Plus Natural Ways to Support Yourself with Lotus Pēs
In today’s fast-paced world, stress has become a constant companion — but what many don’t realise is how deeply it can impact your physical health. From fatigue and breakouts to digestive issues and flare-ups in chronic conditions like PCOS, eczema, lupus or thyroid disease, stress is more than just a mental burden — it’s a physiological disruptor.
What Stress Really Does to Your Body
When you’re under ongoing stress, your body activates the “fight or flight” response — flooding your system with cortisol and adrenaline. While helpful in short bursts, chronic stress causes:
- Suppressed immune function
- Hormonal imbalance
- Gut microbiome disruption
- Increased inflammation
- Poor sleep and low energy
- Worsening of auto-immune conditions
For people living with conditions like autoimmune diseases (e.g. lupus, Hashimoto’s, eczema) or hormonal disorders (like PCOS or endometriosis), unmanaged stress can trigger more frequent flare-ups, delays in healing and a weakened immune defence.
How to Naturally Support Your Body Through Stress
True healing starts from within — and the good news is that the body responds well to consistent, gentle support. Whether you’re navigating chronic stress, recovering from illness or managing a long-term condition, here are holistic ways to help your body reset:
1. Support Your Adrenal and Nervous System
Chronic stress = adrenal burnout. When your nervous system is always on edge, it depletes energy, destabilises hormones and reduces resilience.
Recommended product:
Ashwagandha Tincture – A powerful adaptogen that helps reduce cortisol levels, calm anxiety, and support restful sleep without sedating the body.
Pair it with:
Silent Night Tincture or Silent Night Sea Moss Gel for deeper relaxation and improved sleep.
2. Restore Mineral Balance and Immune Function
Mineral depletion is common during stress or auto-immune flares. Sea moss is rich in over 90 minerals that help the body recover and strengthen natural immunity.
Recommended product:
Sea Moss Gel (Gold or Blue Spirulina) – Helps support thyroid health, skin, energy and immune regulation
Sea Moss Drops – Ideal for those on the go or struggling with nutrient absorption
3. Improve Gut Health and Inflammation
The gut and brain are directly connected. When the gut is inflamed or imbalanced, it worsens mood, weakens immunity and increases auto-immune responses.
Recommended product:
Gut Correct Tincture – Soothes the gut lining, improves digestion and supports detox
Liquid Chlorophyll – A natural internal cleanser that improves oxygenation, supports liver detox and reduces body stress
4. Support Hormones and Emotional Balance
Chronic stress can disrupt the menstrual cycle, fertility, and emotional wellbeing. Natural herbs can gently nudge your hormones back into flow.
Recommended product:
Glow Tincture – Uplifts mood, clears hormonal acne and improves focus
Womb Wellness Tincture, Hormone Harmony Tincture, Bee Balanced Herbal Electuary – For those managing PCOS, fibroids or hormonal chaos worsened by stress
5. Build a Consistent Self-Care Ritual
Your body loves routine. Drinking your tea each morning, taking your tinctures daily and choosing gentle movement over burnout — all make a difference.
Suggested Ritual
Morning:
- 1 full dropper of Ashwagandha or Glow Tincture
- 1 tbsp Sea Moss Gel
- 1 glass of water with Liquid Chlorophyll
- Sip on Glow Tea or Wellness Tea throughout the day
Evening:
- 1–2 tsp Silent Night Gel or a warm cup of Silent Night Tea
- Mindful breathing, light stretching or journaling
