The
Nervous System Protocols The nervous system affects virtually every operation performed by the body from the movement of skeletal and smooth muscle, to regulating heart rate. The nervous system interacts closely with the endocrine system. The chronic over stimulation of these two systems leads to the symptoms of stress. The nervous system provides a direct interface between the internal and external environments. Herbal practitioners use the close relationship and interplay of the nervous and endocrine systems when dealing with nerve-related conditions. Stress: The modern western lifestyle is loaded with stressors, ranging from noxious pollutants and heavy traffic, to an overly heavy workload and screaming children. Our bodies react to these stressors in exactly the same way as those of our distant ancestors when faced with a serious life threatening situation. Our sympathetic nervous system is continuously stimulated, raising blood pressure, shutting down our digestive system and leading to the constant release of adrenaline from the adrenal glands. This long term over stimulation gives rise to problems as the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis (the body’s stress coping mechanism) begins to fail. Symptoms and Signs of Chronic Stress: - Change in sleep pattern - Irritability, short temper, listlessness or boredom - Digestive problems; lack of, or increase in appetite - Lack of concentration Aims of Herbal Support Therapies: - To provide support to the adrenal glands, pituitary and hypothalamus The Stressless Protocol:
