1. Linden, valerian and lemon balm tea
Herbalists have developed many treatments to improve the functioning of the nervous system. First of all, it is worth noting the benefits of three herbs: linden flowers, valerian roots and lemon balm leaves. Naturalists believe that the drink made from them strengthens the nerves, and the reaction to various stressful situations becomes much calmer.
Nevertheless, to achieve the desired result, it is necessary to drink the infusion for at least 5-6 weeks, with a break of several days in the middle of the treatment.
To prepare the infusion, mix the chopped herbs in equal proportions. Pour one and a half tablespoons of the mixture with one and a half glasses of boiling water and leave under the lid for 15-20 minutes. Drink the infusion three times a day in small sips, half a glass. The drink can be slightly sweetened with honey.
2. Hop cones infusion
With excessive nervousness, especially in women, it is useful to drink an infusion of hop cones.
To prepare the infusion, you need to pour 2 teaspoons of hop cones with a glass of boiling water. Let it brew for 20 minutes under the lid, and then strain. You need to drink 3-4 times a day half an hour before meals. The drink can be slightly sweetened with honey. Treatment should be carried out for 2-3 weeks with short interruptions.
Hop cones are also a component of many sedative mixtures recommended for extreme nervousness, autonomic neurosis, anxiety and insomnia.
To prepare the infusion, mix equal parts hops, lemon balm, St. John's wort, peppermint leaves and valerian root. Then pour 2 tablespoons of the mixture with two glasses of boiling water. Leave to brew for a few minutes, then bring this infusion to a boil, cool and strain. You need to drink the drink in several portions throughout the day.
3. Mint Blend for Nerves and Digestion
For nervous ailments associated with disorders of the digestive system and insomnia, a mixture with mint will help. The recipe is as follows: mix 20 grams of mint, 30 grams of beaver leaves and 50 grams of valerian roots. Pour a tablespoon of the herbal mixture with a glass of boiling water. Strain the infusion after 15 minutes. You need to drink before bedtime.
4. Hawthorn tincture
In folk medicine for the treatment of hyperactivity, high blood pressure, insomnia, atherosclerosis and allergies, hawthorn fruit tincture is used. There are many different recipes, but we suggest one of them. 8-10 tablespoons of dried hawthorn fruits, pour half liters of rye vodka and let it brew for two weeks (shake from time to time). Take 15-20 drops of the infusion 2-3 times a day, preferably in the morning and evening after meals.
5. Camomile tea
Chamomile has powerful sedative properties. It is most effectively used in mixtures, for example, with lemon balm or linden. When a stressful situation threatens, anxiety intensifies, or anger builds up, it is best to drink a glass of warm chamomile tea, lightly sweetened with honey. To make tea, you need to pour boiling water over a teaspoon of dried or fresh chamomile flowers and let it brew.
Chamomile and linden baths are a reliable way to relieve stress. To prepare a flower infusion for a bath, you need 3-4 handfuls of chamomile flowers or a mixture of chamomile and linden flowers, pour boiling water. After a few minutes of infusion, pour the flower infusion into a bath with warm water. Bathing should last 15-20 minutes. After getting out of the bath, go to bed and sweat.
6. Honey syrup for nerves
In the spring and summer, you can use fresh nettles to calm your nerves. Pick a few handfuls of plant tips and leaves. Chop very finely. Pour portions into the jar. Pour each portion with a layer of slightly warmed honey in such an amount that it completely covers the nettle. When the jar is full, leave it in a dark place for a few days. Stir everything from time to time. Then strain the syrup and take a teaspoon two to three times a day. The syrup can be dissolved in warm herbal or regular tea. Don't make too much syrup at a time.
7. Nettle tea
If you do not want to make syrup, you can drink tea only from nettle, slightly sweetened with honey. You can also add a little mint or lemon balm to it to taste. Here's one recipe: Pour 2-3 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh nettle with three cups of boiling water. Let it brew for a few minutes, then strain. You need to drink the drink during the day in 3-5 portions, always slowly and in small sips. In autumn and winter, you can brew tea from dried leaves.
8. Sesame seeds in the diet
Sesame should be included in your daily anti-stress diet. It has sedative properties. Sesame seeds can be used as a salad dressing or as a granola addition. You can also use sesame oil. It is used not only in cooking, but also for massage.
