Herbal solution to Sleep Disorders

A study in Germany, on ‘Novo-Baldriparan’ a product containing valerian root, hops and balm was conduct on 225 patients with sleep disorders.

The patients were given Novo-Baldriparan for a period of two weeks and their symptoms were recorded afterwards. The results showed that the herbs produced a significant reduction in the sleep disruption. Both the nervous unrest, which was the underlying cause of the sleep disorders, as well as the sleep disorders themselves were significantly reduced.

The difficulties falling asleep improved in 89% of the patients, the difficulties sleeping through the night improved in 80% and the states of nervous unrest improved in 82% of the patients. The acceptability of Novo-Baldriparan was rated positively by both the doctors and patients - 96.9% of the physicians and 96.4% of the patients gave the rating 'very good' or 'good'.

The quantity of sleep was also considerably increased , while the patients noted that external stressors which had previously caused considerable distress were much less distressing during the period when they were taking the herbal compound

Other stress indicators also improved in the study such as headaches, dizziness, and cardiovascular or gastrointestinal discomfort. Heart rate and blood pressure improved and this was accompanied as a whole by a noticeable improvement in the patients' general well being.
