Mood and Sleep Treatments

FACTS ON MOOD & SLEEP

Our mood and sleep patterns significantly impact our skin. The proverb of “beauty sleep” only etches the importance of sleep and mood on overall health and in turn the skin. There are some simple solutions and some modern pharmaceutical approaches.
At MySkinCare.in, we compound 100% natural options for calming the nerves and soothing our sleep. Some substances which are identical to the natural hormones produced in our bodies, like melatonin also help. Replenishing levels of melatonin may help reduce anxiety and improve the overall quality of life.

Brahmi, Ashwagandha, Shankhpushpi, Vacha and Tagarh- All these herbs can work wonders and also help mimic a more natural sleep pattern.
Brahmi suits best for those who have associated acid reflux and upper abdominal symptoms associated with problems of mood and sleep.
Ashwagandha works generally well for men, but can be used for women also in smaller doses alongside a complimentary dose of Brahmi.
Shankhpushpi, an extract of convolvulus flower, is a age old herb to enhance cognitive function of the mind. It also enhances memory and neural functioning.
Vacha or Acorus calamus, is known not only to help in calming the mind and balancing the mood swings, but also has metabolic benefits by improving obesity.
Tagarh can be a bit “drying” for the body, and used in combination with other herbs and under supervision.
