Passion Flower
Passiflora Incarnata, or passion flower, is a well known anxiolytic and mild sedative. Similar to Valerian, it targets the central nervous system to help temporarily relieve some of the symptoms associated with anxiety. In clinical study, Passion Flower is usually combined with complementary herbs like Valerian or Kava Kava, helping to improve mood and assisting in relieving some of the withdrawal symptoms the occur as a result of discontinuing the use of prescription drugs like Oxazepam.
Rhodiola Rosea
Rhodiola Rosea, also known by its common name Golden Root, has been used in Europe and the United States for helping to improve emotional wellness and reduce mental fatigue. Clinical studies suggest that rosavins, the active constituents in Rhodiola Rosea, effect the central nervous system by increasing the ability to concentrate, improving mental performance and reducing physical fatigue. As an adaptogen, Rhodiola rosea may help the body to increase resistance to a variety of chemical, biological and physical stressors.
Kava Kava
Kava Kava is one of the most well know natural sedatives in the world. It has been used for centuries in the Polynesian islands of the Pacific and made its way to the America in the last century. Users of the root, in both, supplemental and liquid extract form, report intense feelings of relaxation and calmness as a result of taking Kava on a daily basis. Clinical studies using the Hamilton Anxiety Ratings Scale as a measurement confirm Kava’s superiority to placebo, demonstrating that Kava can help to significantly reduce mild anxiety, stress and restlessness
Winter Cherry
Winter Cherry, also known as Ashwagandha root, is one of the most prominent herbal medicines used in the Indian holistic system of medicine known as Ayurveda. Along with its immunomodulatory effects, winter cherry’s traditional effects have been confirmed in laboratory settings.
