The Tila being a non-toxic plant can be safely used as a sedative. It has no adverse side effects such as some Anxiolytic drugs.

The Tila has several mechanisms by which it can decrease your anxiety levels. Some are: it modulates the transmission of Serotonin, the neurotransmitter that makes you feel good and happy, and intervenes in the transmission of GABA, which is the main neurotransmitter that relaxes your nervous system. It has the vital benefits of lemongrass essential oil. In addition to providing a calming effect, lemongrass oil also provides healing of inflammations, relieves the itching of the skin, reduces tension and anxiety.

When using the Tila to relax the central nervous system it can also be used to achieve sleep and fight insomnia.

Several studies agree that the mechanisms of Tila that help combat insomnia are the modulation of serotonin and GABA, in addition to the neuronal protection that the Tila offers by its antioxidant components.

~ Aromatherapy ~

Another way in which you can benefit from all the properties of the Tila is through Aromatherapy, You can relax by placing honey or lavender oil on pulse areas, behind the ears, on the wrists, behind the knees, or by placing it in an oil burner to aromatize a room.

The Tila is a good option to help you decongest and flush the airways. Drink tea with lemon and lime honey as well with the flu.

~ Therapeutic Agent for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease ~

Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease are the consequence of oxidative damage to cells, this increases the damage that normally occurs at the brain level in people older than 65 years. The extracts of Tila, being antioxidants have been proposed as therapeutic agents.

In a study conducted in 2015 in Korea, it was found that 5 components of the Tila protect against oxidative damage in neuronal diseases.

~ Helps Fight Anxiety and Depression ~

Chamomile, whether in tea, tincture, or essential oil form, is one of the best medicinal herbs for fighting stress and promoting relaxation, according to research. It helps to calm nerves and reduce anxiety because its vapors travel directly to the olfactory part of the brain, turning off tension and reducing the body’s stress response. Smells are carried directly to the brain, and they serve as an emotional trigger. The limbic system evaluates the sensory stimuli, registering pleasure, pain, danger, or safety; this then directs our emotional response, such as feelings of fear, anger, and attraction. Our basic emotions and hormonal balance are in response to the most basic smell. Hawthorn also has a very mild sedative effect, which may help decrease anxiety symptoms. The blend of essential oils can improve self-esteem, build mental health, and relieve anxiety and emotional disorders

~ Helps Reduce Stress ~

Spearmint tea may help promote relaxation and reduce stress.

In fact, in South American countries, this tea is commonly used to treat stress and insomnia. Additionally, the leaves of this plant contain menthol, which has a relaxing, sedative effect on the body.

It’s believed that spearmint promotes relaxation and alleviates stress by interacting with GABA receptors in your brain. GABA is a neurotransmitter involved in reducing nerve activity.
