Home Remedies for Stress
Stress treatment using Holy Basil
The leaves of holy basil have been found beneficial in the treatment of stress.
They are regarded as an anti-stress agent. Recent studies have shown that the
leaves protect against stress significantly. It has been suggested that even
healthy persons should chew twelve leaves of basil twice a day, morning and
evening, for preventing stress
Stress treatment using Sage
The herb sage is considered valuable in stress. A tea prepared from the leaves
of this plant should be given in the treatment of this condition. This tea is
prepared by pouring a cup of boiling water over one teaspoon of dried sage
leaves. The water should be covered and infused for several minutes. It should
then be strained and sweetened, with honey, if desired. In the case of fresh
leaves, a tablespoon of coarsely chopped sage leaves should be used and tea
prepared in the same way
Stress treatment using Nutrients
Certain nutrients have proved beneficial in relieving stress. These are vitamins A
and B; and minerals such as calcium, potassium, and magnesium which reduce
the feeling of irritability and anxiety. Vitamin A is found in green and yellow
vegetables. Some of the valuable sources of vitamin B are cashew nuts, green
leafy vegetables, yeast, sprouts, and bananas. An element of vitamin B complex,
pantothenic acid, is especially important in preventing stress. It has a deep effect
on adrenal glands and the immune system; an adequate amount of this vitamin,
along with vitamin A, can help prevent many of the changes caused by stress.
Potassium deficiencies are associated with breathlessness, fatigue, insomnia,
and low blood sugar. Potassium is essential for healthy heart muscles. Nuts and
whole grains are good sources of this mineral. Calcium is a natural sedative.
Deficiencies can cause fatigue, nervousness and tension. Dairy products, eggs,
almonds, and soya beans are rich sources of this mineral. Magnesium is known
as nature's tranquilliser and is associated with the prevention of heart attacks. It
is found in many fruits, vegetables, seeds, dates, and prunes
