Review
Summary |
Nerves and Tension Tincture is advertised as an organic liquid formula designed to ease feelings of tension and nervousness. The formula contains a blend of herbal extracts and comes in an alcohol-based tincture.
Due to the current influx of products advertised as relieving tension and calming the nerves, consumers have many choices when deciding on purchasing a product to help achieve a more balanced state of mind. In this review, we will take a closer look at the ingredients contained in this tincture and its delivery method to ascertain how effective of a purchase it may be for consumers.

| Ingredients at a Glance |
|
The product contains a blend of herbal extracts, as mentioned above. These include: Scullcap, Skunk Cabbage, Myrrh, Black Cohosh and Cayenne pepper for increasing circulation.
|
| Ingredients in Focus |
|
Skunk Cabbage, as the name implies, is a stinky plant that is also used in herbal medicine. Most commonly it is used to treat asthma and cough symptoms. It should not be used by women who are pregnant or breast feeding.
Myrrh is most commonly used to treat ulcers, sore throats or upset stomachs. It is not recommended for people with high blood pressure or those using any prescription medications.
Black Cohosh is an herb that has become popular for treating mood swings and hot flashes, but has a number of serious side effects associated with it. These include inflammation of the liver, achy joints and abdominal discomfort for some.

| Lifestyle |
|
As mentioned, this product comes in a liquid formula. We were disappointed that the usage instructions are not posted on the website, so it is unclear how often the product should be taken or even what results it will have.
As discussed above, the tincture contains a blend of herbs that could have potentially harmful side effects, particularly due to the inclusion of Black Cohosh. We believe that consumers may be better off seeking products that contain a blend of natural ingredients with no known side effects, such as the mineral lithium.

• Little information given on product
• Many side effects associated with ingredients
|
| Final Thoughts |
|
Overall, we feel that this product is quite similar to others on the market, containing a similar formula and a similar method of delivery. While we appreciate the use of natural herbal extracts – and are pleased that the company uses organic ingredients – we cannot whole heartedly say that this will be the most effective product for consumers due to the lack of research.
We believe that consumers should seek products that contain ingredients with proven effectiveness. The mineral lithium has been shown to elevate the mood when levels are enhanced, and can be particularly effective when combined with the substance Orotate to carrier the mineral for faster absorption. We feel that consumers would benefit most from these types of products.
