A restful night's sleep and balance for body and mind
Unfortunately, stress is something we are all familiar with. By eating healthily, getting enough sleep and exercising, we can ensure that we stay healthy. Otherwise, stress can take hold of our immune system and thus our resistance. In addition, high levels of stress can also cause physical complaints.
Supplements made from natural plant and herbal extracts can offer support thanks to their relaxing and calming effect. Minerals such as magnesium are also well-known natural anti-stress agents. These supplements can help combat stress and contribute to a good night's sleep and inner peace. Some also have a positive effect on the nervous system.
Natural supplements
Valerian root
Valerian is a plant whose root has a calming effect. Valerian root capsules are therefore good for a better night's sleep, but also in stressful situations. Do not exceed the recommended dose on the packaging, as too much valerian can make you drowsy. This may sound pleasant if you want to fall asleep, but it reduces your alertness during the day. Do not use in children, during pregnancy or in combination with sleeping pills or antidepressants.
St. John's Wort
St. John's Wort also helps you get a good night's sleep, but is best known for its positive effect on mood. So if you suffer from depression or irritability, St. John's Wort can help. Like valerian root, St. John's Wort should not be used in combination with antidepressants to prevent overmedication. St. John's Wort is the herb of the plant that has been used as a natural medicine for thousands of years.
Magnesium
Magnesium plays a role in muscle building, but also promotes muscle relaxation. For this reason, athletes, for example, take extra magnesium to prevent muscle cramps. When you experience a lot of stress, your body also needs more magnesium to relax your muscles. Magnesium is therefore a natural anti-stress remedy.
Vitamin C
In addition to its role in strengthening the immune system and improving resistance, vitamin C also ensures the proper functioning of the nervous system. Our nervous system consists of our brain, our nerves and our spinal cord. Vitamin C is important for limiting the negative effects of stress and anxiety on our nervous system.

Frequently asked questions about stress and sleep
Which tea is best to drink before going to bed?
Definitely not black tea; this contains caffeine, which makes it difficult to fall asleep. Green and white tea can also contain caffeine and are therefore good teas for a good night's sleep. It is better to drink a herbal tea based on valerian, St. John's wort, lavender or chamomile. These herbs have a relaxing and calming effect.
Due to stress, I often feel like my head is “full”. Can dietary supplements also help to clear my head?
B vitamins can help you to stay focused and keep your mind clear. This is especially true for vitamin B12.
