Today’s modern lifestyle is highly stressful and our society seems to be more prone than ever to the effects of stress. Scientists and doctors use the term ‘stress’ to describe anything that disturbs the stability and balance of the body or mind. There isn’t a disease or illness in the modern world that is not, in one way or another, affected, intensifi ed or triggered by stress.

Stress research has been dominated by the popular ‘fight-or-flight’ theory. However, recent studies suggest that while men tend to respond to stress by exhibiting ‘fight- or-flight’ behaviour, a woman’s response to stress is to ‘tend-and-befriend’. This involves comforting and protecting anyone affected by the stress, helping them to feel secure and supported. Natura’s homoeopathic medicines can help to rapidly restore a sense of control enabling you to cope more effectively in difficult situations.
