Reviews
Elena, 23 years old, Moscow
I study at the institute and work in parallel. It is difficult to combine these two classes. Constant stress before exams translate into insomnia. I began to notice that I could not concentrate on work or school. Before the exams, panic attacks began, and I forgot what I was learning. I started taking motherwort in pills three times a day and after 10 days I noticed improvements. The irritability is gone and quiet sleep has returned. I began to more calmly endure the negative and life difficulties. The only negative thing that I always want to drink.
Svetlana, 44, Chelyabinsk
I have three children. I work two jobs and live in constant stress. Insomnia entered my life a long time ago. I rarely sleep more than 3-4 hours a day. I signed up for an appointment with the therapist, hoping that he would prescribe me some antidepressants. The recipe was denied to me, because he did not find in me serious nervous disorders. After talking with my mother, I decided to follow her example and began to accept Motherwort Forte. The sleep normalized, nervousness went away and the menstrual cycle was improved. I drink it all year round, but after a month of drinking I take a break for 2-3 weeks.
