In today's fast-paced world, finding moments of calm and rest can feel like a luxury. Yet, prioritising sleep and managing stress are essential for overall wellbeing.
If you’re averse to reaching for pills or prescriptions, fortunately, nature offers a treasure trove of remedies to help you unwind and achieve deep, restorative sleep.
Among these, three standout supplements; Cacao, Ashwagandha and Reishi are powerhouses for promoting relaxation, reducing stress and enhancing sleep quality. Here we delve into the best supplements for sleep and reveal how they can help you reclaim your inner peace when taken in combination.
Cacao: nature's blissful indulgence
Not just associated with decadent desserts and indulgent treats, Cacao also boasts a remarkable array of health benefits, including its ability to support relaxation and mood enhancement.
Rich in flavonoids, antioxidants and neurotransmitter precursors like tryptophan, cacao encourages the release of those feel-good neurotransmitters such as serotonin and endorphins. These neurotransmitters play a crucial role in promoting feelings of relaxation, happiness and stress reduction – as reported in a study.
Moreover, Cacao contains compounds like theobromine and magnesium, which have been found to promote muscle relaxation and support a deeper, more restful sleep.
Ashwagandha: the ancient Ayurvedic adaptogen
Ashwagandha, revered in Ayurvedic medicine as an adaptogenic herb, offers a potent solution for managing stress and promoting relaxation.
When your body faces day-to-day stressors, be they physical, chemical or biological in nature, adaptogens like Ashwagandha help modulate its stress response system and restore balance to the body and mind.
Multiple studies have revealed that Ashwagandha can help reduce cortisol levels (the primary stress hormone), thereby promoting a sense of calm and reducing anxiety. Additionally, ashwagandha has been shown to support healthy sleep patterns by improving sleep latency, duration and quality.
Reishi: the mushroom of tranquility
Like ashwagandha, Reishi mushroom is an adaptogen. Research confirms that Reishi can support healthy sleep patterns – and even treat insomnia - by increasing total sleep time, improving sleep efficiency and reducing wakefulness during the night.
So revered for its wellness-enhancing properties, in traditional Chinese medicine, Reishi is known as the "Mushroom of Immortality". Rich in bioactive compounds like triterpenes, polysaccharides and antioxidants, Reishi helps modulate the stress response, reduce inflammation and promote relaxation.
