Controlled emotional sensitivity is a very important factor for feeling good on a daily basis. Many plants can help with their soothing and relaxing properties.
Blushing in public, experiencing cold sweats running down the spine: these are examples of reactions to overly strong emotions that the body expresses. Thus, emotional sensitivity is a natural manifestation of an individual's personality when faced with a stressful situation (from their perspective).
Everyone is more or less emotional. The opposite of being emotional is Mr. Spock, you know, the Star Trek hero who never shows any emotion and even in the face of danger or intense stress, always manages to maintain rational thinking. However, this hero is not very likable because he's almost a human robot.
So, our emotions need to come out because they are one of the principles that make us human. An emotion makes us fully human.
Emotion arises because the person interacts with their environment. It is due to an influence that can be either external or internal. Each person has a certain degree of emotional sensitivity, which can change depending on the threshold of excitability. It's worth noting that there are many stimuli that can trigger emotional responses: thoughts, circumstances, as well as relational contexts.
Various sensory perceptions, such as crying, laughing, or enjoying performances, can be real sources of well-being. Sensitivity can change over time or can be controlled by the individual, depending on the situations encountered.
The major concern related to emotional sensitivity is what we call hyperemotivity. This is characterized by different outward manifestations of behavior such as stuttering and trembling. These can represent a real handicap, especially if the person allows themselves to be overwhelmed by emotions while trying to suppress them.
What are the different causes of emotional sensitivity?
There are many causes of emotional sensitivity. These vary from person to person. The doctor must often check the major sources of emotional sensitivity, solely to see if the different outward signs are not triggered by other problems.
This could, for example, be hyperthyroidism or heart rhythm problems. The importance of the manifestation of emotional sensitivity must also be evaluated to characterize and define its major cause. In many cases, this psychological problem is directly related to a poor work situation or a troubled personal life.
Stress is also a known cause of emotional sensitivity. The therapist will assess its impact and consequences on the person's social life. Furthermore, it should be noted that hyperemotivity must be treated at its earliest manifestations to prevent complications.
It's worth mentioning that the most harmful form of this psychological disorder is social phobia, which requires specific psychological analysis, such as psychotherapy, among others.
What are the disorders associated with emotional sensitivity?
Disorders associated with emotional sensitivity manifest in various forms: blushing or sudden paleness, sweating, trembling, etc.
And these disorders naturally vary according to the individual's character.
Thus, in extroverted individuals, the onset of emotion is characterized by extremely rapid and rather excited speech. The person's body tends to move abnormally, with involuntary trembling. It should also be noted that introverted individuals, when affected by emotional sensitivity, often have great difficulty expressing themselves properly.
Regardless of the case, individuals affected by this issue share common traits, such as difficultly controlling reactivity, emotional distress, or a blatant lack of confidence or assertiveness. Moreover, physical symptoms can also occur, such as trembling, excessive sweating, high heart rate, or facial flushing. In more complicated cases, hyperemotivity may be directly related to an imbalance in blood pressure or linked to a heart rhythm problem.
Opt for herbal treatment!
Issues of emotional sensitivity can be treated with various types of medicinal plants, which have different relaxing effects. First of all, let's mention lemon balm and hawthorn. These are very good natural remedies for dealing with emotional sensitivity. This is due to their sedative properties. These plants with numerous medicinal benefits have positive effects on heart rhythm problems by alleviating palpitations and spasms.
There are two other plants that help regulate emotional character. These are valerian and passionflower. The former is rich in iridoids and valerenic acids, which allow it to have an effect on calming an agitated heart and aiding in falling asleep. The body can then recharge during the entire sleep cycle, without any undesirable side effects.
Then, there is passionflower. This plant contains specific alkaloids and flavonoids known for their relaxing properties. It's worth noting that this soothing plant, like valerian, can optimize the falling asleep phase and achieve better deep sleep, again without the undesirable effects of a sleeping pill. As they say in Lyon, "it doesn't knock you out".
Whether it's lemon balm, passionflower, hawthorn, or valerian, we recommend taking them in liquid form as a Whole Plant Suspension.
