How to make a soothing tincture from 5 ingredients

Hello, friends!

Our life is full of stress, emotional experiences that primarily weaken our nerves and have an unfavorable effect on our hearts.

In these cases, various medications can help us, not necessarily fashionable and expensive. Herbal tinctures known since ancient times are quite effective.

I want to remind you of a popular mixture of sedative tinctures of 5 components: valerian, motherwort, hawthorn, peony, Corvalol, as well as other options, which is drunk for nerves and for sleep.

I’ll tell you why this mixture is useful, how to take it, contraindications and reviews.

VKPB tincture 4-in-1

The soothing tincture VKPB (valerian, corvalol, motherwort, hawthorn) got its name from the first letters of its components. The easiest way to make such drops is to buy four bottles of ready-made ingredients at the pharmacy. They are mixed in equal parts, 30 milliliters each. Admission rules:

1. They drink VKPB in the same cases as any sedative: for insomnia or after an anxious day. You need to take the drops an hour and a half before bedtime, a teaspoon in a quarter glass of water. If the smell or taste seems too strong, you can add more water.
2. For complex treatment of neuroses, VKPB is prescribed 50 drops in half a glass of water three times a day, half an hour before meals.

Reviews from people who have used this “cocktail” during periods of increased emotional or mental stress indicate that it helps reduce nervous tension and focus better.

It has virtually no contraindications, but all medications that include phenobarbital cannot be taken for a long time.

How to cook

The tinctures that make up the VKPB can be prepared independently; instead of Corvalol, horse chestnut is added to the homemade VKPB. Infuse the mixture for different times, but always in the dark at room temperature, shaking the bottles from time to time. For the dose of raw materials indicated below, you need a shot of vodka (100 ml):

1. Valerian tincture is prepared for 7–10 days; it will require one tablespoon of crushed or scissored valerian rhizomes (Valeriana officinalis L.).
2. Horse chestnut tincture is made from both the fruits and flowers of Aesculus hyppocastanum L. The fruits are usually used to prepare rubs, and medicine is infused on the flowers for internal use. But the tincture of chestnut fruits can be taken orally without fear. To prepare it, take a tablespoon of ground flowers or one large ground chestnut in the peel. Leave for 10 days.
3. Motherwort (Leonurus) in the amount of one tablespoon per glass of vodka is also infused for 10 days.
4. To prepare vodka extract of hawthorn berries (Crataégus) you will need 25 dried crushed berries. It takes longer for the beneficial substances to transfer into the alcohol base than in previous recipes. Hawthorn berries are infused for at least two weeks.

Before mixing the soothing drops, all ingredients must be strained. They are mixed in equal parts, and approximately 250–300 milliliters of finished VKPB are obtained.

Horse chestnut or Corvalol?

Instead of horse chestnut tincture, Corvalol is sometimes added to homemade VKPB. But in this case, you need to mix not the entire volume of the resulting tinctures, but a small amount of them, as is done with pharmacy tinctures - 30–50 milliliters each. Corvalol is added in the same quantity as other components.

However, is it worth doing? The main ingredients of the famous heart medicine are phenobarbital and ethyl bromizovalerianate.

Phenobarbital is addictive, and ethyl bromoisovalerate accumulates in the body and, with long-term use, is dangerous for the liver and kidneys.

But sedatives are often prescribed in long courses! Unfortunately, we all know how easy it is to “spoil your nerves” and how difficult it is to later find peace of mind and restful sleep.

Several months of treatment with a plant-based tincture will not harm a person. When his nerves return to normal, he himself will feel that he no longer needs the sedative and will stop taking it. It’s another matter when the medicine includes phenobarbital - once you get used to this chemical compound, it’s difficult to give it up.

Therefore, the “classic” tincture of VKPB (valerian, corvalol, motherwort, hawthorn) is used only symptomatically, and its version with horse chestnut extract is prescribed for long-term treatment.

Benefits of motherwort

Motherwort is a very useful plant for the nervous system and heart. It contains vitamins necessary for our immunity and other beneficial compounds. The essential oils included in its composition calm the nerves, and the minerals are necessary for normal cardiac activity.

Calming tinctures: recipes

Top 12 effective herbs for hemorrhoids: recipes and methods of use
In addition to the well-known sedative complex in the “classic” recipe, there are also variations of five-component mixtures of herbal alcohol tinctures. Preparing a complex tincture to calm and stabilize the nervous system is very simple: you need to mix all the components in equal parts. Then pour the liquid into a container with a dispenser (for example, a Hilak bottle) and a tight-fitting lid. Place in the refrigerator for several hours.

