If a woman says secondary dysmenorrhea , Then the pain during menstruation is associated with gynecological diseases. Primary dysmenorrhea is diagnosed, usually teenagers, whereas the secondary form of the disease observed more frequently in older women.

In primary dysmenorrhea very painful periods have been reported in women after about half a year after the first menstruation, at a time when the body gradually begin   ovulatory cycles . Besides the fact that the girl observed heavy and painful periods, with the onset of menstruation, and in more rare cases - the day before it began to appear and other symptoms. This aching cramping pain in the abdomen, which sometimes gives to the rectum, bladder. In addition to being painful menstruation pass Woman may feel sick, there is vomiting, headaches, irritability, bloating, and others.

At compensated form pain during menstruation is stable for a long time. At uncompensated form disease over time, the intensity of pain and symptoms during menstruation gradually increased if treatment had been taken.

Dysmenorrhea in older women is shown in each case differently. Sometimes the condition is so severe that to figure out why a lot of pain during menstruation observed in each cycle, a woman is forced by a specialist. Some women lie in pain before menstruation. However, most often concerned about pain in dysmenorrhea during menstruation, having the character of labor. They can be cutting, stabbing, aching.

The cure for obesity found in muscle tissue

Receiving one tablet replaces hour visit to the gym! With the opening of the Boston researchers from the Cancer Institute Dana-Farber dream of millions of people can be realized within a few years.

Biologist Bruce Spiegelman and MD Pontus Bostrom found a way, how to turn a "harmful" white fat into useful "brown." Hormone synthesized them into muscle tissue, was the best cure for obesity in the history of science. However, while experiments with irisinom performed only on mice.

Discovered by scientists hormone irisin (named after the ancient Greek messenger of the gods), converting fat cells rasschiplyaet fat reserves, it releases energy and helps the body's normal thermoregulation. It reduces the level of glucose in the blood, thus protecting from obesity.
"Brown" is derived from body fat at elevated fiznagruzki. But injections iristina significantly accelerate this process. The researchers tested the effect of the hormone in the obese mice. He really helped them lose weight. No side effects, experts have not noticed. A hormone secreted by mice is very similar to a human, so further research by American scientists interested people from all over the world.
"Pioneers" iristina already received funds for its further study. National Institute of Health gave them $ 34 million.

"If the injection does contribute to the transformation of white fat to brown, we get the full" magic pill "- agrees with Western scientists Russian expert on the treatment of obesity Ekaterina Alexandrova. - But even if foreign colleagues successfully test this hormone in the human body, it will be years before cure for obesity will be ready. In addition, he will most likely be a lot of side effects, so it is seriously count on salvation from illness, I do not advise it. "

Obese or overweight is characterized by excessive body fat. This fat is deposited literally everywhere: in the subcutaneous tissue around the kidneys, on the surface of the heart, in the abdomen, in the neck.
Obesity is a serious health hazard. In addition, overweight people have serious psychological problems, because our society is focused on the cult of slimness, thinness. This especially affects women and teenagers of both sexes.

Dangerous toxins in fruits and vegetables

Doctors recommend to enter into the food as much as possible vegetables and fruit, but that it can lead to contamination of the body with plenty of toxins. Fatal role pesticides are used for growing plants.

To find out what fruits and vegetables accumulate in the largest number of harmful substances, researchers conducted laboratory studies. The top five toxic leaders as follows:

- Peaches and nectarines. It contains the largest number of toxic Taken now for a hundred percent.

- Strawberries - one of the most dangerous products. Environmentalists generally advised not to buy it in the shops, even at the height of the season.

cherry

- Apricots

- Bell pepper

- Celery.

The use of these products, according to scientists, will provide entry into the body of at least ten types of harmful pesticides   daily.

Scientists say that the majority of cancers is caused by the ingestion of large amounts of chemicals. Eating foods containing pesticides Very bad for everyone. But above all, it is dangerous for children. If the calculation is the way it is done in determining the dose of the poison that is based on the ratio of the amount of food intake with weight with the weight of a child or an adult, the result would be that the first to receive much more toxic Than the latter. Plus, due to the fact that the cells in the body divide growing very fast, the harmful effect of poisons spread with great speed.

Americans have investigated baby food for the presence of pesticides in it. They found that all the familiar fruit and berry concentrates contain a large number of them. This is a product that is recommended for feeding the children!

