Insomnia caused by stress? Start with natural herbs!
After a long day of work and household chores, adequate sleep can rest a weary body, leaving you refreshed and energetic for the day ahead. However, as we age, getting enough sleep becomes increasingly difficult. A 2020 survey by the Chinese University of Hong Kong revealed that 6.8 out of every 10 people in Hong Kong experience insomnia¹, with women, the elderly, and those prone to anxiety being the most affected.
Stress, emotions, and sleep are inextricably linked. When we're chronically stressed and anxious, we toss and turn even in bed, our minds constantly reeling from tomorrow's to-do list. This can lead to insomnia, frequent waking, and frequent dreams. Over time, this can lead to stress-induced fatigue and discomfort, making it easy for our emotions to spiral out of control, creating a vicious cycle. Stress is a contributing factor to cellular aging. To relieve nervous tension, improve sleep quality, and revitalize, we must learn to coexist with stress. In addition to regular exercise and relaxation techniques (such as meditation and yoga), many natural herbs are now used to relieve stress and manage symptoms.
Patented Ashwagandha KSM-66®:
Ashwagandha, also known as Withania somnifera or Indian ginseng, is widely cultivated in India, Mediterranean countries, and the Himalayas.² It can improve your resistance to stress, helping you stay calm under high pressure. It effectively regulates stress factors, relieves anxiety, and promotes sleep.
Lemon Balm:
Lemon balm originates from the temperate Middle East and later spread to Asia and Mediterranean countries. It is now also common in North America and Europe.³ Besides its refreshing lemony aroma, it also helps regulate mood and combat depression. It stimulates the release of GABA, which helps to relieve neural activity and promote sleep, significantly aiding mood management.⁴
