What's Inside
About Stress
We believe in the power of plants to negate the effects of modern-day stress. Stress can manifest itself in our bodies, mind, and soul is many ways, and we aim to be your source in navigating and finding solutions to learn, feel better and transform.
Stress is your body's way of responding to any kind of demand or threat. When you sense danger—whether it's real or imagined—the body's defenses kick into high gear in a rapid, automatic process known as the “fight-or-flight” reaction or the "stress response."
Evolution has changed many things, but our response to stress, remains the same. Our bodies respond the same way today when your boss yells at you, as our ancestors bodies once did when a saber-tooth tiger was chasing them. For most of us, this state of flight-or-flight is the ‘new normal’, leading our bodies to be in a perpetual state of stress. This can result in changes in mood, eating habits, weight, hormones, sleep patterns, emotions and so much more.
