What Supplements Lower Cortisol and Reduce Stress?

Stress is a human experience, but it is our physical reaction to it that dictates everything. Stress, when a prolonged condition or improperly resolved, can have adverse health consequences, e.g. by increasing the concentration of cortisol. Cortisol is known as the "stress hormone" and despite the physiological importance of cortisol, chronically elevated cortisol is associated with a wide number of deleterious effects, including anxiety, obesity, sleep problem and immune dysfunction.

In fact, from all the types of supplements, it is possible to mix also to restore the homeostasis of cortisol and the stress, not only on a physical level, but on an emotional level, as a way to cope with the physical and emotional load of everyday stressors. In this article, we’ll explore some of the most effective supplements known to reduce cortisol and promote relaxation.

Understanding Cortisol and Stress

It is now important to characterize what cortisol is and how cortisol works in the body. Cortisol is an adrenal gland hormone secreted during a stress response as part of the body's "fight or flight" response. When exposed to a physiological or psychomotor stress, the body is activated by the release of the stress hormone cortisol and by its preparation to respond to the stress. This is done by elevating heart rate, blood pressure, and blood glucose.

Yet, if cortisol is chronically elevated (i.e. due to prolonged chronic stress), several of the following health conditions can result:

Weight Gain: Especially around the abdomen.

Sleep Disruptions: Cortisol controls the sleep-arousal cycle and exacerbates insomnia.

Compromised immune system:  Associated chronic stress has been reported to suppress immune response and thereby elevate the risk of infection.

Digestive Disorders: Cortisol may aberrantly regulate the digestion and this can produce symptoms, i.e. bloating or constipation.

Mood Disorders: Elevated cortisol levels correlate with anxiety and depression.

The only counter to those effects is to keep cortisol at bay, in order to return to the highest possible degree of equilibrium and serenity.

TULSI KANTHI MALA

With great spiritual and cultural significance, the Tulsi Kanthi Mala is a sacred necklace crafted from the wood of the Tulsi plant (Ocimum sanctum) in Hinduism. Loved for both its therapeutic and spiritual qualities, Tulsi is thought to be the earthly embodiment of the goddess Tulsi, who was Lord Vishnu's beloved companion.

Many benefits, such as spiritual protection, physical and mental purification, and increased devotion, are said to come from wearing a Tulsi Kanthi Mala.

The mala typically consists of 108 beads, symbolizing the 108 Upanishads, although variations exist. These beads are intricately strung together, often with a larger bead known as the "Meru" bead, signifying the start and end of the mala.

Apart from its spiritual significance, Tulsi Kanthi Mala is believed to have healing properties. Tulsi is renowned for its antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory qualities, which can contribute to overall health and well-being. The Tulsi Kanthi Mala is essentially more than simply a piece of jewellery; it represents faith, dedication, and the enduring bond between the wearer and the holy.
