タイトルまたは説明

Some of us live stressful lives. For some, stress is an occupational hazard. Fortunately, there are herbal medicines that combat the effect of stress on our bodies and even the effects it has on our nerves. If your nerves are taking a beating, you might want to think about taking a daily tonic to strengthen and nourish them. If it sounds as if I am suggesting that you add one more activity to your already overwhelming schedule, I am. But hey, if you can get organized enough to make coffee every morning, you ought to be able to get it together to add a nerve tonic to your daily routine.

Damiana, the plant we will use to generally strengthen the nerves, is yet another Native American plant. Damiana can be found growing throughout the southern United States, Mexico, and well into Latin America. It looks much like oregano. The whole stems are harvested when the plant breaks into bloom. Once they are dry, they are stripped of their leaves and buds, and that’s what you buy at the herb shop.