"Classic" complex

Hawthorn. The plant reduces nervous excitability and has great benefits for the heart and brain, normalizing the activity of these organs. Helps with heart pain and rhythm disturbances, insomnia and psycho-emotional disorders (especially during premenopause). The herb cleanses and improves the functioning of the vascular system, reduces “bad” cholesterol, helps oxygenate the blood, stabilizes and activates metabolic processes. Valerian. The healing properties of the plant have been known since the times of Ancient Greece and Egypt, where the herb was successfully used to heal nervous disorders, hysteria and nervousness. Recommended for chronic stress, depression, insomnia, increased excitability, irritability. Peony has a mild calming effect, helping to normalize the central nervous system.

In addition, the plant tincture has analgesic properties and a slight tonic effect (it acts like a light nootropic - it calms and at the same time improves concentration, attention and thought processes). Motherwort also acts as a sedative and is not inferior in strength to valerian. The substances in the herb help with neuralgia, neuroses, and high blood pressure. Corvalol is an effective sedative and antispasmodic drug

It is actively used for cardiovascular neuroses, neuralgia, myalgia, tachycardia, and chronic insomnia.

Corvalol is often replaced in a complex tincture with mint or horse chestnut.

Other recipes

In addition to the “classic” mixture of tinctures, there are recipes for less well-known, but no less effective combinations of alcoholic infusions consisting of 5 components.

Complex No. 1

A mixture of tinctures is used:

Hops, in their healing properties, are similar to valerian, but act much more mildly. The mild sedative effect of the plant helps to cope with insomnia and normalize sleep, relieve excessive excitability and nervousness. Hops have enormous benefits for women's health (due to the content of phytoestrogens). Therefore, the tincture is used to relieve symptoms of PMS and menopause.

Essential oils of citral and menthol provide the calming effect of mint. These same compounds have antispasmodic, analgesic properties and help with neuralgia of any nature, migraines and neurasthenia.

Chamomile has a slight calming ability and is used in the complex treatment of stress, insomnia, and anxiety.

Calendula has a beneficial effect on the nervous system, has a mild calming effect and is used for depression, neuroses, insomnia, and psycho-emotional disorders during menopause.

Horse chestnut helps fight insomnia, speeds up and improves the process of falling asleep, gives restful sleep and complete rest for the whole body.

Characteristics of components

The complex of natural extracts has wide healing potential. Herbal extracts have a calming effect, reduce anxiety, improve sleep quality, and promote rapid sleep.

Motherwort

An alcoholic tincture of motherwort retains all the properties of a fresh plant. It contains:

• flavonoids;
• tannins;
• essential oil;
• steroid glycosides.

The components strengthen the vascular walls, normalize the pulse rate, relieve cramps and tone the body.

Thanks to the medicine, the transmission of signals from the nervous system to the brain improves, blood pressure levels stabilize, and excitement decreases.

Valerian

An extract from the root of the plant has a positive effect on the central nervous system and can be used as an antispasmodic. With regular use, it tones muscles, relieves headaches and improves mood.

Valerian tincture is recommended to eliminate symptoms:

"Magic" calming complex

Review of 3 herbs that remove uric acid from the body + recipes based on them

What components are included in a complex sedative? The complex consists of the following tinctures:

• hawthorn;
• valerian;
• peony;
• motherwort;
• Corvalol.

Each of the components has a beneficial and gentle effect on the nervous system and is used to calm and normalize its functioning. Then why do you need a mixture of 5 components? Everything is very simple. If there is a place for chronic stress in your life, you are “haunted” by insomnia or interrupted sleep with heavy dreams, and your mood changes literally at the click of a finger - a soothing tincture of one of the herbs simply cannot help you. Its effect will be too weak.

In this case, a complex will help, which includes tinctures of peony and motherwort, valerian and hawthorn, and Corvalol. The components enhance each other's action and provide a pronounced calming effect. At the same time, compliance with the recommended dosage eliminates addiction. And the list of contraindications for this herbal complex is quite small.

Indications for use

It is recommended to use a complex sedative in the following situations:

• Disorders of the nervous system of moderate severity;
• Depressive states;
• Hypertension;
• Panic attacks, chronic anxiety and fear;
• Moderate to mild neurasthenia;
• Excessive nervous excitability, sudden mood swings - from severe irritability and aggression to apathy;
• Chronic stress;
• Serious sleep disorders (insomnia, light, weak sleep with heavy dreams);
• Tachycardia, arrhythmia.

A “cocktail” of tinctures prevents the formation of blood clots, improves cerebral circulation, and helps recover from strokes and heart attacks.

