This formula has been used traditionally with great success for over thirty years and is used for relieving nervous tension and insomnia. It is helpful in rebuilding the nerves, nerve sheath (protective cover of the nerves) and the nervous system. It is mildly stimulating and yet lessens the irritability and excitement of the nervous system, and also lessons or reduces pain. This formula contains herbs that feed and revitalize the motor nerve at the base of the skull (medulla area and upper cervical), and also herbs that help rebuild or feed the spinal cord. This group of herbs will also rebuild the frayed nerve sheath, the nerve itself, and its capillaries. The following herbs in this combination are food for your valuable and (sometimes) shattered nerves: Black Cohosh, Cayenne (Capsicum), Hops flowers, Lobelia, Skullcap, Valerian, Wood Betony and Mistletoe.
