Guest guest Posted March 18, 2003 Report Share Posted March 18, 2003 To relax try Dr. Schultz Nerve Tonic: This is the wonderful tonic I just discovered. Order it now and learn to make your own before it’s illegal. It is SO good. I take it when I’m upset or need to sleep. 2 droppers in a about 2 oz of water. Ahhhh! I hold it under my tongue and in my mouth before swallowing. You can feel it numb you as it goes down! Order by calling 1800Herbdoc: http://www.800herbdoc.com/abp/shf/nerve.html Also his students have their own herb store and you get similar remedies for less. I use many of their products and will learn to make my own from their kits. http://www.healmarketplace.com/ http://www.shepherds-rod.org/HEAL/herbs/nervine.htm Diana of Dewberry Hill Being that the current events in the world seem to have stressed a lot of folks out one way or another (emotionally, politically, financially, etc ...)

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2003 Report Share Posted March 19, 2003 Hi Diana Thanks for the input and ...yep, it is a very good idea to learn how to make the tinctures, and it is REALLY easy to do, and far less expensive. Another really good thing about making them yourself is you can customize your blends to really suit your individual needs. One more great thing about tinctures is that they last for AGES if stored properly! *Smile* Chris (list mom - buried under 20 inches of snow already today and expecting about another foot and a half before its over with some time tomorrow or Thursday!) http://www.alittleolfactory.com > ... learn to make your own ...

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2003 Report Share Posted March 19, 2003 You 'aint kidding! When my dad died I was only 17 and really still just learning about herbs - and I gave my grandmother (his mom) a cup of valerian root tea to try to help her soothe her nerves (she was understandably a wreck) - and all it did was relax her bowels cause she had a major poop explosion a short time after she drank the tea. It was not the thing for her - and they (her and my aunt and my uncle) never have listened to a word I've ever said about herbs, or any kind of " alternative medicines " ever again (even after years of various learning and training at this point - heck - they won't even listen to Dr. Weil - Mr. Mainstream America's trusted MD intro to " alternative therapies " ;-p ) In general folks have gotta be careful with those herbal remedies - and the more herbs they have in them .. the more careful one has to be. *Smile* Chris (list mom - who is glad she doesn't live in the foothills where they are literally calling for up to 8 FEET of snow!) http://www.alittleolfactory.com > ...

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2003 Report Share Posted March 19, 2003 Hi there I want to make some St John's Wort infused oil. Can anyone advise me where to find base material that would be suitable? I love the wonderful red colour, but was most disappointed to find a recent purchase that arrived was a mossy green colour. On enquiry the supplier could not answer why the red coloured oil I had always purchased before had been replaced by the mossy green one. If I can find out where to get the base herb that will result in a lovely red oil I am quite happy to make an oil infusion or maceration myself. Thanks! - " Christine Ziegler " <chrisziggy Wednesday, March 19, 2003 5:43 AM RE: How Do You Deal With Stress? > > You 'aint kidding!

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 B Vitamins – Max Stress Nano B – all natural. Vitamin D-Mulsion intra-MAX Lithium Orotate – natural lithium salts recommend by Dr. Hans Nieper and very effective. Great to take before bed for calming a racing mind. Pure Energy – Serotonin and Melatonin Production. Serotonin is a neural transmitter which calms the system. Does not give one energy but definitely helps with stress and also promotes good sleep. Lavender and Rose Bulgaria essential oils applied to back of neck. Listen to the Healing CD from the Mozart effect. Use headphones. Deep breathing exercises. Walks in the sunshine. 8-10 hours of sleep every night in a dark, cool room. Eating healthy. Stay hydrated. Afternoon at the spa – massage, reflexology, facial, etc. (I don’t get to do this very often.) Read an up-lifting book. Chiropractic adjustment. Gardening. A quiet evening with dh.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 It says on the bottle homeopathic but yes, it is valerian root passionflower and magnesium.

Now, all dogs have an innate ability to deal with stress on their own terms. They have calming signals, things like licking their lips and even yawning that equate to calming another down.
