Muscular tension can be a daily hindrance for many. Acupuncture, massage, chiropractic, physical therapy, proper body mechanics, correct ergonomics, yoga, and pilates are all helpful practices. Herbs can benefit this problem, as well. Element carries many formulas geared towards muscular tension. The three most commonly pulled off the shelf include Myocalm, Myocalm PM, and Serious Relaxer.

MyoCalm is a formula by Metagenics used to ease muscle tension and aid in relaxation. It contains bioavailable forms of calcium and magnesium blended with passionflower and valerian for added relaxation support.

MyoCalm PM adds lemon balm and hops to its original formula, Myocalm, to help promote restful sleep. Both formulas may relieve minor pain associated with muscle tension, which can be caused by stress or physical overexertion. This formula is especially good for those who experience problems sleeping.

For clients who prefer a liquid supplement, Wish Gardenโ€™s Serious Relaxer Muscle Tension formula contains powerful calming herbs to ease muscular tension and help restore a healthy sleep cycle.

All three formulas are available for pick up at Element.
