Nature's Stress Reliever

Back pain caused by tension and stress can be eased with valerian root (Valeriana officianalis), which blocks the transmission of stress from the brain to the body. Some people get a backache during stressful periods. The smartest plan is to start using valerian root at the onset of the difficult time – before the backache sets in.

Look for valerian root capsules or tablets. Follow the instructions on the product label, and use it for the duration of the stressful period.