Contraindications and side effects

The mixture has few contraindications. You should not use the sedative complex in the following cases:

• Individual intolerance to plant components, ethanol;
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding;
• Taking the complex is prohibited for children under 14 years of age;
• Low pressure.

Exceeding the dosage is manifested by the following symptoms:

• nausea;
• headache;
• general weakness.

Who is it suitable for?

Of course, the remedy is not a panacea, and in cases of severe neuroses, serious disorders and pathologies of the central nervous system, it will not give a positive result. Here we need “heavy artillery” in the form of serious sedative synthetic drugs that are aimed at treating specific, serious pathologies.
A “cocktail” of herbal tinctures will not work for mild disorders and some emotional lability. If you get a little (just a little!) emotional while watching a movie, this is normal and such a state most often does not require taking sedatives. As a last resort, you can drip yourself a little of one herbal tincture.

A mixture of soothing tinctures will be a salvation for those who are exhausted by constant stress, for anyone who cannot sleep for a long time, for those whose emotional state ranges from irritation and aggression to apathetic and depressive states.

Zelenin drops: indications for use, composition

Who needs to take the product? What does the drug help with? The range of indications is quite extensive:

• gastrointestinal spasms;
• vegetative-vascular dystonia;
• hyperacid gastritis;
• poor appetite;
• cholecystitis, including chronic;
• colic – in the kidneys, liver;
• high nervous excitability;
• sleep disturbances, problems falling asleep;
• heart diseases, neuroses, mainly.

As you can see, the drug is used for a variety of indications. But, perhaps, it is most advisable to take drops for problems of the cardiovascular system, in particular for cardioneuroses accompanied by bradycardia.

For bradycardia

Bradycardia is a disorder of the sinus heart rhythm controlled by the sinus node. At the same time, the rhythm slows down, the heart beats only about 50-30 beats per minute. Symptoms such as pale skin, tremors of the limbs, and sometimes fainting are typical. The causes of bradycardia are varied, but in itself it is not an independent disease, but serves as a symptom of other diseases, for example, the following:

• insufficiency of thyroid function;
• high tone of the parasympathetic nervous system;
• intracranial pressure;
• cerebral hemorrhages;
• poisoning, etc.

Zelenin drops have a normalizing effect on the heart rate, reduce the risk of circulatory disorders, and improve overall well-being

In this case, more attention in treatment should be paid to the underlying disease, since the drops only relieve the symptoms of bradycardia. Take the drug three times a day, 20–25 drops measured with a built-in pipette.

With tachycardia

Tachycardia is the opposite of bradycardia, a condition in which the heart rate exceeds normal. The drug in this case is not only impossible to use, but also dangerous: it increases the heart rate per minute! Taking the drug with this diagnosis can cause death!

An inexpensive and accessible remedy for tachycardia is Corvalol.

With low heart rate

A slow heart rate is a typical sign of bradycardia. Pulse frequency is a value that reflects the number of oscillations of the arterial walls per certain unit of time, more often a minute.

According to this indicator, the pulse is divided into:

• moderate (normal) – with a frequency of 60 to 90 beats per minute;
• rare - less than 60 beats per minute;
• frequent - 90 or more beats per minute.

The drug should be taken only when the pulse is low according to the instructions, 20-25 drops three times a day.

For arrhythmia

Arrhythmia is a violation of the frequency and rhythm of heart contractions. Arrhythmia also includes bradycardia and tachycardia. That is why, before prescribing treatment, the doctor will definitely recommend an ECG. Zelenin drops can only be taken for arrhythmia characterized by bradycardia!

For children

Zelenin drops are prohibited for use by children under 12 years of age, even with diagnosed bradycardia. The drug contains components that can negatively affect the growing body and the baby’s metabolic processes.

It is not prescribed as a sedative in children. There are drugs more adapted for this purpose, which should only be prescribed by the attending physician!

Price

Zelenin drops can confidently be classified as effective budget drugs. They are sold in any pharmacy, and their cost depends on the volume of the bottle: 15 or 25 ml.

The price of 25 mg drops is about 30-70 rubles. Depending on the manufacturer, region, or pharmacy chain, the cost may deviate slightly from this range.

"Corvalol"

The drug has antispasmodic and sedative effects. It is recommended for use in the following cases. As a vasodilator and sedative:

1. Insomnia.
2. Irritability.
3. Autonomic disorders.
4. Neurological disorders.
5. Hypochondria syndrome.
6. Diseases of the cardiovascular system (hypertension, tachycardia).

As an antispasmodic:

• diseases and disorders of the gastrointestinal tract (colon diseases, biliary colic).

Contraindications for use:

• severe liver/renal failure,
• lactation,
• individual sensitivity.

