As a mild sedative, valerian may be taken 30-45 minutes before bedtime. Valerian is sold as dried root for tea, as a tincture or an extract. This herb is an excellent relaxant. It is recommended as an extract taken in 250 milligram dosages, two or three times per day. It can be very helpful for treating anxiety accompanied by depression.
Movement is ideal medicine.
Exercise balances the release of neurotransmitters to the brain, stimulates the cardiovascular system, reduces stress and increases overall health and vitality. How you choose to exercise is up to you. Taking at least 30 minutes each day to be present in your body, being conscious of your breath and moving freely is one of life's great joys. Remember that doing something is better than doing nothing. Many people assume that if they don't have at least 30 minutes to exercise it is not worth moving.
