Get back to natural sleep

Pascoflair® from Pascoe, made with 425mg dry extract of passiflora incarnata (passionflower) per tablet, has the highest dose of Passionflower extract on the market. It naturally calms and declutters your mind, helping you fall asleep and stay sound asleep through the night. Pascoflair is traditionally used in herbal medicine as a sleep aid in cases of restlessness and insomnia due to mental stress. 

Passionflower (passiflora incarnata) is an herbal remedy, which has been known for centuries as an excellent treatment to help with sleep disturbances. It helps you sleep by turning off all the running thoughts which are going through your mind at bedtime. The mind can relax, which is then followed by the body, and as a result, sleep will follow.

Sleeping Problems? 

Having difficulties falling asleep at bedtime? Waking up frequently during the night and cannot fall asleep again? Feeling tired and grumpy throughout the day and having problems concentrating? 

A 2011 study from Laval University showed that 40% of Canadians have some form of sleep disorder. The most common sleep disorder is insomnia caused by stress. 

A good night’s sleep is essential to a positive and productive day. Lack of sleep may lead to impaired memory, reduced levels of concentration, and low physical performance which affects your ability to perform daily tasks. Experts believe that during sleep, nerve cells in the brain have a chance to repair themselves from extensive use during the day.

Five effective tips for a better sleep:

• Bring a clear structure to your daily routine, and plan time for relaxation

• Train yourself to relax
