Relax with Herbal Medicinals
The Acupuncture by Andrea clinic carries a wide variety of natural herbal medicinals, supplements and neutraceuticals. One of the most recommended and most loved herbal formulas is The Calm formula family from Evergreen, a family business.
Calm
Recommended for: general anxiety and irritability
Your “fight or flight” response is a normal reaction to a uniquely stressful event. When stressors such as work, relationships, traffic, or a health issue are not alleviated, our adrenals remain stressed beyond their capacity leading to health problems including brain and cognitive malfunction, heart and coronary issues, stomach and digestive disfunction and a weakened immune system.

CALM formula helps mitigate these health issues by calming restlessness and soothing irritability. Herbs that are used to relieve pain and muscle tension are partnered with herbs to alleviate stress and anxiety. Intended for short term use combined with acupuncture.
Calm Jr
Recommended for: ADD, ADHD, anxiety in children
Hyperactivity, anxiety and restlessness in children and young adults is mass diagnosed in this country. In the last two years, the mental health crisis in the under 20 age group has increased at an alarming rate. Drugs normally prescribed for these issues have undesirable short- and long-term effects and significant potential for abuse and addiction. CALM JR helps to improve memory and relieve anxiety and hyperactivity. Included in the formula are herbs with a neuroprotective effect to prevent damage to the nerves and brain. This formula can be taken during the school year, with a break during summer and winter vacations.
Calm ZZZ
Recommended for: insomnia
Are you under constant stress? You can benefit from this formula. Stress and anxiety during the day can lead to chronic insomnia at night. This roller coaster of emotional highs and lows without the rest we need to rejuvenate can deplete your system and leave you weak with your health compromised. Calm ZZZ is not a sleep aid, but rather a functioning formula to aid liver qi movement while boosting digestive weakness to help make blood for good circulation. You can take this formula during the day for stress, anxiety and depression and another dose 30 minutes before bedtime.
Calm ES
Recommended for: severe emotional distress
When life has you spinning, you can find relief. Combined with regular acupuncture treatments, this powerful formula for treating emotional and psychological disorders contains adaptogenic herbs to help you cope with severe emotional distress, mild psychological disorders and withdrawal from alcohol, drugs or smoking. CALM ES contains herbs with a tranquilizing effect to calm and soothe a stressed-out system, and herbs with sedating and antispasmodic action. CALM ES is not an herbal sedative, but a mixture of herbal medicinals to treat your underlying condition without negative side effects.

Dive into this article to find out how acupuncture can help you overcome your fears.
