The feelings of tension, restlessness, anxiety and irritability are so common that one wonders how it would be to live without them, in a free and relaxed way. We are constantly exposed to various pressures, lack of understanding in the work environment and in the family, conflicts that we wish to avoid, losses and crises. Fear, tiredness, insomnia, sweating, concentration loss, heart and digestion problems may make our life a very unsafe harbour.

People have always strived to attain the feeling of calm, relaxation and happiness, so early in history they discovered plants that could help. Valerian is, for a good reason, very popular. It soothes nervousness and tension, relieves stomach and intestinal cramps, helps with poor concentration and memory, as well as with increased sweating and high heart rate. It helps falling a sleep as well as prevents waking up during night. That effect has been confirmed in numerous studies. Valerian relieves tiredness and psychological exhaustion; it, simply, rebalances our nervous system.

Hops, a well known plant, also has a sedative effect during daytime and promotes a deeper and longer sleep at night.  Lemon balm additionally reduces irritability and restlessness, which makes it a good companion to valerian and hops.

A great advantage of these three plants is that they may be consumed without developing addiction, so that they can be taken for longer periods, by men and women, young and old. Studies that compared their effect with that of some synthetic sedatives showed that in milder conditions a combination of these three plants has the best result.
