The doctor explained that these drugs may haveunpleasant and even dangerous side effects. Corvalol can be addictive, and it will not be easy to give it up. A withdrawal syndrome may even begin, which is manifested by anxiety, trembling, increasing weakness throughout the body, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, sleep disturbance, and the development of fainting. And in severe cases, convulsions, delirium - clouding of consciousness are possible.

Valerian can be dangerous if used incorrectly and cause panic attacks and permanent insomnia.

The expert also explained that herbal teas shouldappoint a doctor, because they have many contraindications. For example, eleutherococcus, ginseng, peony, maral root are dangerous for hypertensive patients, oregano and thyme - in the first trimester of pregnancy and children. And there are many such contraindications.

At the same time, Kapninskaya noted that there are healthy teas - from rose hips, thanks to the vitamin C contained in it, or a collection of blackberry and raspberry leaves.

“It is worth noting that it is better to give preference to pharmacy fees prescribed by a doctor,” the therapist recommended.
