OT - Does Stress Damage the Brain?

[Guest guest]

Does stress damage the brain? Well, not exactly damage to the brain

but damage to the pituitary gland.

 

The pituitary gland, also called hypophysis, is located at the base

of the brain, and is an essential component of the endocrine system.

The gland is attached to the hypothalamus and secretes hormones such

as antidiuretic hormone, oxytocin, and prolactin. It controls growth,

blood pressure, and sex organs.

 

According to a report by researchers in Osaka University, they found

that pituitary gland would be damaged or become like a sponge cake if

severe work or stress-related pressure is imposed. To heal such

damages, a lot of rest and good diet is required for several days or

even months.

 

As we know, damages to pituitary gland means damages to internal

organs as well.

 

On TV, radio, and newspapers, daily topics are death from overwork.

Does stress damage the brain tissue? Yes, they do. Damages to

pituitary gland and other parts of the brain will send incorrect

signals to the internal organs. Incorrect signals or wrong decision

of the brain will take place committing suicide or sudden death. We

call this the " modern sickness of the century " .

 

The pituitary gland maintains the function of the internal organs. We

understand that some kinds of overwork or worries that are considered

stress cause damage directly to the pituitary gland.

 

Now, you can simply believe that stress is the major cause of all

maladies we suffer.

 

To reduce troubles with your health, you'll have to reduce your

stress. But is this the only way? Of course, we know that many

factors are involved to maintain good health. Diet, exercise,

environment, and other uncountable number of reasons contribute in

maintaining good health. We can think of major things to do daily,

like good diet, exercise, reasonable working hours, picnic or

vacation to rural areas during the weekends, etc. However, it is very

hard to follow all of these because of hardship in living especially

in this time of world economy crises. Are they the only way to reduce

stress? Maybe we can think of something like Yoga, Zen exercise, hot

spa, herbal tea ceremony, and praying to God, to prevent contracting

diseases or maladies. Yes, these daily acts reduce evil thoughts.

I welcome this topic!? Stress damages a lot more than the pituitary gland.? I

would like to recommend the book Adaptogens--Herbs for Strength, Stamina, and

Stess Relief by David Winston (available at Amazon).? Adaptogens are herbs that

help strengthen and rebuild a weakened body system.? David is a well respected

herbalist.? Most of the herbs mentioned are Ayurvedic or Chinese ones.??

Scientific references are included.??I cannot say enough about this book.??

Also, his formulations are excellent. We are using his Adrenal and his Focus

formulas.

 

Another book I would like to recommend is Ayurvedic Herbs--A Clinical Guide to

the Healing Plants of Traditional Medicine by M.S. Premila, Ph.D.? This does not

focus on stress, but is an excellent book which explains in a scientific way

(with references) how the herbs ?work.? Dr. Premela was responsible for

development of Ayuredic?herbs for SPIC Pharmaceuticals.

 

I love this list--thanks Dr. Bhate and others.???

What I found interesting about this topic is that while being tested for our

need for Magnesium, with an initial need rating of +19, once the pituitary

gland received some healing energy from the AVR (Autonomic Vascular

Response) practitioner we were visiting, the need for Magnesium reduced to

+2 in both subjects. This was her experience, that once the pituitary gland

received direct healing energy, both the stress and the need for magnesium

was dramatically reduced.
