When we are stressed, adrenaline and cortisol flood the body: our blood pressure, respiration and heart rate increase. Glucose is then released into the bloodstream for ready energy. Digestion, growth, reproduction and immune system functions are suppressed or put on hold when we feel tense and anxious and blood flow to the skin decreases while pain tolerance is increased. Vetiver reduces stress and releasing stress positively impacts the brain, heart, digestion, immune system and all other systems of the body.
