Stress:
People are experiencing burnout like never before. It's easy to
see why. Between cell phones, pagers, and instant messaging- not to mention
job demands, family responsibilities, and a nonstop flow of obligations and
commitments- we're on call 24/7. No matter how many tasks we cross off our
to-do lists, they just keep getting longer. Just thinking about it all
makes us toss and turn well into the night, compromising the sleep we so
desperately need to replenish our energy reserves. We yawn and stumble
through our days, feeling simultaneously tired and wired. You may be one of
the millions of Americans who chronically expend more energy than they have,
someone whose energy reserves are almost always tapped out. This imbalance
puts an enormous amount of stress on body and mind. It also is a leading
cause of illness in the United States, where an estimated 80 percent of
health problems stem from stress.
What Do We Mean By Stress?
Stress occurs whenever the demands of life exceed the ability to
cope with them. Whenever we're feeling burned-out or showing signs of
physical and mental overload, such as frequent colds, low-level depression,
digestive problems, or plain old irritability. We most likely are dealing
with an energy deficit. Even the word burnout is on the mark because during
times of severe or chronic stress, the stress response system literally
burns extra energy. Stress- no matter what its source- uses extra energy.
The more severe the stress, the more depleted your energy reserves.
Negative thoughts and emotions- if they linger- can disturb the function of
the nervous system and contribute to high blood pressure, heart disease,
rheumatoid arthritis, and other illnesses. Some of these stressors, such as
caring for an ailing parent or child, may be beyond our control.
Rhodiola can play an important role in normalizing an overactive stress
response. It also can be beneficial if your stress level is high or your
energy is low. Either way, it helps restore balance.
The Stress-Aging Connection
What happens, as we grow older is that we become worn down by
repeated or prolonged stress. Complaints may arise from chronic stress- and
the resulting stress/energy imbalance- is premature aging. Rhodiola can
help by jump starting your energy, lifting your mood, and quieting your
anxiety.
Energize with Rhodiola
Each and every one of us has the power to get- and stay-
energized for life, even in the face of stress. Rhodiola is vital to
replenishing energy stores and maintaining that all-important stress/energy
balance. Rhodiola actually works best in stressful situations. It's a
potent antidote to today's hectic, high-anxiety world. Rhodiola takes the
edge off sensitivity and anxiety, enabling people to remain calmer and cope
better. Since Rhodiola is stimulating, it is best taken first thing in the
morning and at midday, ideally before breakfast and lunch. It should not be
taken in the late afternoon or evening because it may disrupt sleep. Once
you feel more energetic or you see some improvement in your mood, mental
alertness, memory, or physical endurance, stay at the same dose for at least
3 weeks to determine how much benefit you get.
Rhodiola time and time again has improved patients' health and vitality, as
well as their outlook on life. Rhodiola is safer and has less toxicity than
most of the prescription and over-the-counter remedies that people use every
day.
To date, no controlled scientific studies have examined the effects of
Rhodiola in women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. There is no reason to
think that the herb would be harmful, but until we have more information, we
do not feel comfortable recommending it for moms-to-be or new moms.
Rhodiola's ability to enhance mental and physical performance under stress
may be among the most intriguing sagas in herbal medicine.
Greg, a 45-year-old marathoner, was looking for a natural supplement to
increase his speed and endurance. He had read that Rhodiola is effective
for enhancing mental and physical stamina, so he decided to try it while
training for his next race. Shortly after he started taking the herb, he
reported feeling more mentally agile, with fewer dips in his motivation.
And he was amazed by the change in his running time. He crossed the finish
line in 2 hours, 45 minutes- more than 20 minutes faster than his personal
best for any previous marathon.
What Every Parent Should Know
When students get stressed during final exams, their levels of natural
killer cells and lymphocytes decline, which increases their chances of
contracting illnesses such as mononucleosis or activating latent viruses
such as herpes. Fortunately, most of them can survive a few weeks of
intense studying and testing without getting sick. Their immune defenses
return to normal once the exam period is over.
Some students, though, are more vulnerable to infections. What's more,
research has linked chronic academic stress with susceptibility to "mono,"
which can lead to months of fatigue and diminished academic performance.
Help is available in the form of Rhodiola, which can reduce
stress and fatigue during exam periods. If you have a student in college
who tends to get run-down or stressed-out, you might consider tucking a
bottle of the herb into the care package that you send around exam time. Be
sure to include clear instructions to start with one 100 milligram capsule
and to wait 3 to 7 days before adding another.
Most students do not need more than one or two capsules a day;
they should not exceed four a day. If they drink a lot of caffeine, they
should cut back while taking Rhodiola to avoid feeling jittery.
