The weeks arfter giving birth I was rather run down and also quite stressed out as well and so I went back to using Ginseng as it had helped me previously when I had been sufferring from stress, once when an injury could have threatened by career and another time following the death of a very close relative, both involved very different emotions but both bought about a certain amount of lethargy and a run down feeling.

Ginseng can be taken in a number of forms such as powder or tablet, I always buy Ginseng tablets from Natures Best a mail order company as they are easy to take and also good value. You can also get Ginseng tea which I have also used and is very good for destressing you, certainly it works really well for me as it gives me a relaxed feeling when I drink it, partly I guess because of the contents but also because having a cuppa is quite a calming experience anyway.

I also find that Ginseng can give me more energy and it certainly gives my body a boost especially when I feel run down, whether or not it is more a case of mind over matter you can never be sure but if it works then I'm not complaining.

As with any supplement you should seek medical advice before taking it especially if you are on any other medications.
