Introducing Our Newest Short Course: Herbal Self-Care For Stress Management

Are you stressed?

According to a 2014 study by the American Institute of Stress, 77% of Americans regularly experience physical symptoms of stress with 73% of those experiencing psychological symptoms as well (American Institute of Stress, n.d.).

As you probably already know, everyday things like marriage, kids, work, finances, and sleep deprivation, when not properly managed, can lead to chronic stress. This chronic stress can negatively impact your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health, which can lead to more stress in your life. Did you know that health issues are the third leading cause of chronic stress in the United States (American Institute of Stress, n.d.)?

It sounds like a nasty cycle, doesn’t it?

Even though stress is a common part of our modern lifestyles, chronic stress doesn’t have to have the upper hand. There are holistic approaches to dealing with these common stressors that anyone can utilize if they know how.

Over the last several months, the Herbal Academy team has been working behind the scenes on a secret project that fulfills a common request from our community, and we’re ready to pull the curtain back so you can check it out!

Here’s What You’ll Learn In This Course

The Herbal Self-Care for Stress Management Course is divided into three units with the following information.

Unit 1: What Is Stress?

In this unit, you will learn how to take a holistic approach to stress management. This includes what it means to be “well” in the first place, what happens during the stress response, and how chronic stress affects the body. You’ll also learn what causes stress and the physical and emotional symptoms that result from it. Is “adrenal fatigue” real? This unit will answer that question for you and give you a glimpse into some traditional healing perspectives on the effects of stress, too.

Unit 2: Nutritional & Lifestyle Support for Stress

In unit two, you will learn about the body’s “second brain” and how stress and digestion are related. You will learn how the gut microbiome affects health and how probiotics, foods, and vitamin and mineral supplements can impact the stress response as well as digestive health. You will also learn how exercise and other techniques like deep breathing, meditation, massage therapy, aromatherapy, and more can help you better manage stress.

Unit 3: Herbal Support for Stress

In unit three, you will explore herbs and how they can help you with stress management. You will learn about specific herbal actions and energetics, as well as safety and dosage information for herbs from three categories: nervines, adaptogens, and sedatives. You will learn how to use these herbs yourself as well as when it’s time to see a clinical herbalist. You will learn how to make basic herbal preparations using these herbs, including a video tutorial on how to make your own tea blend!
