scrapbookbuzz Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 What are your recommendations for dealing with an adrenaline crash? I was in a minor, yet high adrenaline, producing situation today and I can tell the adrenaline is still coursing through my veins. When I eventually crash, which will probably be sometime tomorrow, what do you recommend for restoring equilibrium? Thanks in advance!

gaillardia Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I guess I'm too late but I would have suggested several different things as well as agreeing with most of what was already posted, as far as my own experience and knowledge in agreement. Not that anyone else is incorrect. I've used Rescue Remedy. If I had an herb store nearby I'd see about getting passionflower tea, anything that would be more of a relaxant. Kava Kava, not in excess. Chamomile tea. Skullcap. Tansy, might smell really weird. Catnip. Tincture of lobelia, less than 5 drops. If I drank alcohol, I'm sure I'd be having a glass of wine or two. Foot massage. Lavender oil aromatherapy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbookbuzz Posted September 5, 2017 Author Share Posted September 5, 2017 Thanks, all! Willing to listen to more recs, as well! Gaillardia, nope, not too late. Was asking for today. Incident happened yesterday afternoon and adrenaline was still pumping even late last night so I'm expecting a huge crash sometime today. I do have Kava Kava and skullcap on hand. I also have a tisane blend that has passionflower IN it. I also have oat straw. This morning, I'm having a 9.5oz bottled Frappuccino to help me be awake to take a kid to class but beyond that I don't plan on having any sugar or caffeine. Jean, yes, I planned on drinking lots of water. Hoping I don't need to go anywhere today besides this ONE taxi-ing trip. It's too hot outside, anyway!

scrapbookbuzz Posted September 5, 2017 Author Share Posted September 5, 2017 Well, the crash has hit! So now I'm going to go cuddle with my tabby cat and maybe take a nap! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 tumeric, ginger, adaptogens and b vitamins. Go to sleep! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbookbuzz Posted September 5, 2017 Author Share Posted September 5, 2017 Well, I went up to my room and watched a few minutes of Netflix. Then I crawled under the covers and went to sleep - for about the next 2.5 hours! Thankful I can do that and thankful I have kids old enough to take care of themselves during that time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrapbookbuzz Posted September 5, 2017 Author Share Posted September 5, 2017 I do feel okay, but just okay. Been vegging most of the day. Still a bit tired. A friend and sister herbalist is bringing over an herbal remedy later. At least my mind has stopped hyperfocusing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbookbuzz Posted September 6, 2017 Author Share Posted September 6, 2017 A dear, sweet local herbalist just brought me a Nerve Ease tincture blend containing: Passiflora Milky Oats and Pulsatilla I just put 10 drops in a shot glass-worth of apple juice and chugged it down. We'll see what happens! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbookbuzz Posted September 6, 2017 Author Share Posted September 6, 2017 It definitely helped! Especially with stopping the thought "loop." I'll be taking another dose here shortly as I had to relive the whole thing over again while talking with the insurance company a few minutes ago! Thank God for herbal remedies! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbookbuzz Posted September 6, 2017 Author Share Posted September 6, 2017 Have another question for you: my friend tweaked her back this weekend and is in a lot of pain. She isn't really sure what she did to it. So far she's been to the ER or Urgent Care and they gave her some steroids to help, which according to her, are only helping somewhat. What herbs would you recommend for a woman in her late 40s who thinks she may have pinched a nerve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaillardia Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 I trust the herbal legacy people and especially the teachings of Dr. John Christopher. Their products or my own throw-it-together using same ingredients for various body issues has helped me immensely over the years. You can google herbal legacy. But for a pinched nerve, I agree about using a chiropractor, a come and go as you please type not the ones who want you to sign a contract. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbookbuzz Posted September 7, 2017 Author Share Posted September 7, 2017 And again. I may have asked this before but don't remember. What do you recommend to help with anxiety? For a 40-something female. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caedmyn Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 (edited) I find GABA helpful for anxiety. (Not a herb, I know). Sedative herbs might help if you really want a herb...such as passionflower or California poppy in tincture form.

desertstrawberry5 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Valerian and chamomile for anxiety. And b6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
