For minor sleep disorders
For recurrent sleep disturbances, we recommend you also take the EuphytoseNuit dietary supplement, which contains melatonin and passionflower. This formula is better suited to reducing the time it takes to fall asleep.
Euphytose® is composed of 4 active ingredients
Insomnia is the reduction in the usual duration of sleep and/or the impairment of sleep quality, with repercussions on the quality of the next day's sleep.
During the night, the quantity of sleep is reduced by difficulties in falling asleep, nocturnal awakenings and waking up too early in the morning.
Sleep is experienced as light and unrestful. The next day is difficult, with complaints of fatigue, drowsiness and irritability, often accompanied by mood disorders.
There are various explanations for sleep disorders. Environmental factors (noise, heat, etc.), unhealthy lifestyles (too much activity in the evening, coffee or alcohol abuse), inadequate work schedules (night shifts or shift work), an associated organic disease that disrupts sleep (asthma, angina, peptic ulcer, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, etc.) or the use of stimulant medications (theophylline, salbutamol, cortisone, beta-blockers ....) are often at the root of sleep disorders.
This type of sleep disorder accounts for 15-20% of insomnia. It is an insomnia that appears without any obvious cause. It generally follows insomnia with an identifiable cause: after surgery, the birth of a child, major psychological stress, a shift-work schedule...
There is a negative conditioning to insomnia, which translates into a paradoxical activation of the waking systems as soon as the person goes to bed. This results in fear of not sleeping, tension or anxiety at bedtime, spontaneous falling asleep when sleep is not sought (in front of the TV, etc.), and the impossibility of taking a nap to recover.

Health education advice
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, however, this adaptation is more difficult, and signs of mild but troublesome 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) ;
- sleep disturbances ;
- irritability or changes in temperament;
- various temporary pains.
Persistent anxiety states require the help of a doctor to diagnose and analyze the cause(s). Even in such cases, 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 should you consult your doctor?
If your symptoms don't improve after two weeks of treatment, or if you have any doubts about your state of health, you should consult a doctor, who will suggest an appropriate course of treatment.
5 rules to combat stress :
- Don't hide your worries, express them: talk to someone you trust;
- Every day, set aside a special time for a relaxing activity or hobby, even if it only lasts an hour;
- Set aside time to spend with family and friends;
- Make plans for outings (theater, cinema, restaurant, etc.) or vacations.
- Ensure a balanced diet and regular mealtimes.
Minor sleep disorders :
Tips for a good night's sleep:
Exercise during the day:
- Even moderate physical activity (walking, cycling) helps to increase the need for sleep at night;
- Outdoor activities in daylight help regulate your sleep;
- From late afternoon onwards, avoid stimulants such as tobacco, coffee, tea and caffeinated soft drinks;
- Eat a light dinner and avoid eating meat or drinking alcohol.
Prepare your night well before bedtime:
- The evening should be devoted to relaxing activities that you enjoy; too much mental tension will interfere with the onset of sleep at bedtime;
- In particular, avoid intense physical or intellectual activity in the 2 hours before bedtime;
- Go to bed when you feel sleepy; in bed, read for 10 to 15 minutes before switching off the light.
Your day is prepared at night:
- Go to bed at a fixed time; you fall asleep according to biological rhythms that must be respected. Regular bedtime helps the body to set and maintain its natural rhythms;
- Sleep in a room where the temperature is not too high. A temperature of 18°C, neither too hot nor too cold, makes it easier to fall asleep, limits night-time awakenings and promotes restful sleep.
11 rules for a good night's sleep:
- In the morning, try to get up regularly at the same time;
- Get out into the fresh air during the day;
- Try to engage in even 30 minutes of moderate physical activity every day;
- Avoid naps lasting more than half an hour or too late (after 4 p.m.);
- Don't drink coffee, tea, caffeinated soft drinks or tobacco after snack time;
- Eat a light dinner at least 2 hours before bedtime;
- Take part in relaxing activities after dinner;
- Avoid a hot shower or bath before bedtime, preferring lukewarm temperatures;
- In the evening, try to go to bed regularly at the same time;
- In your bedroom, lower the temperature to 18°C, and keep the environment light-free;
- Get up when you can't sleep and when you wake up earlier.

Troubles digestifs.
Exceptionnellement : hépatite, réaction allergique cutanée (urticaire, démangeaisons).
Inflammation du foie. Elle peut être due à un médicament, à un virus, à l'alcool ou à une autre cause.
Les hépatites virales guérissent généralement sans traitement. Contrairement aux hépatites A et E presque toujours bénignes, les hépatites B et C peuvent devenir chroniques : le virus persiste dans l'organisme du malade qui reste contagieux mais ne souffre pas obligatoirement de troubles hépatiques. L'hépatite chronique est dite active lorsque le virus continue à détruire les cellules du foie, destruction traduite par l'augmentation des transaminases dans le sang.

Incapacité du foie à remplir sa fonction, qui est essentiellement l'élimination de certains déchets, mais également la synthèse de nombreuses substances biologiques indispensables à l'organisme : albumine, cholestérol et facteurs de la coagulation (vitamine K, etc.).
Méthode de traitement fondée sur l'utilisation des plantes.

Réaction due à l'hypersensibilité de l'organisme à un médicament. Les réactions allergiques peuvent prendre des aspects très variés : urticaire, œdème de Quincke, eczéma, éruption de boutons rappelant la rougeole, etc. Le choc anaphylactique est une réaction allergique généralisée qui provoque un malaise par chute brutale de la tension artérielle.
Consultez l'article : Peut-on être allergique aux médicaments ?
Ensemble de symptômes traduisant une irritation ou un mauvais fonctionnement du tube digestif. Un ou plusieurs troubles peuvent être présents : nausées, vomissements, aérophagie, douleurs abdominales, brûlures d'estomac, ballonnements, flatulences, diarrhée ou constipation, etc. Les antibiotiques peuvent favoriser les candidoses, souvent responsables de troubles digestifs.
Éruption de boutons sur la peau, dont l'origine est le plus souvent allergique. Les boutons ressemblent à des piqûres d'orties et leur couleur varie du rose pâle au rouge. L'urticaire peut apparaître ou disparaître en quelques minutes, et provoque d'intenses démangeaisons ; elle peut être localisée ou généralisée à la totalité de la surface cutanée.
