Are you feeling taxed? Anxious? Stretched to your limits?

Marisela was.

"I used to live far away from work and had to sit in traffic for 40-45 min on my way home," recalls Marisela. But that's not all she was dealing with . . . "My boyfriend and I lived together. He was laid off from work and unemployed for some time. Financial worries are the worst!"

Does this sound familiar? We all hit times when we feel like we have no breathing room. Whether it's due to family . . . finances . . . work . . . or all of the above . . .

When stress hits, it hits hard.

Yet Marisela didn't let this pressure-cooker period in her life get the most of her. She found support in the Asian root, eleuthero.

As Marisela describes, eleuthero gave her energy to get through chores at home after work. And it gave her a calm alertness when money was tight. This helped her keep on top of things - without blowing her top.

Eleuthero may be the best botanical "prescription" for these anxiety-ridden times. With a world that refuses to slow down . . . an economy that refuses to get moving . . . and all the challenges of marriage, family and life squeezed in between, we're all feeling like we're on the edge.

Into this vicious swirl of pressures and worries, comes what ancient healers called The Root of Life, eleuthero, to offer some support.

Eleuthero has been tested in some of the most extreme situations . . .
- Eleuthero became a central part of the former Soviet Union's space program. On their first orbit of the earth, Soviet astronauts toasted their success with an eleuthero drink.
- Soviet explorers, sailors on stormy seas, miners deep under the earth, soldiers, truck drivers and factory workers all turned to this revitalizing root to keep them going in rough work conditions.
- In study after study, researchers reported eleuthero helped participants stay calm and perform at their best under pressure.

But one study from the journal Stress and Health demonstrates in particular how eleuthero physically changes how you react to stress.

Researchers put a group of healthy young men and women through a stressful mental test. Everyone in the group showed the normal response to stress - increased heart rate and blood pressure.

Then they divided the group in half. One group took eleuthero for 30 days. And the other group took a placebo.

When they repeated the test, everyone's heart rate and blood pressure increased, as expected. However, without exception, the group that had taken eleuthero showed a 40% reduction in heart rate increase. The women who took eleuthero also showed a 60% reduction in systolic blood pressure increase.

Their hearts still reacted to stress. But not as dramatically as before they had taken eleuthero.

This is significant. On the outside, people like Marisela, who try eleuthero are amazed at how much better they weather tough times with this special root. But now we know that this is not just a matter of perception. On the inside, eleuthero seems to help your body adjust to stress better.

Some researchers speculate that eleuthero's special molecules, called eleutherosides, mimic stress hormones, taking a burden off your body to produce these resource-intensive chemicals when you're under the gun

.In addition, these researchers also point out that eleuthero has compounds in it that are similar to the chemical signals your body uses to turn your stress response off.

By speedily removing stress hormones from your bloodstream, your body can relax and recuperate much more quickly.

To put it simply, it seems eleuthero makes stress less stressful on your body.

One herb won't transform your life.

The best way to minimize the impact of stress on your life is to use a multipronged strategy:

1. Problem solve. Figure out how you can get rid of the source of tension in your life by making changes and taking action.


2. Make physical relaxation part of your routine. Exercising regularly is one of the best ways to help your body release the physical effects of stress while at the same time increasing your threshold and tolerance of stress. Meditation, taking a walk, listening to music can also help your body calm down.

3. Nourish your body and get your rest. These are the basics but they never fail to factor into how you get through a tough day. Eat good food. And make sure your body gets the recharging sleep you need.And finally, to strengthen your body, help you address problems with a clear head, and minimize the impact of stress on your health . . .

4. Try adding some eleuthero to your day. Taken as a tablet or as a tea, eleuthero offers a healthy, safe way to bolster your body when stress calls. And - just so you don't have one more thing to worry about - eleuthero can be safely taken over the long term.

Don't let life tax you. Reclaim your energy and will power and turn a challenging time into just another feather in your cap when it comes to experience and wisdom. With some strategy and eleuthero, you can get through this. You can turn those ominous mountains into manageable molehills.
