The #1 Muscle That Eliminates Joint And Back Pain, Anxiety And Looking Fat
By Mike Westerdal CPT
Can you guess which muscle in your body is the #1 muscle that eliminates joint and back pain, anxiety and looking fat?
This is especially important if you spend a significant amount of time sitting every day (I do, and this really affects me in a big way!)
Working this "hidden survival muscle" that most people are simply not training because no-one ever taught them how will boost your body shape, energy levels, immune system, sexual function, strength and athletic performance when unlocked.
If this "hidden" most powerful primal muscle is healthy, we are healthy.
Is it...
a) Abs
b) Chest
c) Glutes
d) Hip Flexors

Yes! This recipe is for anyone who hasn’t stepped outside conventional pharmacology. The bounty with which it is chosen from holds much to be explored. How restorative you will experience, once you flee from those who wish to entice you. Cheers to good health!
I am your first comment and it is an honor for me to be so blessed. Herbal remedies have been used for thousands of years in every culture and country. Our body can easily recognize the specific herb for a specific part of the body. Herbs are tonics and some are relaxants and others affect hormones but they all do one thing. They help bring the body into homeostasis without the collateral damage of drug therapy. Holistic CHef Barry
Thank you! I Love Making This!
I was all excited to find a natural sleep aid till I saw the first ingredient, valerian. I’ve found that anything with valerian in it gives me very bad dreams – always.
I recently started using Valerian root extract because my nerves had been shot lately and I haven’t been sleeping to well. I bought Mason natural Relax and sleep at my local pharmacy. It has Valerian root extract, passion flower, celery seed powder, catnip powder, hops powder, dried orange peel. It does wonder’s! It takes a while to kick in but worth it! I was looking for something similar to Xanax and this is it! I take 4 tablets and within2-4 hrs. I am calm and or sleeping. I highly reccomend this!!
If you are taking medication make sure that you check that you can take valerian, or anything else prescription, over the counter or herbal. I had major side effect because it was interfering with my prescription medication.
I d like to join up for email can you help me

Thanks
I agree with Sally. There are a lot of medications that valerian will interfere with. You really should check regarding anything natural or otherwise before combining it with your prescription medication.
Is this recipe safe for someone that is pregnant? I am about 8 weeks pregnant and have been have extreme difficulty sleeping. Please help!
