Many consider Valerian to be the strongest western herbal central nervous system sedative. Valerian will quiet a busy mind. It can promote sleep for those who cannot fall asleep and helps those who wake up in the middle of the night. Repeat the doses as needed within a night to facilitate sleep. The liquid is significantly faster in action compared to a tablet or capsule, which must be digested before it can be absorbed, so liquids are preferred for fastest action. It will help calm one down when going through difficult emotional and mental times or when in therapy and in turmoil. Taking Valerian during the day can make one feel tired, sedated or a little out of it. Thus, caution is advised. This can sometimes be controlled my altering the dosage. Many consider valerian to be the strongest western herbal painkiller as well. It will reduce pain in the musculo-skeletal system (i.e. muscle and joint pain from injury, accidents, work outs, surgeries). Valerian may be enough to control pain after relatively mild surgeries or dental procedures. It is also a smooth muscle relaxer for pain from menstrual cramps, digestive cramps, gall bladder and kidney stones. According to herbalists, Valerian will not remove all pain like a pharmaceutical pain killer but will instead, reduce the percent of pain recognition by 10-50%. Contrary to popular belief, Valium was not derived from Valerian. They sound alike and are used for similar conditions, but are not related. The generally acknowledged active constituent, especially for purposes of standardization, is valerenic acid. Ingredients: Phyto-Tech™ Valerian Root 1:2 contains Fresh Valerian Root, 500 mg/ml.

Product Reference Guide: Willner Chemists Phyto-Tech™ Herbal Supplements Lemon Balm Eases Pain and the Quality of Life After Childbirth D uring their lifespan, cells divide and replicate a limited number of times. The limiting factor is telomeres, the protective material at the end of each strand of chromosomes that help maintain genetic integrity. Each division shortens telomeres, eventually leaving chromosomes unprotected, unable to reproduce properly. Longer telomeres suggest a younger biological age. Earlier studies found telomeres are susceptible to oxidative stress and inflammation. In this study, doctors measured white blood cell telomere length in 3,194 men and women, aged at least 45, and found those that got the most selenium had longer telomeres compared to those who got the least. Each 20 mcg increase in daily selenium corresponded to 0.42 percent longer telomeres. Discussing the findings, doctors said selenium has proteins and enzymes with strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, which is what led them to explore a connection to telomere length.

Lemon balm has sedative and anti-spasmodic properties. In this study, 110 women began taking the NSAID medication mefenamic acid or 395 mg of pure lemon balm extract after delivery, repeating each six hours during the first 24 hours. There were no significant differences in pain intensity between the two groups after the first dose, but after the third and fourth doses, those taking lemon balm reported lower pain symptom severity scores. Overall, pain symptom scores decreased in both groups, but decreased more for lemon balm, with average pain severity less for lemon balm at all times after delivery. Discussing the findings, doctors said lemon balm was superior to mefenamic acid in reducing the severity of pain post-delivery and eliminated the need for pharmaceutical pain relievers.
