Health education advice:
In children
The advice of a doctor is necessary before using EUPHYTOSE, coated tablet in children.
In adults
Minor anxiety disorders:
Mild anxiety states are normal reactions to stress in everyday life.
Normally, the body reacts in such a way that the individual adapts. In some cases, this adaptation is more difficult and signs of mild but uncomfortable anxiety may appear. These are most often
- A feeling of a tight throat or a lump in the throat
- Digestive problems (nausea, bloating, heartburn, diarrhea, etc.)
- Sleep disturbances
- Irritability or change of character
- Various temporary pains.
Anxiety states, when they persist, require the help of a doctor in order to diagnose and analyse the cause(s). Even in this case, it is not always necessary to resort to medication. When the symptoms described above are transient and/or immediately related to current concerns, they can be identified on their own.
When to see your doctor?
If there is no improvement after one month of treatment and if your condition remains unchanged or lasts several weeks and is accompanied by unhealthy behaviour (e.g. alcohol), you should consult your doctor. It is essential to consult a doctor who will propose an adapted global treatment.
The 5 rules to fight against stress:
- don't dismiss worries, express them: talk with someone you trust,
- set aside a special time each day to do something relaxing, a leisure activity, even for an hour,
- set aside time to be with your family and friends,
- make plans: outings (theatre, cinema, restaurant, etc.), holidays..
- make sure you eat a balanced diet and eat regularly.
Minor sleep problems:
Tips for sleeping well
Exercise during the day:
- Even moderate physical activity (walking, cycling...) helps to develop the need for sleep at night,
- Outdoor activities, in daylight, help regulate your sleep,
- From the end of the afternoon, avoid excitants such as tobacco or coffee, tea and caffeine-based sodas,
- Eat a light dinner and avoid eating meat or drinking alcohol.
Prepare for your night well before you go to bed:
- The evening should be devoted to relaxing activities that you enjoy; indeed, too much mental tension will interfere with the installation of sleep at bedtime,
- In particular, avoid intense physical or intellectual activity in the two hours before bedtime,
- Lie down when you feel sleepy, in bed, and read for 10 to 15 minutes before turning off the light.
Your day is prepared at night:
- Go to bed at a fixed time; your falling asleep obeys biological rhythms that must be respected. Regularity in bedtime helps the body to set and maintain natural rhythms,
- Sleep at the right temperature. A temperature between 18°C and 25°C, neither too hot nor too cold, makes it easier to fall asleep, limits night-time awakenings and thus favours the onset of restful sleep.
The 10 rules for sleeping well:
- In the morning, try to get up regularly at the same time,
- During the day, get out into the fresh air
- Try to get even 30 minutes of moderate physical activity every day,
- Avoid naps lasting more than half an hour or too late (after 4pm)
- Do not drink coffee, tea, caffeinated soda or tobacco after snack time
- Eat a light meal at least 2 hours before bedtime
- Do some relaxing activities after dinner
- Avoid a very hot shower or bath before going to bed, prefer lukewarm temperatures
- In the evening, try to go to bed regularly at the same time
- In your room, it is neither too hot nor too cold, i.e. between 18°C and 22°C, the environment is without light
- Get up when you can't sleep and when you wake up early.