How to take a mixture of soothing tinctures of valerian, motherwort, peony, hawthorn

All of these listed tinctures are sold in pharmacies, they are always in stock and cost a penny.

Usually the volume in bottles with tinctures is the same, and we need to take them equally.

We pour the tinctures of valerian, motherwort, peony, hawthorn into one jar, add Corvalol (or chestnut tincture) there. Close the lid tightly and our medicinal soothing mixture is ready. This cocktail is medicinal.

It should be stored in a dark place at room temperature.

I usually pour part of the mixture into a Corvalol bottle with a dosed cap, it’s more convenient to use.

How to drink a mixture of tinctures

You need to take a mixture of tinctures, 30 drops dissolved in 50 ml (one quarter glass) of water. It is not advisable to eat within half an hour after taking it.

The number of doses per day depends on your condition. Sometimes once in the morning or only in the evening before bed is enough.

But most often it is recommended to drink a mixture of tinctures 3 times a day.

I drink in the morning and evening, since it’s not very convenient to do this during the day at work.

The duration of use is from one to two weeks (just one bottle of Corvalol taken twice a day is enough for two weeks) to a month.

In principle, there are no time limits, only to avoid addiction, you should take a week’s break after a month of use and take into account contraindications.

Contraindications

Since sedative tinctures containing alcohol are used, it is natural that they are contraindicated for people with alcohol addiction, children, pregnant and lactating women.

People whose profession requires special attention should use it with caution, as the mixture of tinctures has a strong sedative effect. And as you probably noticed, since hawthorn and motherwort can lower blood pressure with long-term use, these tinctures are undesirable, or at least they should not be used for a long time and regularly by people with low blood pressure

And as you probably noticed, since hawthorn and motherwort can lower blood pressure with long-term use, these tinctures are undesirable, or at least they cannot be used for a long time and regularly by people with low blood pressure.

The mixture is not indicated for bradycardia.

Naturally, moderation must be observed, as everywhere and in everything. If the mixture of tinctures is consumed excessively, the reaction may be the opposite: instead of calming, excessive agitation will appear.

In addition, you need to take into account that there may be individual intolerance or allergy to certain components. Therefore, if you have never used any of them before, it would be good to test them separately and in pairs first.

When are mixtures recommended?

Peony, motherwort, hawthorn and valerian mixed together can help with many diseases. Regular use relieves the following problems:

• tachycardia;
• hypertension;
• migraine;
• dizziness;
• noise in ears;
• insomnia;
• neurosis;
• stress;
• depression;
• muscle spasms;
• convulsions.

Treatment with herbal tinctures is advisable for cerebrovascular accidents. It reduces irritability, heart rate, shortness of breath and emotional agitation.

What are Morozov drops

The medicine belongs to the pharmacological subgroup of sedatives. It has a sedative, hypotensive, antispasmodic effect on the cardiovascular and nervous systems. The drops are named after the doctor who decided to combine the benefits of several natural tinctures and extracts in one medicine. The drug accumulates in the body, so the maximum effect is achieved a week after the start of use. Shelf life before opening is 3 years. Once the drops are opened, they should be used for no more than 2 weeks.

Compound

The basis is simple ingredients that you can mix yourself. Many people prepare a sedative at home by purchasing the necessary ingredients and combining them in the required proportions. The following components are used to make sedative drops:

• valerian tincture – 2 parts;
• Corvalol – 4-5 drops;
• peppermint – 3-4 drops;
• hawthorn tincture – 1 part;
• motherwort tincture – 2 parts.

Options for drops with the addition of diphenhydramine are recommended to be purchased only after consulting a doctor. This tincture has many contraindications; drops can cause unwanted side effects. If you prepare Morozov’s tincture at home, you need to take a dark glass bottle and measure out all the components in the required proportions. The medicine can be used immediately after mixing; storing drops for a long time is not recommended.

Indications for use

According to experts, Morozov’s tincture is not a serious medicine. When prescribing, the stage of the disease is taken into account: it is better to use them when the first symptoms are just noticed. Here are the main indications for the use of drops:

• stressful conditions;
• nervous excitability, anxiety;
• initial stage of hypertension;
• vegetative-vascular dystonia;
• cardiopalmus;
• neuroses;
• sleep disorders;
• relapses of cardiovascular diseases.

The drug, taken according to the instructions, quickly relieves irritability, nervousness, and relieves anxiety. The composition of Morozov's tincture is recognized as gentle and effective. Absorbed in the stomach, the drops begin to act within a few minutes. If after taking there is no effect (the pressure does not decrease, the excitement does not go away), you need to inform the doctor that the drug is ineffective. In this case, Morozov’s tincture will be replaced with a stronger medicine.

