An Overstimulated Immune System can Lead to Chronic Inflammation

We are walking time bombs. The world we live in today causes a high amount of stress in our everyday lives. This constant stress leads to an overproduction and constant release of cortisol, the stress hormone. When cortisol is released it triggers the fight or flight response. Our brains can’t decipher between being hunted by a lion or meeting a deadline. It just knows it must respond. This response in turn triggers the immune response which increases our inflammation. What does this all mean? It means that a prolonged amount of stress can lead to a higher risk of chronic illness. We have herbal infusions, honey, teas, and tinctures to boost our immune system, help fight inflammation, reduce the risk of getting sick, and for when we do get sick.