The law provides for maximum levels of pesticides in the body. It is calculated by laboratory tests on animals. But it is necessary to take into account the fact that during the tests it is added to food only one or two chemical. And we, in contrast to the experimental mice eat more diverse. Therefore, for one meal, our body can get much more harmful substances. Most likely, no one has studied the effects of the penetration of the stomach together different types of pesticides . Also, doubts arise about the timing of animal experiments. After all, scientists determine a short-term effect, but not long-term exposure to chemicals. It is common knowledge that all the toxic substances tend to accumulate in the body. Therefore, one can only guess what kind of damage they cause not only now but in the future, and the health of how many generations will affect peaches eaten today.

There are specialty stores that offer fruits and vegetables, which are grown without chemical additives. Abroad, they have long been common, we trade in environmental products - in its infancy. But it is possible to grow organic products on their summer cottage.

Zoo color

Kids love to communicate with their peers. Summer - the most favorable time for this: camps, cottages, guest houses, holiday homes - anywhere your child can find friends. As a rule, do not interfere with the mother, and even encouraged. But not all new acquaintances can be helpful.

Close communication with peers may be the cause   lice in children : A child from the camp not only bring a lot of impressions, but head lice.

Infection head lice   or lice in children Unfortunately, not uncommon. At risk are not only children from disadvantaged families in which, for obvious reasons, did not observe basic rules of personal hygiene. The risk for all children at all. You can become infected:
- During a joint walk,
- Using comb patient
- Putting on his hat,
- On the train, when to sleep on a pillow, which previously lay sick lice.

Cases the importation of head Lice children   of children's summer camps or schools. There are cases of infection in the sauna, swimming pool, solarium, and even when using a public toilet.

If the immune system is weakened, the probability of infection head lice in children increases. It may well be that in a family with several children, lice can become sick one, the most weak and sickly child.

Can the lice jump?

Head lice - are small wingless insects that are easily passed from person to person. They are inactive, reproduce by laying eggs, the nits (three pieces per day) and feed exclusively on human blood (2-4 times a day), drinking at a time to 0, 001 ml. Life expectancy lice - 24 days. They can not

jumping and jumping, and distributed only by direct contact with contaminated objects.

Unlike bugs (who do not live on the body) or pathogens scabies (dwelling under the skin), lice clearly visible at any time. Therefore, people have noticed in myself some insects, most likely found lice - and that human lice.

These different lice

Head lice   They live on the scalp, where it's warm and there's food. Body lice are very similar to the head, live in the folds of clothing and bedding. Crablouse   - A tiny (only 1-3 mm) yellow-gray parasite under the microscope is very similar to a small crab. It can be seen with the naked eye - a small grain of the hair at the base. Most often it settles in hairy areas of the skin around the genitals, but sometimes it can dwell and armpits, eyebrows and eyelashes.

The latter type of lice - pubic lice -   usually occurs only in adults, although there may be exceptions, because they can be infected not only by sexual contact, but also, for example, to sleep in bed with an infected parent.

Louse-traveler

From the moment of infection until the first signs of the disease can take several weeks. After moving to a new host, the louse proboscis pierces the skin. Her salivary glands produce a special enzyme that digests the blood and at the same time does not allow it to clot.

Deferred eggs, nits, like white or whitish ovals, female strengthens the hair so that it is impossible to wash them with water. After some time of these eggs hatch new lice.

I must say that head lice   quietly moved around the human body.

How to recognize and prevent head lice in children

The surest sign: itching of the skin due to its mechanical damage. Besides the saliva of the parasite - quite a strong allergen. The child begins to itch constantly, and on the site of the bite wounds, scratches appear.

Make it a rule once a week to inspect the scalp of your child, and if he's back from summer camp or kindergarten, it should be made mandatory, not relying on a full-time nurse.

If the child care during the medical examination found cases of head lice, treat the scalp of the child with special means for prevention. The same must be done if the lice have been found in some of the family members.

Lice treatment for children

Funds for Lice Treatment   a large number of: various creams, sprays, ointments.
Lice Treatment It lasts about 10 days. But be careful: even if all the lice are killed, may remain nits, lice which will come back.

To avoid this, you need to carefully comb your hair and clothes and bed linen, towels, baby lice patient should be boiled and moist ironed hot iron.

Should treat all members of the family, however, things boil too, does not interfere. Medications appoint a local pediatrician.

