Why we use these particular herbs in REST NOW

From the National Institutes of Health

“Ashwagandha, also known as Indian Ginseng, has been used in traditional Ayurvedic and Unani medicine systems in India as an adaptogen.  An adaptogen is defined as a product or substance that increases the ability of a person to resist, adapt or become resilient in nonspecific ways to biological, physical or chemical stressors.

Results from several clinical trials suggest that ashwagandha extracts may help reduce stress and anxiety.”

“Chamomile: A herbal medicine of the past with a bright future

The enduring popularity of herbal medicines may be explained by the tendency of herbs to work slowly, usually with minimal toxic side effects.  One of the most common herbs used for medicinal purposes is chamomile – whose standardized tea and herbal extracts are prepared from dried flowers.  Chamomile in the form of an aqueous extract has been frequently used as a mild sedative to calm nerves and reduce anxiety, to treat hysteria, nightmares, insomnia and other sleep problems.” 

From Mount Sinai Health System

 Valerian has been used to ease insomnia, anxiety and nervous restlessness since the second century A.D. It became popular in Europe in the 17th century. Valerian root has a sharp odor.  It is often combined with other calming herbs such as Lemon Balm.  Valerian is a popular alternative to prescription medications for sleep problems because it is considered to be both safe and gentle.  Some studies show that it helps people fall asleep faster and feel that they have a better quality of sleep.

From PubMed Clinical Trial > Phytomedicine.  2006 June 13

A combination of valerian and lemon balm is effective in the treatment of restlessness and dyssomnia in children.  Efficacy and tolerability of a combined valerian/lemon balm preparation were investigated in an open multicenter study in children less than 12 years old suffering from restlessness and nervous dyskinesis.   A distinct and convincing reduction in severity was found for all the symptoms in the investigators and parents’ ratings.…treatment in younger children with restlessness and dyssomnia was very well tolerated.