Contraindications

The composition of Morozov drops includes natural extracts and tinctures. The finished drug and the ingredients for its preparation (except for diphenhydramine) are sold in pharmacies without a prescription from a doctor. However, this does not mean that there are no contraindications for the use of drops. You can’t drink Morozov’s tincture:

• children under 14 years of age;
• patients with allergies to the drug;
• hypotensive people

The drops contain alcohol, so the drug is not recommended for use by persons with alcohol dependence

During lactation and pregnancy, drops are prescribed with extreme caution, as well as during pregnancy. For children under 18 years of age, a cocktail of medications is used under the supervision of a physician.

If the recommendations are not followed, an overdose occurs, which can be determined by the following symptoms:

• decreased heart rate;
• hypotension;
• dizziness;
• lethargy;
• drowsiness;
• nausea and vomiting.

Unique properties of peppermint

In addition to the incredibly fresh aroma of mint, the medicine has unique healing properties. The leaves of this plant contain useful substances such as ascorbic acid, menthol and carotene. The medicinal herb can relieve spasms during colic, stop the development and growth of pathogenic microorganisms, eliminate allergic skin reactions, disinfect surfaces, relieve headaches caused by worries and stress, and increase performance.

You can purchase mint infusion at the pharmacy or prepare it yourself. To do this, crushed fresh leaves of the aromatic herb are poured with alcohol in a ratio of one to two and left in the refrigerator.

The effect of sedatives on the body

Sedatives are often prescribed in combination therapy with other medications. Many of them have an antispasmodic effect and eliminate problems with the gastrointestinal tract: diarrhea and flatulence.

Sedatives are prescribed to:

• improve sleep;
• reduce exposure to stress;
• regulate the activity of the heart.

Preparations based on natural herbs affect the human body depending on their composition:

1. Valerian reduces heart rate, increases bile secretion, and reduces spasms.
2. Motherwort relaxes, improves sleep and heart rate.
3. Passionflower relieves tremors, makes sleep deep and calm, and makes it easier to fall asleep.
4. Melissa thins mucus, reduces fever, relieves nausea during toxicosis, and soothes itching.

Synthetic drugs affect the cerebral cortex, increasing inhibition processes in it. These drugs may cause a runny nose, rash, decreased memory, and lethargy.

Lethargy may occur after taking certain synthetic drugs

Important! Sometimes a sedative excites a person. He is seized with panic, he is nervous, afraid, flinches from sharp sounds, cannot stand noise

Therefore, it is important to consult a doctor before starting to take medications.

Medicines for children make babies calmer. They reduce excitability, improve concentration, and contribute to the normal development of the child.

Harm and contraindications

Peony, hawthorn, valerian or motherwort are anti-stress for the body. Their use in the recommended dosage cannot cause harm, given the existing contraindications. The use of drugs is prohibited:

Advertising:

• pregnant women;
• during lactation;
• children under 12 years old.

Medicines should not be mixed with alcohol. The course of therapy has a calming effect and reduces a person’s concentration. During treatment, you should refrain from driving a car and performing work that requires clarity of reaction. Mixing tinctures is not recommended if you have low blood pressure.

An important contraindication for the use of peony, valerian, motherwort and other extracts is individual intolerance.

Due to the fact that this drug is made exclusively from natural preparations, its effect on the patient’s body is explained solely by their medicinal characteristics. So, here's what we can say about each of them:

The intensity of contraction of the heart muscle, as well as an increase in the purity of its work, is ensured, first of all, by the presence of lily of the valley tincture in the preparation. This is called cardiotonic effect.

As for the belladonna leaf, due to its content in the composition of the drug, we can talk about an antispasmodic as well as an anticholinergic effect. In addition, this ingredient contributes to a noticeable decrease in the secretory level of the pancreas, as well as glands such as sweat, lacrimal, gastric, bronchial and salivary glands. In addition, the use of this component in Zelenin drops allows to reduce the outflow of intraocular fluid, as well as increase intraocular pressure.

The presence of menthol provides a local irritant effect. This component also acts as a reflex, analgesic and antianginal agent.

Sedative (calming) and antispasmodic effects are achieved due to the presence of an ingredient such as valerian rhizomes in the “Zelenin Drops” tincture. Thanks to the presence of valerian, sleep improves, the process of falling asleep is normalized and accelerated. Despite the fact that the manifestation of the calming effect itself is somewhat slow and occurs gradually, it is stable and very long-term. In addition, thanks to the presence of valerian roots, it becomes possible to improve the secretory function of the stomach and intestines.
