Q: My mother is going through a stressful time and would like to try something to help alleviate her stress and anxiety. She is already taking quite a few medications and I am concerned about drug interactions. Is there anything she can try?
A: D-STRESS by New Roots Herbal is an encapsulated form of lavender essential oil that can help relieve symptoms of mental stress, agitation, and exhaustion while promoting relaxation and restful sleep. Because it is not metabolized by cytochrome P450, an enzyme system that is involved in the metabolism of many medications, there is very little risk of drug interactions.
