“In our country there are many medicinal plants, very effective, which combat daily stress, anxiety and promote optimism. To get rid of stressful situations, which seem endless, it is good to use some herbs, famous for their effectiveness: lime, St. John’s wort, valerian, mint, passionflower, lavender and rhubarb, famous for their therapeutic effect, “says Eugen Giurgiu, PhD in biochemistry with skills in phytotherapy and nutrition in the study: “Health and vigor”.
Lime fights depression and asthenia
Irritability in interpersonal relationships, insomnia, crises of uncertainty, crying, intellectual overload are some of the effects of daily worries. In such situations, a vitamin cure or excess caffeinated beverages are not helpful. On the contrary, they can exacerbate depressive anxiety. In tense moments, lime flower macerates are the perfect solution for depression, intellectual overwork and asthenia. Undisputed stars among the healing plants, linden flowers, have a sedative, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, expectorant, sweating, antiviral, decongestant, spasmolytic, hypotensive, relaxing and emollient action. The healing power of lime preparations is due to the active substances identified in the composition of the plant: carbohydrates, tannins, vitamin C, volatile oils, mucilages and saponins. Lime is consumed as an infusion, two to three warm teas a day.
Lavender is famous for its sedative properties
Although it is used intensively in the cosmetics industry, lavender is also appreciated as a medicinal plant, and flowers are mainly used in therapeutic applications. The plant has sedative, antispasmodic, antiseptic, hypotensive, carminative, diuretic, sweating, anti-inflammatory and healing properties, helping in a variety of diseases. In therapy to combat nervous agitation and insomnia, infusions are recommended, prepared from two teaspoons of dried lavender flowers, which are infused for ten minutes in 250 ml of boiling water. Drink two or three teas a day sweetened with a little honey.
Valerian, new conclusions regarding the effects of the plant
Plant with strong sedative effects, valerian fights insomnia and anxiety, but does not influence the effects of other drugs recommended by the allopathic doctor. Recent studies offer specialists and lovers of herbs new conclusions about the properties of this remedy, which completes the list of classic recommendations. Knowingly, several categories of patients will benefit from the “power” of the rescue plant. Internally, valerian has a wide range of action: insomnia, depression, obsessions, tics, palpitations, nervous cough, asthma attacks, migraines and dizziness, to name just a few of the properties of this miraculous plant.
Passiflora, an exceptional anti-stress remedy during the day
Passiflora, also known as the “Passion Flower”, was named Plant of the Year 2011 by a team of researchers in the field of historical evolution of medicinal plants at the University of Wurtzburg (Bavaria). German researchers have found that the Passion Flower removes nervous agitation, insomnia, gastrointestinal pain due to nervousness, and tests have shown that the plant is just as useful in relieving anxiety. At the same time, tests have shown that the plant is a good sedative that can be administered during the day. German researchers also claim that the leaf extracts are the strongest and believe that the main effect of the plant is due to flavonoids that have a calming effect and reduce anxiety. Passiflora is given as an infusion: a teaspoon of the root of the plant is infused in a cup of boiling water.
The infusion bowl is covered and, after 25 minutes, the tea is strained and drunk warm in the evening, before going to bed.
And mint fights anxiety
Good Ishma (Mentha piperita) is one of the most effective natural remedies for a variety of diseases: from gastrointestinal pain, indigestion and to combating anxiety. European phytotherapists say that this plant species is the quintessential medicinal mint that contains the most effective active ingredients such as menthol, a valuable essential oil, antibiotic compounds and minerals that have a strong antiseptic and calming action. Mint infusion fights palpitations, anxiety and also helps to invigorate the nervous system. Mint-containing cocktails are a source of refreshment after tiring days or menus high in fat and refined sweets. For an improved effect, mint is prepared as an infusion combined with angelica (from each plant half a teaspoon) to 500 ml of boiling water. The plants are infused for 15 minutes. Consume 100 ml of tea three times a day.
St. John’s wort maintains emotional balance
Globally, thousands of tons of St. John’s wort are being turned into drugs that control the diseases of the century: depression, high blood pressure, asthma, obesity and weight gain, conditions caused by emotional imbalances. Dozens of studies and laboratory tests conducted in Germany show that St. John’s wort is a tonic for soul balance. These conclusions were reached by German researchers following a giant experiment, performed on 3250 patients suffering from various forms of depression. Other researchers in the United States and England have reached the same results. This explains the fact that, for the first time in the history of allopathic medicine, St. John’s wort treatment is recommended by doctors as an adjunct to depression.
Treatment with St. John’s wort preparations proved to be life-saving for the four distinct categories of depression: reactive depression, caused by negative events in the patient’s life, biological depression (sometimes inherited), psychiatric depression, resulting in loss of contact with reality and winter depression. in the cold season, when the natural light of the day is reduced in intensity and replaced with artificial light. St. John’s wort extract acts like antidepressant drugs and causes the cerebral cortex to release neurotransmitters that induce certain emotional states, such as optimism, enthusiasm and mental tone. Studies of depressed patients taking St. John’s wort extract and St. John’s wort powder have shown that after two weeks of treatment, most patients overcome asthenia and begin to gain confidence in their own strength.
Roinita, recommended in states of insomnia and memory disorders
The therapeutic power of roinita has aroused the interest of many European phytotherapists who recommend the use of the plant internally, as an adjunct in nervousness, stress and anxiety. Roinita has also been shown to be effective in panic attacks, depression, insomnia, memory disorders and cardiac neuroses. For those who have digestive problems, the plant is recommended in gastrointestinal disorders on a nervous background, in flatulence, chronic colitis, enterocolitis, gastro-duodenal colic and biliary dyskinesia. At the same time, people who experience anorexia, vomiting, gastrointestinal ulcer, headache, migraines, dizziness (dizziness), nausea, vomiting, Alzheimer’s disease and herpes can also benefit from the therapeutic properties of roinita.
