Cortisol, often referred to as the "stress hormone," is a vital hormone produced by the adrenal glands in response to stress. While cortisol plays a crucial role in regulating various bodily functions, including metabolism, immune response, and blood pressure, prolonged or excessive levels of cortisol due to chronic stress can have detrimental effects on health. Elevated cortisol levels have been associated with conditions such as anxiety, depression, weight gain, sleep disturbances, and impaired immune function.

Cortisol Balance herbal blend is designed specifically to assist in the reduction and management of cortisol levels. It offers a natural and holistic approach to promote calmness, resilience, and a sense of balance in the face of life's stressors.

Recommended Dosage
◉ 1-3 teaspoons of loose tea (or 3g up to 3 times) daily. If more than one herbal mixture is consumed at the same period of time, reduce the amount of tea accordingly.
◉ When herbs are used for an extended period of time, it is suggested to consume a herbal remedy with a ratio of 3 to 1. For example:
- If you choose to take it for 3 weeks, have a one-week pause.
- If it is taken for a 30-day period, have a 10-day pause.
That does not apply to herbs and fruits that have a laxative effect.

Notes
◉ Should be stored in airtight glass containers -in a cool, dark, and dry place- to preserve the flavor, texture, and properties.
◉ Before adding a new herbal remedy or supplement to your daily routine, you should consult with a medical doctor or holistic health practitioner.
