The most effective way of dealing with stress is identification of the cause and addressing it. At times, this may require some adjustments in lifestyle and then everything else falls in place. Sometimes you can try meditation, exercises, yoga, tai chi and controlled breathing in dealing with stressful happenings. This is not something that can be picked by a medical scan or a laboratory test. It is on the mind. That is why the modalities employed in its management should be carefully thought about.
Before using herbal supplements, one should understand that the content and quality varies widely.

Its effectiveness can be enhanced when taken with another type of supplement that helps keep stress hormone level at healthy levels.
