Stress looms large in all walks of life, from the routine, like paying bills on time and meeting deadlines, to the devastating, like a divorce, death or fatal disease. It cannot be avoided in today’s hectic world. Even environmental pollutants, allergies and variations in climate can trigger stress in some individuals.

Stress is a normal physiological response to a situation or event that makes you frustrated, angry or out of control. Stress can even be good to a certain extent, especially in situations such as your having to prepare for an important meeting at work. But, when a person begins to stress all the time, it becomes harmful.

Natural Way to Beat Stress:

Korean ginseng is reputed the world over for its stress busting and immunity enhancing properties. It is an adaptogen, which means that the herb stimulates the adaptive mechanisms of your body and restores its balance and harmony.

Korean ginseng is typically associated with ‘yang’ qualities, which is the male characteristic of the yin-yang, in traditional Chinese medicine, and as such, is said to be most beneficial for men in combating daily stress, enhancing strength and stamina, and boosting immunity. Numerous studies have demonstrated that a regular intake of ginseng can significantly improve the overall health of the individual.

If you are looking for a natural method to beat stress, Korean ginseng is your answer. The primary benefit of this herb is that it enables the body to remain in homeostasis or the body’s natural internal equilibrium, by adjusting its physiological processes. It is the adaptogenic properties of Korean ginseng that makes it possible.

Ginseng is a popular ingredient in almost all the tonics and supplements that are available in the market. However, caution must be exercised in buying ginseng; make sure that you buy it only from reputed manufacturers.

Though there are many anti-stress products in the market, stress management still remains a bugbear for medical practitioners all over the world. Studies conducted on the efficacy of Korean ginseng prove that it significantly reduces chronic stress and fatigue. Its anti-stress properties can be quite useful in treating stress induced disorders.

The herb not only reduces stress and the after effects, but it also helps stimulate the body’s immunity by increasing oxygen supply to the cells and tissues. Overall physical performance is benefited. Korean ginseng also fights fatigue and effects of aging. Depression, loss of appetite, impotence and other disorders brought about by a stressful life can be effectively brought under control by regular consumption of Korean ginseng.

Support Your Body with Adaptogens:

Your body is constantly battling the harmful effects that are brought about by stress, pollution and diseases. Give your body a little extra encouragement and support by supplementing its efforts with an effective adaptogenic herb like Korean Ginseng.

Those undergoing chemotherapy and other such stressful medical treatments can greatly benefit by the supporting and nurturing properties of Korean ginseng.

Too much stress can lead to high blood pressure, headaches, decreased libido, lack of sleep, and other disorders. Studies say that stress is a major contributor to many major illnesses, including cancer, cardiovascular diseases and even infectious diseases.

Give your body a little bit of extra help with Korean ginseng.

As a TCM herbalist for many years, I can tell you that Chinese Herbs can really help with Hot Flashes. Even stopping them altogether in many cases! This is because the Chinese Medicine system treats the cause of the Hot flashes. This is usually dryness and a deep dehydration that comes with age. TCM does not focus on hormones, or try to replace them!

Don’t worry you don’t have to know a thing about Chinese Herbs. Here are some effective formulas! All formula ingredients are well known and researched TCM herbs that are %100 safe, even for a child.

You can just print the formulas and take them to a Chinese Herb store. They are actually prescriptions! Some Chinese Herbal Pharmacies will make up capsules for you. Many will make up powders of all of the ingredients together. Just take a teaspoon mixed with some warm water 2-3 times a day.

Also, very effective is to gently boil the “raw” herbs for 20 minutes and simply drink the strong “Decoction” several times a day. This is the traditional way, but I haven’t seen many people willing to put up with the hassle, bad smell or taste, for too long. So, powders are fine, and easy to take.

Here’s Two Great formulas:

The first is for Hot Flashes that are really bad, as well as dehydration. All ingredients are well known and researched TCM herbs that are %100 safe, even for a child.

