives in this ‘Survival Mode’ and what science is finding is that the ‘Fight or Flight’ response that used to save our lives -is now killing us!
Chronic stress is bad for your health!
- Your Career
- Your Responsibilities
- Family Situations
- The Economy
- The Threat of Terrorism
- Even the nightly news can contribute to modern stress and anxiety.
Getting adequate rest, proper nutrition and practicing relaxation techniques each and every day will greatly reduce your stress and anxiety. However, there are also two very effective herbal remedies for stress that work very, very well.
Holy Basil is an ancient Ayurvedic adaptogen or anti-stress compound. Countless studies have shown that Holy Basil can significantly reduce feelings of stress and anxiety when taken regularly. Holy Basil has even been found to improve memory, reduce cholesterol, relieve headaches and Holy Basil also has a very positive effect on the adrenal and central nervous system.
Serenity 2.0 is an ancient Chinese herbal formula that calms and relaxes the body -without making you feel groggy or dopey. This centuries old herbal formula effectively reduces the body’s stress and anxiety response, encourages relaxation and gives one a sense of inner calm and peace.
Serenity 2.0 can be taken several times a day…
- First thing in the morning
- Before heading off into morning traffic
- Before a stressful meeting or presentation
- Right before bedtime
- And even at night when you wake and have trouble falling back to sleep
If you are feeling nervous, anxious, tense, easily distracted, and fidgety -you may be suffering the effects of undue stress and anxiety. Chronic stress and anxiety have been linked to high blood pressure, headaches, migraines, low immunity and a shortened life-span.
Don’t take chances with your health.
Eat well. Learn to relax. Meditate. Get plenty of rest, exercise and consider using natural herbal remedies to reduce your stress, relieve your anxiety and improve your life.
To Long Life and Good Health!
Supplements that Help You Sleep: Part One
Do you have trouble sleeping? Does your mind race at night? Are you stressed over all you have yet to accomplish?
Your diet may be deficient in several essential nutrients which are keeping you from the rest and relaxation you deserve.
~Let’s take a look at one particular essential nutrient that your body absolutely must have in order to function properly and enable you to sleep like you’re supposed to.
Magnesium:
Magnesium is critical to human health. A vital nutrient found in whole grains, legumes and green leafy vegetables (like spinach!) -magnesium is responsible for regulating heartbeat, blood pressure, blood sugar and over 300 more essential metabolic functions.
Magnesium deficiency is related to hyperexcitability, nervousness, restlessness, mood swings, depression and in severe cases even death.
The USDA estimates that more than two-thirds of the US population is magnesium deficient.
More on magnesium from the USDA here.
Most common multivitamins and magnesium supplements source magnesium oxide or magnesium chloride in the manufacturing process.
Unfortunately, less than 30% of these compounds can be absorbed by the human body. Supplement manufacturers generally use these compounds because they are inexpensive, compact easily and are easy to handle in an industrial environment.
That’s good news for manufacturers -bad news for you.
The best sources of dietary magnesium come from green leafy vegetables, nuts and some whole grains of course.
However, if you do not receive enough magnesium from your diet you may want to consider supplementing with a quality magnesium supplement.
But which magnesium supplement should you choose?
Look for magnesium supplements containing magnesium chelate, magnesium fumerate, magnesium citrate or magnesium glycinate. These forms of magnesium are highly bio-available and are readily absorbed by the human body.
Naturally, I recommend Poliquin Supplements.
Poliquin’s Ubermag Plus is an outstanding magnesium supplement that I recommend to any client suffering from poor sleep, restlessness, lethargy, foggy thinking, moodiness, migraines, or insomnia .
Ubermag Plus contains a proprietary blend of four different magnesium chelates and has 300 mg of L-Tryptophan to help you improve your sleep.
If you need better sleep and you aren’t getting the magnesium you need from your diet, don’t shortchange yourself.
Invest in a quality magnesium supplement like Poliquin’s Ubermag Plus and get the rest you need.

Are Poliquin Supplements Worth the Investment?
Few of us take good care of our health. Proper nutrition and exercise take a backseat to work, school, family and free time. Wise use of nutritional supplements can help us fill the gap. But which supplements are best and are really worth the money? Let’s take a look at two popular multivitamins and decide which one really delivers.
Let’s begin by comparing Poliquin Supplements popular multivitamin, Uber Nutrients with the popular multivitamin, Centrum Performance.
Centrum Performance (120 capsules) retails for $20.99 from Amazon.com. It contains the full spectrum of essential vitamins, minerals and meets or exceeds the USDA recommended requirements.
Poliquin Supplements Uber Nutrients (120 capsules) retails for $27.00 and also contains the full spectrum of essential vitamins, minerals and meets or exceeds the USDA recommended requirements.
Using a cost to cost comparison, it would seem that Centrum Performance is a better value than Poliquin Supplements, Uber Nutrients. But as responsible consumers who care about what we put in our bodies -we need to look a little deeper.
Examining the ingredients we can see the concentration of each ingredient by the order in which it is listed. Looking at the Centrum Performance label, we see that the second most prevalent ingredient is a substance called microcrystalline cellulose.
Cellulose is the organic structural component found in green plants. Cellulose is also the primary element found in wood, cardboard and paper products. Industrially, it is commonly used as a binder or thickening agent to hold other ingredients together. In this case, the microcrystalline cellulose is being used as a binder -or glue -to hold the multivitamin together.
Poliquin Supplements Uber Nutrients does not contain microcrystalline cellulose.
The third most prevalent ingredient in the Centrum Performance product is a compound named potassium chloride.
Potassium chloride is a corrosive compound commonly used in fertilizer, fire extinguishers and is the third compound in a three compound mixture used for lethal injection. In this case, it is being used as cheap and ineffective potassium.
The Poliquin multivitamin, Uber Nutrients, does not contain potassium chloride.
The fifth most prevalent ingredient in Centrum Performance is a compound named calcium carbonate.
Calcium carbonate is a geological compound derived primarily from marble. Its primary use is in the construction industry as a foundation building material. Finely ground calcium carbonate is used in the production of baby diapers.
Calcium carbonate is used as a very cheap source of calcium by food and supplement manufacturers.
Poliquin Supplements, Uber Nutrients does not contain calcium carbonate.
Centrum Performance does have a slight price advantage over Poliquin Supplements, Uber Nutrients -but for purity, safety and my own good health -I choose Poliquin Supplements.
Shouldn’t you?
Be careful what you put in your body. It’s the only one you have.
