Description: Some people will use stress and anxiety interchangeably, but stress and anxiety are not the same, there are some distinct differences between the two. Why does is matter? One reason is because there’s an herbal remedy that’s gaining a lot of attention that works for stress but not so much for anxiety. In this video I discuss the difference between stress and anxiety and how they overlap. I also talk about how the herb Ashwaganda may help your anxiety.
