FAQ
What is Melissa?
Melissa is a natural product that was designed to reduce stress and induce sound sleep, making you wake up refreshed and rested. It is made from Lemon Balm, Chamomile, L-theanine, Magnesium and selected B-vitamins.
What are the main active ingredients in Melissa?
-Lemon balmis considered a "calming" herb. It was used in the Middle Ages to reduce stress and anxiety, promote sleep, and ease discomfort associated with digestion. Several studies have found that lemon balm combined with other calming herbs (such as chamomile) helps reduce anxiety and promote sleep.
-Chamomilehas long been used, mostly in teas, as an effective calming agent. Studies indicate that low doses of chamomile relieve stress and anxiety, while higher doses promote sleep.
- L-theanineis an amino acid found in green tea leaves. Research on humans has demonstrated that L-theanine creates a sense of relaxation in approximately 30-40 minutes. The amino acid directly stimulates the production of alpha brain waves, creating a state of deep relaxation and mental alertness similar to what is achieved through meditation. Further, L-theanine is involved in the formation of GABA, which influences the levels of serotonin, producing the key relaxation effect.
How are stress and sleep deprivation linked?
There are many causes of sleep deprivation, but often daily stress is the major influencer. Problems of the day get amplified at night, making your mind overactive, keeping you from falling a sleep. The next day, after a poor night sleep, you feel tired and unable to focus, which again makes you stress more about the challenges of the day. Its a vicious circle.
What are the consequences of stress and sleep deprivation?
Stress is a debilitating condition that upsets the balance of our hormones leading to a loss of well-being, performance, and even lifespan. Stress impairs the immune system, leaving us vulnerable to infections, and can further cause depression.
Sleep deprivation leads to a long line of problems. Heart problems, high blood pressure and even excess abdominal body fat occur as a result of sleep deprivation. Significant reductions in performance and alertness also occur. Reducing your nighttime sleep by just 1.5 hours for just one night could result in a reduction of daytime alertness by as much as 32%. Mental problems such as mood disturbances, depression and anxiety also are linked to sleep deprivation.
How does Melissa help Restless legs syndrome?
Some sleep disorders are initiated by Restless Legs Syndrome. In most cases, there is no known cause for RLS, but we know that lifestyle changes, such as regular sleep habits, relaxation techniques and moderate exercise during the day can help. Further, Melissa contains magnesium, which relaxes the muscles and counter acts cramps and muscle irritations.
How should I use Melissa?
For enhancing sound and deep sleep, take 2-3 tablets one hour before bedtime. After two weeks, you may reduce to 2 tablets before bedtime.
For reducing stress, take one Melissa tablet when needed during the day, such as one with every meal. This will give you a sense of calmness and relaxation, without making you drowsy.
Is Melissa safe to take?
Melissa is generally very safe to take. However, if you are taking sedatives (for sleep disorders or anxiety), you should consult a health care provider before taking Melissa. Since Chamomile may make asthma worse, people with asthma should not take Melissa.
Insomnia
Nothing replaces a good night's sleep. When you wake up after one, you feel refreshed, energized, motivated and happy. When you wake after tossing and turning for most of the night, you can feel the exact opposite. Unfortunately for a lot of people, they will often awake feeling as if they hadn't slept at all. Insomnia or, habitual sleeplessness, affects approximately one in ten individuals and becomes more common as we age. It can involve the inability to fall asleep or the inability to stay asleep. Causes of insomnia are, use of stimulants like caffeine or antihistamine, evening eating, evening exercise, shift work, an uncomfortable sleep environment, a weak bladder, worry, grief or stress. Chronic insomnia is usually caused by a medical condition such as hypoglycaemia, hyperthyroidism, restless leg syndrome, arthritis, breathing disorders, indigestion or sleep apnea. Half of all chronic insomniacs suffer from depression or another psychological disorder.
We need deep and sound sleep to allow both our bodies and our minds to recuperate from the challenges and (often) stress of our daily lives. When we don't get enough good quality sleep, it affects our body in many ways. Many bodily processes are regulated by sleep for example production of certain neurotransmitters and hormones. If the specific glands and cells do not receive the correct messages produced by sleeping, then the healthy amount of these important substances may not be produced. Depression may result in the case of neurotransmitter deficiency. Fatigue or anxiety may result in the case of insufficient adrenal or thyroid hormones. Feeling tired frequently can reduce someone's enjoyment of life.
Many factors can affect whether or not you are able to get to sleep deeply and soundly on any given night. Stress can have a large impact on your ability to relax and subsequently get to sleep. Chronic neurotransmitter deficiencies can make it difficult to get to sleep no matter how hard you try. Nutritional deficiencies can make reduce your body's ability to produce these important brain hormones. Nutritional support for insomnia should include supplements to address each of these factors, including: stress reduction, optimizing neurotransmitter production, addressing potential sleep disorders, and taking supplements to improve overall sleep quality.
