How can an herb (GP Herb®) relieve stress?
The stress caused by various strong environmental and psychological stimuli creates stress syndrome by which the equilibrium of the central nervous system is disturbed. This disturbance of the central nervous system upsets the normal regulation on the endocrine glands effecting all the various systems and organs of the body. This disturbance eventually affects the equilibrium and the interior stability (homeostasis) of the entire organism. Human and animal testing has proven GP Herb®/Gypenosides to be a highly effective adaptogenic tonic. Exerting a bi-phasic action on the central nervous system, calming the nerves when they were irritated, while exciting the nerves when they were depressed. Through adjusting the balance of the central nervous system (including the brain) the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems and toning the endocrine system, it maintains and normalizes the functional equilibrium between the organs and the stability of the organism, hence relieving stress.
