When I first become overwhelmed with the symptoms of fibromyalgia, I ran to my health food store and secured some Valerian root extract. My doctor offered many psychosomatic drug recourses, but with additional new found chemical sensitivities, I opted out and decided on my own route. I knew if I could get my body out of this heightened anxiety stage, I'd give it time to rest and heal. Valerian root allowed that without producing medicine head and more exacerbated side effects. I took a few drops every few hours, and my flare ups were cut in half. Keeping it in my purse allowed me to get back to being mobile without feelings of panic arising when the pain began.
In the morning I needed some immediate refuge and found Celestial Seasonings Tension Tamer. I wanted an herbal tea that would help me relax upon rising, but still allow a good amount of coherency so I could continue my day. I didn't want myself confined to the bed in sleep mode all day as many bedtime teas do. Tension Tamer helped my morning stiffness and anxiety melt away after just a few sips, yet allow me clarity to organize what was ahead. I'd bring this tea with me and sip it throughout the day as pain and anxiety ruled its ugly head.
An hour before bed, I begin to sip Bigelow Cozy Chamomile tea. Notice I say sipping. You never want your body to become overwhelmed with any substance while it is trying to heal itself. This tea gives you that slow, steady restful state you need desperately before falling off to sleep. By doing this nightly, you'll find your amount of restful sleep increases each night.
