Hello dear ladies!

Tell me, please, how are things going with all kinds of stress? Do you sometimes feel nervous – at work, at home? And are there various reasons for anxiety? And then, after all this stress and anxiety, it’s hard to fall asleep, and everything falls out of your hands for a while, and you can’t come to your senses?

It’s a well-known fact, now everyone, or almost all of us, have such a life that constant calm and serenity are hardly possible in principle. Many see a solution in the use of sedatives. However, this is not the most pleasant and, most importantly, not the safest way out.

Firstly, any medical supplies have a lot of side effects. As a result, it is not always clear what we will get more from this or that medicine - benefit or harm. And secondly, sedatives, like some others, can be addictive, which not only reduces their effectiveness over time, but can also be very dangerous, since the person taking them may develop an addiction, which is not always possible to quickly and easily cope with.

What to do if your nerves are frayed, insomnia is on the horizon, but you don’t want to take sedatives? For many in such situations, therapeutic treatment helps very well.

• After this, strain the infusion and drink in small sips.
• To achieve lasting therapeutic effect drink this 1 - 2 times a day, half a glass, for 2 - 3 weeks.

I must warn you that medicinal motherwort tea does not work immediately, but it does not have harmful side effects, and it helps get rid of nervousness and insomnia quite well.

In addition, many beautiful ladies V certain moments in their lives (some time before the onset of menstruation, during menopause) they often encounter such unpleasant phenomena as increased nervous excitability, anxiety, tearfulness, rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, and insomnia. It even happens that there seems to be no reason for all this, at least externally, and life becomes very complicated. In fact, of course, there are reasons, they are just hidden inside our own body.

In such cases, motherwort tea prepared according to the following recipe helps well.

2. 1.5 parts St. John's wort, 0.5 parts valerian,
3. 1 part lemon balm leaves and 1 part dried hawthorn flowers.
