Stress and anxiety play a significant role in our modern society. Chronic levels of stress disrupt hormone patterns and can contribute to many health concerns such as inflammatory conditions, weight gain, insomnia, menstrual irregularities, fatigue, lowered immune response, anxiety attacks and depression. As part of a holistic approach to health care, it is vital to address ways in which patients cope with and adapt to stress.

Supplementation, botanical medicine, acupuncture and body therapy may also be used to treat symptoms of stress and to improve stress response.
