Muscle Relaxation and A Good Night’s Sleep
As a massage therapist in the day time and a freelance writer at night, you can imagine what kind of trouble I get into with my muscles. Especially my shoulder and neck muscles.
Today my muscle and neck pain prompted me to take a trip to the local health food store. I take anti-depressants and they are VERY important to me. I have found that my sanity relies on them. However, I am reluctant to take other prescription drugs…I figure, the fewer the better. So, I went the natural route. I asked the nice lady who works there if she had any sort of natural muscle relaxer and she pointed me towards this drink mix.
It’s called Natural Calm and a bought a few packets in the Raspberry-Lemon flavor. She told me to mix the powder with water and drink it before bed. It mainly contains magnesium and I’m going to give it a shot.
It can’t hurt.
I’ll follow up tomorrow, when hopefully I’ll be telling you about the best night’s sleep I’ve ever had.
