People will often experience the migraines more when they are stressed because the state can make them more susceptible to illness and other conditions.

It's ok to be nervous. (Frankly, we would be nervous if you were taking this step lightly!) One of the best ways to deal with nervousness is to see what other patients have gone through.

Of course I occasionally feel stress (even the Dalai Lama gets worked up every once in a while).

Start with the quick checklist under the link to the right titled "Identify Your Stress Responses."

When you are tired and your brain is depressed, jiaogulan first of all excites your brain, then excites the sympathetic nervous system, which in turn stimulates the secretions of the adrenal gland and thyroid gland. By jiaogulan's effect on neuro-endocrine adjustment, the metabolism increases, thus supplying you more energy. It calms down your nerves and mental irritation when you go to bed.
