In the time of our grandmothers, this phrase that we hear today: "I'm stressed", was not said, because this disease it did not exist as such. However, grandmothers knew how to recognize the moments in which a person suffered from this disease, although they did not know what to call it but they said they came from the jitters.
Lavender, oil and sun
Let's see a natural and simple way to combat Stress. With the same lavender that the cabinets were scented, it is possible to combat this problem. The grandmothers took two handfuls of flowers from lavender essence freshly cut and macerated in the sun in a liter of olive oil for 3 days.
Afterwards, they filtered them through a fine thread cloth, took more flowers and put them back in the filtered oil in order to take the lavender essence to the max. Then they put the bottle in the sun for 3 more days.
Later, well filtered, the person suffering from stress was given a piece of sugar cane with 4 drops of lavender oil every morning, until his improvement was evident.
Egg yolk to calm
Among the many foods that grandmothers gave to compensate for fatigue, lack of concentration, or headaches, the egg yolk was a natural and effective remedy. The yolk quickly relieves all these setbacks. Since it should not be abused, it should be taken every 2 days for two weeks.
Herbs against stress
If you feel pressured and with tachycardias, and you have the sensation of breathing with difficulty, a good remedy will be an infusion of linden or passion flower.
When stress affects the digestive system, it is advisable to resort to a chamomile-based tea or an infusion of mint peppermint. If tension has built up in the shoulders, if you suffer from insomnia or have panic attacks, you can try a valerian infusion half an hour before going to bed.
If stress causes headaches from tension and migraines, it will be very useful to take an infusion of willow bark. Finally, if a feeling of nervous exhaustion is experienced, it can be consumed oats, either in infusion or through any food made with this natural product.
