My 1st MHH post is on Stress, which can be linked to loss, anxiety & depression.See also my posts on #paula.stone.18488 still showing my wild garden & connection with nature,herbs & wildflowers, therapy.
New research suggests how anxiety may also be linked to metabolism, tension & depletion. Antidepressants not so linked to low seratonin but may help neuro plasticity & brain circuits recover
As a Holistic therapist, depending on the individual, herbal medicine may use nervine relaxants, sedatives, tonics & adaptogen herbs for stress & stamina.
However, the recent research may show how herbs & spices linked to gut microbiome, glycaemic control, blood sugar levels & insulin resistance, pre/pro/post biotics,nutrition may help here too! How some herbs/spices may help with Neuro inflammation, protection, blood brain micro circulation, boost BDNF, neuroplasticity & more!Individuals are complex & so are some ‘conditions’, but so are herbs, with each plant containing many chemical constituents put tog in an individual formula
We can also work together, to find which stress or anxiety management tools may help you.You choose from a range of psychotherapeutic
approaches, EMDR, hypnotherapy,NLP & more to change unhelpful thoughts/feelings/behs or set coaching goals to change lifestyle & remove barriers.Find what is meaningful.Try hands on relaxation therapies & wellbeing days?

Does planting seeds help your bleeding heart(dicentra plant)or be the woman in the bath instead!Being mindful of buds insects,flowers,leaves, bark
