Herbal Remedies for Mental Health

We live in a very faced paced and often, all too stressful world.  Anxiety, tension, stress, trouble falling asleep and staying asleep are all too commonplace.  People often reach for that extra glass of wine or prescribed medication to ease these symptoms but there is another way.  

Whilst nervine tonics are not the same as the sorts of medication you would get from your doctor, they can not only be just as effective in supporting your mental health and well being but are much gentler on your body.  They work in very different ways and work with your body, nourishing your system, helping to bring your body back into balance, in a similar way that healthy foods can help kickstart a sluggish digestive system.  Nervine tonics can help restore depleted, stressed, or anxious nervous systems.

When we’re stressed, anxious and sleep deprived it can affect everything from our ability to focus and concentrate to causing problems with our digestive system causing bloating, constipation and diarrhea.  Our immune systems suffer making us more prone to catching bugs and viruses not to mention lowering our resilience to cope with daily life, we’ve all been there where we’re really stressed and anxious, maybe not had the best nights sleep and something relatively minor happens and we lose it.

Nervine tonics can be great for getting us through these times and for helping to keep us in balance without the ‘hangover’ effects of prescribed medication such as sleeping pills or some anti-anxiety medication not to mention the sluggish, brain fog that comes with that extra glass of wine to help us ‘relax’.
