Cortisol, the stress hormone, is released when you have a lot going on. Even with the most supportive team, a bride can still experience some stress leading up to her wedding. Awareness is key, so it doesn’t negatively impact your health!

When cortisol increases, so does estrogen, which can lead to anxiety, nervousness, and irritability. It can also slow down your metabolism, throw off your period, and decrease your immune system. The good news is that there are natural ways to help your body adapt to stress, such as exercise, vitamins, minerals, and botanical medicine. Some of my favorite botanical teas, that can promote relaxation, include include aswagandha, schisandra, chamomile, passion flower, and holy basil.
