SUPPORTING POSITIVE MENTAL HEALTH
|
Welcome to another edition of our newsletter! This month, we are focusing on natural remedies for mental health. Especially given it is exam time soon, and students and parents alike could probably do with some extra support.
The fastest growing health issue that we see in The Health Hub is poor mental health. Since COVID particularly, we have seen a lot of customers with anxiety, panic attacks, low mood and sleeplessness. What is particularly worrying, is that we are commonly seeing these in pre-adolescents and teenagers.
At The Health Hub we believe in the power of natural solutions to support overall wellness, and mental health is no exception. These remedies are safe to take with medications but make sure that you check and always keep your family GP in the loop.

L-Theanine for calm and focus
|
|
|
L-theanine is an amino acid found in green tea that has been shown to have numerous benefits for reducing anxiety and promoting relaxation. It works by boosting levels of neurotransmitters in the brain, such as GABA and serotonin, which help to calm the mind and improve mood.
Studies have shown that L-theanine can help to reduce symptoms of anxiety, stress, and depression without causing drowsiness or other negative side effects. It can also improve cognitive function and focus, making it a valuable tool for those who are getting anxious about exams and school.
We love Macanta L-Theanine & L-Ornithine Complex and Viridian L-Theanine and Lemonbalm Complex

Cannabis Oil for calm and chill
|
Before you think we are drug pushers, the cannabis oil that we sell in The Health Hub does not have any THC present. This means that there is no hallucinatory compound and it cannot get you 'stoned' or 'high'. This form of cannabis oil is also called CBD oil, is legally sold in Ireland and has Zero % THC by law.
CBD oil has been shown to have a wide range of benefits for mental health. It can help alleviate symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress by interacting with receptors in the brain that regulate mood and emotions. It works quickly so can be taken when needed and as needed.
Additionally, CBD oil has been found to have neuroprotective properties, meaning it can help protect the brain from damage and improve cognitive function.
We have seen the benefits of CBD oil for our customers for anxiety, pain, for ADD and ADHD. Come and talk to us about the best type of CBD oil suitable for your needs.

Ashwaghanda to Improve Resilience
|
We have seen the benefits of this lovely herb for our customers over the years. Perfect to help Leaving Certs to remain on an even keel throughout exams.
Ashwagandha is an adaptogenic herb that has been used in traditional medicine for centuries to help alleviate stress and improve mood.
Studies have shown that ashwagandha can help reduce cortisol levels, which is a hormone produced in response to stress. By lowering cortisol levels, ashwagandha can help reduce feelings of anxiety and improve overall mood.
Additionally, ashwagandha has been found to have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help protect the body from the negative effects of chronic stress. Overall, incorporating ashwagandha into your daily routine may help you better manage stress and improve your overall emotional well-being..

Saffron is a spice derived from the flower of Crocus sativus, and it is commonly used in cooking and traditional medicine.
One notable benefit of saffron is its potential to alleviate symptoms of depression. Research has shown that saffron can act as a natural antidepressant by increasing levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that plays a crucial role in regulating mood.
Additionally, saffron contains antioxidant compounds that may help reduce inflammation and protect the brain from oxidative stress, which can contribute to depression.
We get very good feedback on Viridian Saffron Extract and also a lovely product with both saffron and ashwagandha together is the Solgar Ultimate Calm.
