Sleep, Stress and Heart
Disease. Stress and lack of sleep can increase the risk of heart disease. If you
exercise well, even if it is just walking it will promote your feelings
of relaxation and help you to sleep well. You can also try meditation.
This has shown to be beneficial in stress and sleep conditions. However, sometimes you need some help especially if you just can't sleep. There is no need to resort to sleeping tablets though. To ensure a good rest for every day energy requirements as well as to
cope with stress you can try the Supreme
Sleep Formula from Mdhealthline.com. Millions of people suffer from insomnia. They toss and turn in bed and
are unable to sleep. Many others wake up frequently during the night.
That's why "sleeping pills" are the most popular drugs on the
market. A completely natural dietary supplement, Supreme
Sleep™ supports a tranquillising night's sleep. It is effective yet
free of side effects and completely non-addictive. Supreme
Sleep™ contains the herbs Valerian, Chamomile, Peppermint, Passion
Flower, Hops, Skullcap, and natural Melatonin. Valerian Root - is well known for
its relaxing and sleep-inducing effects. In fact, the drug Valium was
developed to mimic the main ingredient of the Valerian plant. Valerian
acts as a sedative, antispasmodic and diuretic. Although valerian is chemically
unrelated to Valium, it is recognized world wide for its relaxing effect
on the body. In Europe, it is often prescribed to treat anxiety. Unlike
many of the prescription drugs commonly used in the United States for
this purpose like Valium and Xanax, valerian does not have unpleasant
side effects. Valerian should not be combined with alcohol as the two
greatly exaggerate each other's effect on the body. Chamomile - is known for its calming effect on smooth muscle tissue, and is a popular remedy for nervous stomach, menstrual cramps, and problems related to stress. Since 1600, Europeans have used chamomile as a cure for insomnia, neuralgia, back pain, and rheumatism. They were not the first to discover this herb as the ancient Egyptians included chamomile in their arsenal of herbal cures. Peppermint - has been used since
ancient times. It is one of the oldest of all medicinal herbs. Peppermint
was used for everything from hiccups to hives. stings. In medieval times,
many people depended on its aroma to rid their homes of vermin and noxious
odours. Today, peppermint is most often used for its soothing effect on
the stomach. The antispasmodic effects of the herb are useful for relieving
indigestion, nausea and intestinal gas. In addition, peppermint tea is
recommended for headaches, as is used as a mild sedative. Passion Flower - (Passiflora incarnata)
was discovered in the 1600's by a Jesuit priest. The plant derives its
name from the way its structure is said to resemble Christ's Crucifixion
or Passion: the five petals and five sepals are the ten apostles (less
Judas and Peter), the three pistils correlate to the nails of the cross,
and the ring of filaments represent the crown of thorns. Passiflora incarnata
has been used for centuries as an aid to sleep. It was used by the Aztecs
as a sedative and analgesic. Studies have demonstrated its use as a sedative
and mild analgesic. The beneficial effects stem from the flavonoid and
harman alkaloid content. Although most preparations contain only small
amounts of these harman alkaloids (about one tenth of one percent), this
is sufficient to produce relaxation and sleepiness. Hops - (humulus lupulus) is famous
as a relaxing and calming herb that makes it possible to fall asleep naturally.
This plant is actually one of the oldest known plants used for preparing
teas, tonics, beverages, and poultices. Hops have incredible holistic
value. They have tonic, nervine, diuretic and anodiyne properties. Their
volatile oil produces sedative and soporific effects and the bitter principle
is stomachic and tonic. For this reason, hops can improve the appetite
and help promote sleep. Hop juice also cleanses the blood and has comparable
benefits with Sarsaparilla Skullcap - Skullcap was first brought
to the attention of physicians in the West in 1772 as a cure for rabies.
A New England physician claimed his experiments proved the herb prevented
and cured "hydrophobia". Over the next hundred years, herbalists
used skullcap as a digestive aid and tranquilliser. Skullcap entered the
U.S. Pharmacopoeia in 1863 as a tranquilizer. It remained there until
1916, when it moved to the National Formulary, the pharmacists' reference,
where it remained until 1947. Contemporary herbalists recommend skullcap
as a tranquilizer for insomnia, nervous tensions, and premenstrual syndrome. Melatonin - is a substance normally produced by the pineal gland. One of its functions is to produce natural uninterrupted sleep. Unfortunately, the amount of Melatonin is reduced as we get older. It is also depleted in response to stress, caffeine and alcohol. Melatonin is often used to treat jet lag, insomnia, and for boosting the immune system. Melatonin re-sets the circadian rhythms of the body's "inner clock," by lowering body temperature, which, in turn, controls the sleep/wake cycle. Melatonin is also known for its role in protecting against cancer, aiding stroke victims in recovering from brain damage, and for relieving some of the acute effects of migraine headaches. Clinically tested, the unique ingredients of the Supreme Sleep™ have brought relief from insomnia to thousands of people. Don't spend another night hoping for sleep. |
