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 Lutein, Zeaxanthin During Pregnancy Boost Vision in Offspring at Age Three I n this study, 134 participants with knee, lower back, and shoulder pain from osteoarthritis (OA), aged 50 to 80, overweight or obese, and sedentary, took a placebo; 160 mg of curcumin alone; 2,000 mg of DHA plus 400 mg of EPA, or curcumin plus DHA/EPA together. After 16 weeks, those taking omega-3 fish oil had reduced OA-specific pain compared to placebo or curcumin. Flexibility and elasticity of the smallest vessels also improved, increasing blood flow. The fish oil group saw pain scores decrease 42 percent, and improvements in the ability to exercise, climb stairs, and in joint strength and sleep quality. Better overall mood and a sense of total health accompanied these physical improvements. Doctors believe fish oil improved blood supply to oxygen-deprived tissues, restoring nutrients to affected joints and reducing pain.

In this study, doctors measured lutein and zeaxanthin levels during pregnancy, and at delivery, then followed up with the children at age three. Kids whose mothers had higher levels of either lutein or zeaxanthin during pregnancy were 37 to 38 percent less likely to have poor visual acuity at age three compared to kids whose mothers had lower levels of these two carotenoids. The results remained significant even after doctors adjusted for whether mothers breastfed their babies, or differences in the children’s diets of fruits and vegetables.
