Guest guest Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 I came up with this mixture for my Mom to get her off the "Nerve Pills" the doctor had her on and it worked very well 1 tablespoon Valerian Root 1 tablespoon Motherwort 1 tablespoon Lemon balm 1 tablespoon Scullcap Grind up herbs and fill OO capsules. Take 1 as needed The reason I picked this mixture was that Valerian root is a well known sedative so it helps you to relax. It also is a great muscle relaxant and calms the whole system. It has few side effects as compared to Valium or Xanax that she was on. The Motherwort also strengthens the nerve system and is a tonic for the whole body. The Lemon balm helps to increase blood circulation but also helps to relax you. The Scullcap is also a nervine as it helps to reduce nervous tension and is good for insomnia which she also suffered from. And since she had the habit of if one works then 2 or 3 work better the amounts of each herb in a cap was not enough to hurt her. Mary Keep rosemary by your garden gate. Plant roses and lavender for luck. Fall in love whenever you can.~ Practical Magic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
