Please your senses first. What you see, hear, taste, smell, and touch make a difference in your stress level. The following are general examples of how to please your senses to reduce stress.



Sight — Why do we go on vacation? Usually it’s because we need to relax and see something new or different. Most of us live in crowded cities where our neighbor is within an arm’s reach. We are surrounded by buildings or freeways — not a pretty sight. To please your sight, go find something beautiful — a beach, the mountains, or maybe a forest and enjoy the view.



Hearing — Quiet the outside noises and plug in a relaxing tune. Music is soothing, especially instrumental sounds that induce relaxation. There are several CDs and DVDs available that offer nature sounds to quiet the soul.



Taste — When you have a meal, do simply that: have the meal. Turn off the television, hang up the phone, stop working, and focus only on the taste of the food you’re eating. You will enjoy your food much more if you pay attention to the enjoyment of the food rather than multitasking over your dinner plate.



Smell — Burn scented candles. As noted before, aromatherapy scents are known to relax you. Try peppermint oil or other essential oil scents. Spray a scented air freshener in your car. Try a “new car” scent to give you that same feeling you had when you first bought your new car.



Touch — There are many ways to please your sense of touch. Give or receive a massage. Pet your cat or dog. Hug somebody you love. Hold a baby — babies are soft and fresh and can help relax your body.



It’s only natural to use your senses to reduce stress.

Like if you just take half a sleeping pill during the day will it reduce anxiety? Because I was reading that valerian root is used to treat insomnia in larger doses and anxiety in lighter doses during the day… can you do the same with regular sleeping pills?
Well, all this advice is fine and great but I can’t afford real anxiety medication. Been to the doctor and tried stuff already… anything effective is too expensive… so I’m resorting to any way that I can to get this elephant off my back… I have no choice but to try crappy alternatives.

If you were to look at many energy drinks and herbal supplements there is one ingredient that many of them share - ginseng. Ginseng is probably the most common herb that we know exists - but do we know exactly what it is for? Many people will believe blindly what the media or other people tell them without first researching it for themselves. Even if the product or herb is good you need to know the important facts about it before you try it.

Ginseng is native to the country of Siberia and other parts of Asia. This herb has been used for several centuries in traditional Chinese medicinal remedies. It has also been used by the Chinese as an energy tonic. Over in the west scientists have been researching the different ways that we can use ginseng in a way that would benefit us. From their research the believe that it could help to reduce stress and help us to think more clearly and be more alert.

Dozens of studies show that when men and women take ginseng it can help to reduce their level of stress. The studies of the effects that the herb has on people who took a regular ginseng supplement were more able to cope with high levels of physical and emotional stress when compared to those who had never before taken the herb.

But reducing stress is not the only big thing that it can do to help. It has also shown to increase the person’s memory, reduce their fatigue, and also to help fight off flu, cold, and other infections.

This particular herb is made up of compounds that are unique to only this plant. Several of these elements have a very strong effect on a person’s adrenal glands that sit on top of the kidneys. The adrenal glands work to release hormones in order to fight off emotional and physical stress. Through research scientists believe that the effect ginseng has on the adrenal glands is what helps to fight off the stress.

Chronic fatigue syndrome is something that many doctors have been unable to piece together and successfully treat. Yet, they think they might have found the cure with ginseng. While this is not yet the set treatment - but many patients have seen an improvement when taking regular supplements of ginseng.

If you are looking to purchase ginseng make sure you find one that has been processed as little as possible. While ginseng has obvious health benefits it is still a good idea to ask your doctor if you want to take it for a specific reason.