Viral hepatitis C.   - Anthroponotic disease caused by a virus and parenteral damage. The most commonly takes the form of Acute   or chronic   (most often) inflammation of the liver . Many people call this disease "affectionate", as it is usually the symptoms are very similar to other diseases. According to statistics, there are supposedly the world's 500 million people suffering from or being carriers of hepatitis C virus

Nature of hepatitis C is multifactorial. There hepatitis primary   - The nature of the virus, and hepatitis secondary That occur against other diseases. As noncommunicable (such as diseases of the digestive system, various blood disease , and toxicosis pregnant ), And infectious ( Infectious mononucleosis . sepsis . intestinal infections . adenoviral infection ) Diseases.

There is a kind of disease as   acute hepatitis C . It is the result of interaction between different toxic drugs, toxic waste from industry, contaminated with radiation, poison pale toadstool.

Statistical data and observations of doctors say that in the coming year, hepatitis C virus, unfortunately, will be a major challenge for the health care structures. Most of humanity is exposed to the disease and its spread is gaining fast paced growth in the number of infected people.

Of all the diseases that affect just the liver, hepatitis C is the major threat to mankind. As already mentioned, the causative agent of diseases such as hepatitis C, a virus, and it has its own etiology . He refers to the family Flaviviridae It has its own shell and has a diameter of 60-70 nm. If microscopic diagnosis on the surface of the viral envelope is very clearly visible bumps and ridges height of 6-7 nm. Very unstable pathogen to the effects of the environment.

The main way of infection is parenteral Ie biomaterial infected person, in this case, the blood enters the blood stream of another, noninfected. In this case, possible contamination. With the flow of blood the virus enters the liver and begins to multiply. The disease is not only due to the metabolic products of the virus and the immune system itself, lymphocytes It destroys infected liver cells. Infection is possible with the manipulation of parenteral (injection, patch testing for drugs in dental services), as in some other cases, such as when applied to the skin tattoos, piercings, provision of hairdressing services. Very few cases of infection, disease such as hepatitis C, sexually. Infection via these routes is 15%. Basically it transmitted by sexual contact and hepatitis B virus, but other groups - Hepatitis B .

Very often, after the virus is absolutely nothing happens, i.e., no disease onset and clinical symptoms. The infected person becomes a carrier of the virus, but most hepatitis C had not been observed. Vector control, in turn, will know that they are infected during a blood test for the virus of hepatitis C. Some did not know about his infection. It so happens that the carriers of the disease and live for 50-60 years, being in absolute ignorance.

Symptoms of hepatitis C virus

From the time of infection and before the appearance of first clinical symptoms may take from 3 to 27 weeks. The first clinical symptoms as acute joint pain . indigestion . weakness   and malaise . The symptoms of hepatitis C are characteristic only for the initial period, which lasts about 2-9 weeks. Usually acute hepatitis C is no different appearance jaundice Because neither in the initial period of the disease or its later manifestations are not noticeable. Also it is not typical for this form of hepatitis and hyperthermia . The temperature rise is hepatitis B. In the early stages of the disease, if time does not make a diagnosis and begin immediate treatment - very high risk of progression of the disease in a chronic stage that is fraught with cirrhosis And in the worst case, and liver cancer . If you suspect a chronic hepatitis C, the main symptoms usually are increased fatigue and mental depression . They are caused by the influence of metabolic products of the hepatitis C virus in the body's nervous system.

Diagnosis of viral hepatitis C

When making the decision, and a diagnosis that a person is ill with such a disease like hepatitis C is much easier if the doctor has a complete and accurate information about all previous surveys, and human diseases.

As practice shows, people generally know they have hepatitis C, while donating blood or in the process, when they pass the usual examination.

Be sure to go through all the tests and pass all the tests to identify your body hepatitis C if:

• if the blood is bad, that is, some of the symptoms are not very healthy condition of the liver. The ability to use donor services, and received donated blood from a person who has hepatitis C;
• using non-sterile syringes, no matter when it was, even if it was many years ago;
• if you are working in institutions where people are treated with this disease, and you come in contact with the blood of these people, or a syringe that stabbed them, or have contact with other body fluids of patients with hepatitis C people;
• If your sexual partner is a list of people with hepatitis C;
• if your kidneys were failing in normal operation, and they passed through the apparatus of the filtering process, the so-called hemodialysis .

