Homeopathic Remedy for Nervous Tension

Please note:  Product names used by Dr. Walker are listed below.

           Bruxism is a grinding of the teeth, which often causes excessive wear and tear of the biting surfaces or cusps of the teeth. It frequently occurs at night and the person often is unaware they are doing it. It is often loud enough that a family member notices it. Mouth guards can be very helpful and prevent further damage to the teeth. However, children’s jaws are constantly growing and therefore, a mouth guard is not recommended.

       Nutritional interventions include restoring a proper calcium/magnesium balance. Muscle spasm often comes from inadequate amounts of both minerals or too much calcium compared to magnesium. Giving more magnesium than calcium and relaxation herbs such as passionflower and valerian root can provide dramatic improvement.

       The nutrition brand (Metagenics) that I use in my Health Coaching practice has two levels of muscle support formulas. One has the added benefit of hops and kava for a more intensive relaxation effect. Homeopathic remedies for nervous tension can also have a calming effect and are usually safe to use with children and pregnant women. Check the label to be sure.
