Kalms
Kalms is a brand of herbal medicine that is commonly used to treat symptoms of stress and anxiety. The main active ingredient in Kalms is Valerian root, a herb that has been used for centuries to promote relaxation and sleep.
History[edit | edit source]
Kalms was first introduced in the UK in the 1970s by Lanes Health, a company that specializes in natural healthcare products. The brand has since expanded to include a range of products, including Kalms Day, Kalms Night, and Kalms Lavender One-A-Day Capsules.
Uses[edit | edit source]
Kalms is primarily used to relieve symptoms of mild anxiety and stress. The Valerian root in Kalms is believed to have a calming effect on the body's nervous system, helping to reduce feelings of stress and promote relaxation. Some people also use Kalms to help with sleep problems, as Valerian root is known to aid sleep.
Side Effects[edit | edit source]
Like all medicines, Kalms can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Common side effects include headaches, upset stomach, and feelings of drowsiness. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, you should stop taking Kalms and consult your doctor.
Precautions[edit | edit source]
Before taking Kalms, it is important to read the product information leaflet and follow the recommended dosage instructions. Kalms should not be taken by children under the age of 12, or by pregnant or breastfeeding women without medical advice. If you are taking any other medication, you should consult your doctor before taking Kalms to avoid potential drug interactions.
