Address the whole: For chronic stress, one must address the whole situation. What caused the chronic stress in the first place? Ashwagandha is a relatively safe herb that can be used for chronic stress to help symptomatically as well as to help rebuild the system. However, exercise, stress management techniques, and a good diet are also key as well as addressing the source of the stress.

Stress: is a normal part of life and we need to learn ways to cope w/stress. Natural or pharma meds can help to relieve the symptoms but do not address the root of the situation. it's best to learn some stress management and do whatever is possible to remove the source of the stress. A clinical psychologist can help. Peace and good health.
