"Stress Relief Herbal Formula" contains adaptogens and tonics such as Ashwaganda, Siberian Ginseng and Rhodiola which revitalise the individual and elevate the vitality.
Under stressful conditions, body releases cortisol to prepare the body for an increased need of energy. We have a lot of scientific evidences backing up the detrimental effect of stress on risk of developing a high blood sugar level, insulin insensitivity, weight gain and obesity.
Adaptogenic property is attributed to increasing the body's ability to adapt to environmental factors and are generally used for people exposed to a high level stress. Clinical studies support that those herbs with adaptogenic activities reduce the cell damage and oxidative stress when the body is undergoing a physical or mental stress. Adaptogens can correct an imbalance of hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal axis by modulating the release of stress hormones.
Here are some of the herbs contained in Stress Relief formula that were carefully selected to protect our bodies from stress response.
Ashwaganda is a high level adaptogenic herb, historically used to nourish the body tissue, enhance longevity, build strengthen and support immune function in India for thousands of years. The roots of Ashwaganda are found to be similar to Korean Ginseng roots, with less stimulating adaptogenic effects. In several studies, it countered the increase in adrenal weight, proving its beneficial effect on protecting the adrenal gland.(1) It also prevented stimulation of dopaminergic system in the brain which significantly increases after stress, and thereby improving the adaptability to daily stress. (2)
Rehmannia restores the adrenal function by helping body to product a moderate level of cortisol, a stress hormone and to enhance the energy reserve, Yin.(3) It is a kidney tonic and fluid balancer in Traditional Chinese Medicine, protecting the liver and cooling the heat. One clinical study proved its favourable effect on modulating cortisol by antagonising the suppressive effect of glucocorticoids in HPA-axis.
Green Oats restore the depleted nervous system and is very nutritive, providing the body with minerals and essential nutrients. It is not a strong sedative, suitable to be used in daytime to calm anxious mind and racing thoughts . Ashwaganda and Rhodiola also support a healthy mood by gently lifting the mood and calming the nervousness.

Why Prefer Herbal Liquid Over Tablets? Nowadays We find more herbal products in tablet or capsule forms on the shelves of health food stores than in traditional liquid preparations. It just feels so handy and easy to swallow the capsules instead of taking the herbal liquid products. However, there are considerable advantages of using herbal liquid extracts for your health to maximise their therapeutic effects.
First, the herbal liquid extracts are the end products of the plants that contain the phytochemicals closest to the original constituents. They go through the minimal processing and thus chances of alteration in therapeutic phytochemicals are low, unlike the tablets or capsules that inevitably go through several steps of manufacturing process. Second, they have higher bioavailability than other preparations. Herbal liquids are absorbed into the blood stream and is the best way of deliveing every health benefits of concentrated herbal constituents into our system in the most effective way. Tablets and capsules need to be disintegrated and dissolved in more absorbable form in the digestive process for their therapeutic phytochemicals to become active. Not all of herbal constituents will be absorbable in some people whose guts are compromised or metabolic function is not optimal. And they contain fillers, colors, binders, coatings etc to give them a clean and colorful apperance. It is advisable to read a lable on the supplements in order to avoid the harmful additives or best recommended to use a high quality supplements from the naturopaths or herbalists.. Practitioner-Only herbal supplements in tablet/capsule forms are available only after a consultation in Mama Herbs.