Diagnosis of hepatitis C includes a number of studies, health workers take blood tests, so-called " liver function tests ". In the laboratory, microscopic and bacterioscopic by watching the activity of "liver" enzymes. Also conducted research for the presence of markers of hepatitis C virus infection in addition to all of the above methods can be added and konfirmatsionnogo tests . They allow to distinguish between a false-positive samples from blood samples actually containing antibodies raised to hepatitis C. In these tests, the principle imunnoblota example test RIBA   or Lia TEK HCV .

Before the approval of the patient is really sick with hepatitis C, not any other form of it is also taken into account the real history   ill. Yet, certainly, an ultrasound examination of the liver and spleen for their increase.

Treatment of Hepatitis C

Currently absolute 100% treatment of hepatitis C does not exist. While a few years ago, statistics show that the positive results in the treatment of this disease was only 30-40% of cases. At this point, the same stats had a change for the better and now the industry experts can say with confidence that this number has increased to 50-80%. But with proper treatment and well-planned number of people cured of illnesses that can reach all of 60-90%.

If the results of tests revealed changes in the liver, that is, to detect the disease, the treatment of hepatitis C should not be delayed.

The maximum effective results can give the use of combination antiviral therapy. As part of the preparations of this therapy include interferon   and Ribavirin . Individually, these two drugs are less effective. But there are times when the appointment of one of the drugs is contraindicated, then can be assigned to treatment with one drug, called monotherapy.

It should be remembered that the hepatitis C virus rapidly mutates and adapts to the human immune system, so drugs that have been successful in the fight today - tomorrow may not be as effective.

Another practice symptomatic therapy, ie the treatment is aimed at something that would arrest the symptoms of hepatitis C. This removal of mental disorders, and a decrease in fatigue levels by receiving amphetamine . chlorophyllin   et al., as well as enhance the resilience of the immune system. For this purpose, are well suited immunomodulatory drugs , such as fosprenil . Neot . neoferon . ribotan   and others. Also must support suffering liver hepatoprotectors : gepabene . Essentiale forte . phosphogliv . Galstena . But these drugs only support and improve liver function, they have no antiviral effect.

Nowadays, advertising is very influenced by the subconscious. And unfortunately, a lot of advertising medicines, including for the treatment of hepatitis. But do not forget that advertising is not always true. Harm these drugs can not bring, but the benefits would not be so sure. Therefore, do not self-medicate and consult experts who will not give you the help and accurately prescribe, the treatment of hepatitis C, which can help you.

The hardest treatment lends itself to acute and chronic hepatitis C in people older than 40 years, and especially in men. It is also quite difficult to achieve positive results in the treatment of this disease with prolonged duration of it in the human body.

There are times when after treatment with a positive result was not achieved, or it was incomplete. For such cases, there are special schemes and courses of re-treatment. There are new drugs to combat hepatitis C is much more effective and earlier, so there are chances that new drugs will help and give a positive result.

Duration of treatment for hepatitis C in each individual patient and depends on a number of different reasons, and particularly the stage of hepatitis C and nature of the flow in a patient. Treatment of hepatitis C and may last about 12 months.

In the treatment of hepatitis B may be some side effects . Statistics show that it is easy to tolerate treatment mainly young people. Side effects may include such as in the analysis of the blood an easy mark hemolytic anemia That is, the destruction erythrocyte ; as it is easy dyspepsia ; elevated levels in the blood Uric acid ; happens headache ; In rare cases intolerances medicines. In the treatment of interferon, side effects are guaranteed, but they are projected. In the initial stage of treatment the body gets used to the drug in the form of fever, joint pain and muscle aches, sometimes vomiting, and weakness of the body. It takes getting used to for a few days. After that, the body gets used, but tiredness and weakness remains. There are rare cases in which a decrease in interferon treatment of mood may be hair loss, weight loss, depression, dry skin. Therefore, during treatment, be sure you need medical supervision.

Unfortunately, there is a category of people who combined treatment of hepatitis C is contraindicated. These categories include:

• people on sick heart failure Sick diabetes . high blood pressure People with chronic lung disease;
• people who use services and their donor were transplanted lung, heart, kidney;
• People with the disease Thyroid ;
• women during pregnancy ;
• children up to 3 years;
• those who can not tolerate any drug for the treatment of hepatitis C.

