Nowadays, people’s lifestyle is becoming more and more hectic. Stress becomes a familiar term for everyone. It is used to imply the body’s response which is non-specific toward changes of life demands. Changes in life demands happen due to "traffic jam". It means everything in your life now is moving fast, under a lot of pressure and burdened with many responsibilities.

Few people can ride on top of the stressful tides; however, majority of people are drown under the stress. Being under stress for a long time can affect severely to both of your physical and mental strength. Such problems as high level of blood pressure which can lead to other heart disease, depression and anxiety which can lead to obesity can occur to you as well as you will gradually feel less and less joyful with your daily life.

Symptoms:
-- Feel anxiety as well as restless.
-- No motivation to do anything.
-- Always feel irritability.
-- Occasionally bring out unnecessary anger.
-- Your mood is taken over by depression and sadness.
-- Gradually withdraw from social activities.

Chamomile:
This is a soothing tea with a taste somewhat reminiscent of apples. It is generally considered safe enough for children, though you should always consult your pediatrician before giving children under 14 an herbal preparation.

Jasmine:
Of all the herbs I’ll mention here, jasmine is the strongest. In fact, it is the strongest sedative on the "safe" list. If you’ve ever had tea at a Chinese restaurant, you have probably had a combination of jasmine and some form of black or green tea. Because it is stronger than the other herbs, it might be wise not to let anyone under 18 use it unless directed by a health care provider.

Passionflower:
This herb is between chamomile and jasmine in strength. The leaves, flowers and stems can be used. I prefer the flower, as it smells and tastes better. Like jasmine, it can act as a sedative.

Lavender:
People who use aromatherapy love lavender. The scent is thought to both soothe and relax. Having used it for that purpose, I agree. The flowers and leaves can also be used in a tea that may help relax.

Chamomile Tea:
It can sedate the nervous system with its soothing and calm properties. Use chamomile tea can make your muscles relax, prevent anxiety as well as promote quality sleep.
-- Take 2 teaspoon of dried flowers into 1 glass of hot water. After 10 minutes, have it strained and put in some honey depended on your preference. Consume maximum of 4 cups per day.
-- Put some fresh flowers together with some essential oil into a warm bath.
-- Take chamomile supplementary pills after consulting the doctor.
