Description
Most people experience some form of occasional anxiety in daily life, whether it be due to an issue at work, relationship tension, or an upcoming exam. However, a percentage of the population experience much more frequent, intense moments of fear and panic that fall under the category of "anxiety disorder". These feelings of stress, anxiety, panic, and fear exist on a spectrum, with some people experiencing them briefly, while others experience them chronically, and everything in-between.Medical News Bulletin recently published an article titled "Alternative treatment for anxiety", where they examined recent studies on a powerful apoptogenic herb that has shown evidence of reducing the symptoms of anxiety and stress in certain people. Adaptogens have been used in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years but they've had a resurgence recently. In this episode, we look at one particular adaptogenic herb and how it may impact the body's response to stress and anxiety.