Complications of hepatitis C virus

Of course, as in every serious disease complications arise. Because hepatitis C refers to a number of heavy and poorly treatable disease, there is a number of consequences. Some believe that hepatitis C is not a diagnosis, and the sentence. Therefore, the most dangerous and unpleasant complication is considered to psychological problems. This includes features such as: fear of loneliness, fear of infecting loved ones, exacerbated fear of death, and a sense of inferiority. During this period, the patient really needs the support of loved ones in a state of a person simply psychologically and emotionally detached from all the people.

In addition there are a number of psychological problems and other hazards. Complications of hepatitis C virus is often inflammatory and functional diseases of the biliary tract, as well as renal coma Which arises due to necrosis of liver cells. The reason for this coma in that in the blood enter the necrotic liver tissue particles, thus affecting the central nervous system of the organism, that leads to the extinction of the vital functions of the whole organism.

Preventing Hepatitis C

Prevent Hepatitis C is much easier than cure. Therefore, the first and easiest methods and ways of prevention include education and outreach to people. The more a person has information about the illness, the less likely that he will succumb themselves to the risk of the disease.

You should avoid contact with various objects (scissors, razors, manicure sets, etc.) used by the patients with hepatitis C. Also, avoid contact with the patient's blood for hepatitis C.

At present time, unfortunately, a medicament for preventing a disease does not exist. Therefore, prevention of hepatitis C carried out by methods which are reduced to what is necessary to check blood, drug prevention and education work among young people and adolescents, etc.

Analogs Afobazol

Match code ATC 4th level:

• Anvifen
• Phenazepam
• Phenibut
• Stresam
• Noofen
• Tenotome

As with most other popular medications at Afobazol are analogues, that is, drugs similar to it in its pharmacological action, but different composition.

Analogues of the drug are: homeopathic remedy Tenotome . Grandaxinum . Stresam . Mebicar IC . Adaptol . Trankvilar IC .

Price Afobazol analogues varies depending on the manufacturer and the pharmacy. Adaptol For example, several Afobazol cheaper, but just as effective is characterized by low toxicity, it does not cause drowsiness and addiction withdrawal .

What is better - or tenoten Afobazol?

Tenotome   - A homeopathic drug having antidepressant . antiastenicheskim   and anti-anxiety action . Acting on localized predominantly in the cells of the nervous tissue   S-100 protein (a specific protein, responsible for the regulation of intracellular processes) preparation normalizes its functional activity.

As a consequence, respectively, in the body during normal metabolic processes As well as the mechanisms of activation and inhibition CNS . Tenotome   strengthens CNS , Improves memory and increases concentration and, moreover, increases the resistance to the effects of stress factors (including but not limited hypoxia   and intoxication ).

The main advantage of Tenotome   afobazole before is that it can be used as a treatment for adult patients and for the treatment of children (the drug is allowed to designate, starting with 3-hletnego age).

Another plus in favor of the Tenotome   - Is that the drug can be used as sedative , and how nootropics . This combination of properties in a single formulation avoids simultaneously receiving multiple drugs and thereby significantly reduce the pill burden on the patient and to minimize the likelihood of side effects.

Novopassit or Afobazol - which is better?

Novopassit   a sedative drug that is widely used to treat anxiety disorders   and conditions involving mental strain .

If Afobazol is a fully synthetic monocomponent preparation, the Novopassit   - A combination of seven different extracts of medicinal plants and guaifenesin.

Furthermore, unlike Afobazol Novopassit   has miorelaksiruyuschee   and gipnosedativny action .

Afobazol - it tranquilizer Which improves behavioral functions, improves mood and vitality of the body, reduces anxiety. The soothing effect , Which causes the drug, in this case is not the main and side.

Novopassit   The same applies to the group sedative drugs . That is already the name of its pharmacotherapeutic group it becomes clear that he has a pronounced calming effect.

Another difference preparations that appoint Novopassit Patients are allowed to 12 years of age and Afobazol - Only people who have reached 18 years of age.

Given all of the above, it is difficult to give a definite answer to the question of which of the drugs is better: they belong to different groups have different indications, as well as various forms of release (for example,   Novopassit available in tablet form and syrup whereas Afobazol - it only pill).

