Autonomis helps you detoxify from stress.
Short term stress activates the fight/flight part of your nervous system. And suppresses the rest, repair and digest functions. Chronic stress shifts your body from cortisol to prolactin, which is the neurochemistry of learned helplessness and despair. This affects sleep, body repairs, digestion and moods. A measured reaction to challenges creates better health.
Sleep Apnea
Every night we build the neurochemical resistance we need for the stresses of following day. If we are overly stressed, this hyperactives our sympathetic nervous system (fight/flight/freeze). When trying to sleep at night, there may not be enough sympathetic tone to keep the airway open. One can get sleep apnea that ruins sleep. Resulting in not building enough neurochemical resistance for the following day. This can lead to a vicious cycle. Stress, bad sleep, worse stress, worse sleep.
Adaptogens
Certain adaptogens help a more relaxed response to stress. Breaking the vicious cycle. Not all adaptogens are useful in this way. Some are stimulants (like ginseng). Autonomis may support the body in breaking out of the stress cycle.
