New Roots Herbal D-Stress - Anxiety relief from steam-distilled lavender oil. Naturally occurring phytochemicals including linalool and linalyl acetate, are found in lavender oil. Linalool produces a relaxing effect on smooth muscles by inhibiting release of the compound acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that acts within the neuromuscular junction. Simply put, acetylcholine triggers nerves to stimulate muscles; modulation of this compound promotes relaxation. Lavender oil has also been shown to support activity of GABA, the amino acid that regulates and relaxes brain activity. New Roots Herbal D-Stress helps to relieve mental stress, insomnia, and anxiety while promoting restful sleep.