More correctly the comparison of characteristics such as security products, patient adherence to treatment (compliance), ease of administration, efficiency and price

Both drugs are considered safe, however, the probability allergies   and the reactions of intolerance at the reception Novopassita   in individuals with a history allergoanamnezom   and asthma , Slightly higher than the reception Afobazol.

In appointing Novopassita   also higher and the likelihood of unintended drug interactions (as the components it is much more than afobazole).

Assessing compliance preparations, we can say that here wins Novopassit . It includes only vegetable matter, which is a big plus (especially for seniors).

For ease of receiving competing drugs are roughly the same. The standard regimen of pills Afobazol - one tablet three times a day. Novopassit take two or three pills two or three times a day and two or three tablets just prior stress that is not absolutely not always convenient. However, it is Novopassit   a liquid form of release, which is preferable for many patients.

If you compare the price of drugs, there is definitely a Russian drug much cheaper.

With regard to efficacy, which, actually, is the main evaluation criteria for the majority of patients, everything depends on the individual characteristics of a particular organism, and accurately predict who would suit better, no one can.

What is better - or Grandaxinum Afobazol?

And Afobazol and Grandaxinum   used to treat the same ailments, relieve symptoms similar and are about the same price category.

Reviews of people who took on the testimony Grandaxinum   indicate that:

• the effect of the drug treatment is developing very fast, and the lasting effect is noted after only a few days after the first dose;
• the drug effectively relieves symptoms of nervous tension;
• tablets taste neutral, and reception means does not cause inconvenience and discomfort.

However, reception Grandaxinum   often provokes nausea Many patients also noted some lethargy and   dizziness Which have been especially pronounced when you change position.

Reviews afobazole lead to the conclusion that the latter:

• effective in anxiety states   and helps to cope with unpleasant symptoms PMS ;
• It is characterized as a low-toxic drug and has no significant side effects.

With strong stresses   drug, however, is ineffective. Also, it is almost useless in the treatment of insomnia . Panic Attacks   and deep depression . That is, it is advisable to assign it only in cases where the symptoms of anxiety   or stress   are not pronounced. In severe situations, the effective Grandaxinum .

So, the pros Grandaxinum   - Is its effectiveness with strong stresses   and expressed anxiety states And that its use is permitted even pregnant   women (it is contraindicated only in the first trimester pregnancy ). Less of it is that the drug causes more adverse reactions than its competitor - Afobazol.

What is better - or Persen Afobazol?

Compare Percy   and Afobazol correctly. This is due to the fact that drugs have a completely different structure and a different mechanism of action.

Persen   - It is completely herbal remedy that has a strong sedation And assigned to patients suffering from insomnia   and increased irritability .

The product facilitates falling asleep and relieves anxiety, but it has all the disadvantages and side effects that are inherent to its member medicinal plants.

Thus, during treatment Persenom   in some cases:

• sharply lower figures of blood pressure;
• developing addiction;
• reduced the effectiveness of treatment (sometimes only a few days after initiation of therapy);
• broken chair (particularly frequent constipation), etc.

Generally, Persen   quite difficult to name the drug in spite of the fact that the drug is able to quickly remove vasospasm , Has a relaxing and calming effect on the CNS , The cause of the symptoms it does not eliminate.

Afobazol as a tranquilizer   the point of action, which is realized through a combination of antianxiety and stimulant effects. Hypnotic effect, he is able to trigger only when the dose of the active substance exceed its mid-effective (ED50) at least 40 times.

After a course of treatment in patients Afobazol not only eliminated anxiety   and disappears depression , But also significantly improves memory and attention.

What is better - or Afobazol Adaptol?

Adaptol   prescribed for the treatment of moderately severe pain heart That are not associated with angina To eliminate the constant urge to smoke, neuroses Accompanied by fears . anxiety . irritability   and depression .

Also it is effective in the period Menopause At IRR   and conditions originating in the background oxidative stress . Adaptol   provides easy anxiolytic effect , Significantly reducing fears   and anxiety And, moreover, improves performance functional brain activity .

Upon receiving Adaptol   partially binds with the contained blood erythrocytes And partially - with proteins That allows it to spread rapidly in the body of the patient. So almost immediately after the last starting to feel peace and inner peace.

Action Adaptol   It is not accompanied by relaxation of the skeletal muscles and the change of motor function. The tool does not have a hypnotic, but has the ability to potentiate the effect of drugs prescribed to treat sleep disorders (which can be administered concurrently with these drugs).
