In today's high-stress world, anxiety, poor sleep, and mood swings are becoming major health concerns for consumers everywhere. We've selected six well-known herbs from around the world to create a natural, gentle, and effective formula for relaxation and better sleep.
1. Jujube Seed (Ziziphus Seed) – The Eastern Sleep Master
Traditional Role: A core herb in Traditional Chinese Medicine for treating insomnia. Known as the "No.1 herb for calming the mind."
How it works?
Regulates neurotransmitters: The total flavonoids and total saponins in Jujube seed significantly increase serum levels of 5-HT (serotonin) and GABA, while reducing excitatory neurotransmitters such as DA (dopamine), ACH (acetylcholine), and L-Glu (glutamate).
Regulates circadian rhythm: Helps restore the sleep-wake cycle by influencing the expression of rhythm-regulating genes in the hypothalamus, including Per1, Per2, and Bmal1.
Anti-anxiety effect: Enhances GABA receptor activity, inhibits overactivation of the HPA axis (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis), and reduces cortisol release.
👉 Advantage: Gentle, safe, and suitable for long-term use.
2. Chamomile – The Gentle Sleep Flower
Traditional Role: The most popular bedtime herbal tea in Europe and America. Known as a "gentle sleep inducer."
How it works?
Apigenin (a compound in chamomile) binds to GABA receptors in the brain, producing a mild calming effect
Clinical studies show that drinking chamomile tea for 8 consecutive weeks can significantly improve sleep quality and relieve anxiety
The mechanism is believed to be related to the GABAergic pathway in the central nervous system
👉 Advantage: Suitable for people with mild stress
