What is Sympathyl?
Sympathyl is a herbal sedative preparation combining hawthorn, California poppy herb (Eschscholzia), and magnesium oxide. It has a sedative effect, eliminates anxiety and associated autonomic disorders, tachycardia, and corrects mild forms of sleep disturbance.
How Sympathyl Works
- Hawthorn — triterpin compounds and flavonoids have an antispasmodic effect, selectively expanding the vessels of the heart and brain, and reduce the excitability of the central nervous system and myocardium.
- Eschscholzia (California poppy herb) — has an anxiolytic and sedative effect, shortens the time to falling asleep, and improves the quality of sleep in milder forms of dyssomnia. The alkaloids of the protopin group increase the connection of GABA with receptors in the brain that are sensitive to it.
- Magnesium — improves the regulation of transmembrane metabolism of Na+ and K+, is a Ca2+ antagonist, reduces the ability to conduct excitation through neuromuscular synapses, and has neurosedative, antispasmodic, and anxiolytic effects.
