Stress and fatigue are treatable, but it's often not as simple as taking an analgesic for a headache or an antihistamine for hayfever. Instead, treating symptoms of stress and fatigue usually involves reviewing the sufferer's daily routine and lifestyle habits. There are also OTC products that can treat the symptoms of daily fatigue (e.g. Pharmaton Capsules) and herbal remedies that may be useful for customers suffering from stress (e.g. Kalms Tablets, Potter's Newrelax or Quiet Life Tablets).

Herbal products can also be effective for treating temporary insomnia (e.g. Kalms Sleep, Kalms Night One-A-Night, Nytol Herbal Tablets, Potter's Nodoff Mixture or Potter's Nodoff Tablets). The Bach Flower Remedies range offers products for emotional situations.

Rescue Remedy is a popular combination that can be taken during periods of anxiety and stress. Essential oils can also be used to help improve mood or aid relaxation and promote sleep. For fatigue and tiredness, grapefruit, basil, rosemary and eucalyptus are effective, while lavender, pine, eucalyptus or rosemary may help to ease anxiety, worry or work related stress.
