Stressed? How to support your adrenal glands, naturally



 "I'm Stressed!" We say it all the time, yet it can be hard to really pin down what's really going on in our bodies when we say it, especially if (like for many people) it has become a familiar state of mind & body.

Many organizations and wellness initiatives have sought to tackle the causes, effects, and coping strategies for managing stress, because it has very real consequences not only in our private lives but on workplace productivity. The Canadian Mental Health Association sheds some light on the topic, and has dedicated a portion of their website to helping people understand the signs and symptoms of stress and how to cope, including a stress index test and a number of really helpful articles: http://www.cmha.ca/mental-health/your-mental-health/stress/

Whether you're experiencing it now or in the future, stress is certainly something we all go through - and it is important that we all be armed with some tools to cope with its effects. Naturopathic medicine is a primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with traditional and natural forms of medicine. The naturopathic philosophy is to stimulate the healing power of the body and treat the underlying cause of disease.