TCM HotFlashBuster #1 1-part…HuangBai(Phellodendron Rt.) 1-part…ZhiMu(Anemarrhena Rt) 1-part…DiGuPi(Lycium Rt) 1-part…YinChaiHU(Stellaria Rt) 1-part…MuDanPi(Moutan Bark) 1-part…DanShen(Chinese Salvia) 1-part…JinYinHua(Honeysuckle blossoms) 2-part…ShengDiHuang(Rehmania) 2-part…QingHao(Sweet Artemesia) 2-part…BaiShao(White Peony Rt) 2-part…GouQiZi(Lycium Fruit) 2-part…NuZhenzi(Privet Fruit) 2-part…TianMenDong(Asparagus Rt) 1-part…TuSiZi(Dodder Seeds) 1-part…WuWeZi(Schizandra seeds)

The second is if you have a tendency to get Bloated or swollen:

TCM HotFlashBuster #2

2-part…QingHao(Sweet Artemesia) 2-part…BaiShao(White Peony Rt) 2-part…GouQiZi(Lycium Fruit) 2-part…NuZhenzi(Privet Fruit) 2-part…TianMenDong(Asparagus Rt) 2-part…HuangBai(Phellodendron Rt.) 1-part…ZhiMu(Anemarrhena Rt) 1-part…DiGuPi(Lycium Rt) 1-part…YinChaiHU(Stellaria Rt) 1-part…MuDanPi(Moutan Bark) 1-part…DanShen(Chinese Salvia) 1-part…JinYinHua(Honeysuckle blossoms) 1-part…TuSiZi(Dodder Seeds) 1-part…WuWeZi(Schizandra seeds) 1-part…Houpo(Magnolia Bark)

If You want to try Western Herbs instead… Or, you can’t get TCM herbs… Or, it’s too weird… Here’s a Really effective Western Formula:

But, Relax, you don’t have to copy it exactly to get good results. Even if you can’t get all of the Herbs, it’s OK. They are all designed to go well together. These Herbs also tincture well together. Tinctures a are concentrated,powerful form of herb delivery. One teaspoon is enough 3 times a day is a medicinal dose.

MAKE your own Herbal Medicine tinctures!

You can make your own tinctures by mixing herbs with vodka or Brandy in a glass container. It’s simple: Pack 1/4-1/3 herbs (leaves,powders,roots,flowers etc.)into a large glass jar (mason,canning or even empty coffee, etc.)then fill the rest with any Drinkable alcohol like vodka or Brandy. Close top securely, shake it up, and be sure to write the date and the names of the herbs. This is crucial for later. In 2 weeks you can already start to use the tincture. But, don’t strain it yet! Let the herbs sit in the alcohol for at least a month.It will just get stronger and stronger with time. Then, strain out herb material and fill smaller bottles. Take 3 teaspoons daily. Be sure to dilute each dose well in water, juice etc. before taking by mouth.

Western Hot Flash Buster Formula:

Best is to get 1 ounce (or 25 grams) for each “Part” in the formula.

3-parts…Marshmallow Rt.(Althea) 2-parts…Asparagus Rt. 2-parts…White Peony Rt. 2-parts…Spirulina Powder 1-part….Lemon Balm(Mellissa) 1-part….Dandelion Rt.(Taraxacum) 1/4-part..Turmeric Rt and/or… 1/4-part..Fennel seeds

This is Deeply Nourishing and Hydrating. Tincture and start to take by the teaspoon in 2 weeks. 3-4 times a day is good for mild Hot Flashes. Every few hours for Serious Heat Blasters.

[Important!Don't forget, Alcohol in tinctures can Bother Hot Flashes! If you are taking tinctures every few hours, then pour boiling water over the dose in a cup. When it cools off, Dilute well. That's enough to neutralize the alcohol for most people.] You can also order the herbs in powder form and drink 1 teaspoon 3 X Day mixed with water. Or fill your own herbal capsules.
