Nature helps to relax

With all the demands focused on you, it is difficult to find peace. You often don't even allow yourself that rest. But when you are constantly under pressure and feel stress, your body produces stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline. Stress doesn't hurt if it lasts for a short time, but for the longer term, it's not a good thing. It can then overburden both body and mind. If you are under pressure for a long time, this is comparable to a bow that is constantly tense. At some point, the tendon can snap. That is why it is good to relax regularly and take the pressure off the kettle. But relaxing can be tricky. Your thoughts do not settle, your muscles remain tense and you often suffer from sleeping problems. But rest assured. Herbs from nature can help with this. Whether it is more relaxation before a difficult conversation, sleeping problems, finding the peace to meditate: these herbs give your body and mind more peace.
