From Dr. James' Teachings
Our nervous system was designed to help us respond to life's challenges. Unfortunately, modern life rarely gives it an opportunity to rest. Work, family, school, technology, constant stimulation, and everyday responsibilities place continual demands on the nervous system. Over time, those demands can leave us feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, or unable to cope with even ordinary stresses.
Think of a home with outdated wiring. You turn on the microwave, then the toaster, and suddenly the breaker trips. The electrical system simply cannot handle the demand being placed upon it. Our nervous system can respond in much the same way when it becomes overtaxed.
Adding Chillin to your daily wellness program is much like rewiring that house. Instead of feeling as though one more responsibility will cause everything to overload, the nervous system is better able to handle the normal demands of everyday life.
Chillin was formulated to provide nutritional support for the nervous system during times of stress. Many people notice a greater sense of calm within a short period of time, allowing them to think more clearly and respond to life's challenges with greater confidence and composure.
Chillin may be used by itself, but it is often paired with Nerquilizer. Together, they provide complementary nutritional support for the nervous system and have become one of my favorite combinations.
From My Own Practice
Both personally and professionally, I most often recommend Chillin together with Nerquilizer. My typical recommendation is twice as much Nerquilizer as Chillin because, together, they seem to create a balance that allows the nervous system to settle while allowing your true personality to shine through.
One of the things I appreciate most about these formulas is that they don't seem to dull the full range of human emotion. People can still experience happiness, sadness, excitement, disappointment, and every other normal emotion, but without feeling as though those emotions are controlling them. Rather than being driven by overwhelming emotional extremes, they often find themselves able to respond thoughtfully and remain in control.
When someone has never used herbal supplements before and wants to experience what herbs can offer, Chillin and Nerquilizer are often the first formulas I introduce. While everyone's experience is different, many people notice subtle changes within as little as twenty minutes. It isn't dramatic or overwhelming. More often, they simply recognize that they feel calmer, clearer, and better able to handle whatever the day brings.
Dosage Guide
The directions on the bottle provide a general recommendation. In my own practice, I view those amounts as a starting point, not a limit. During times of greater discomfort, I adjust the amount and frequency according to the level of support the body seems to need.
A personal note for my clients: If we've worked together recently, please follow the recommendations I gave you during your consultation. They were personalized to your individual health needs, goals, and circumstances and may differ from the general dosage suggestions provided here or on the bottle.
Support Needed
Maintenance
Mild
Moderate
Intensive
Common Amount
1 capsule twice daily
1 capsules three times daily
2 capsules three times daily
3 capsules three times daily
Don't be afraid to take enough to notice a difference. Some people do well with just a few capsules, while others need considerably more. In my practice, it's not unusual for someone with significant discomfort to use up to 40 capsules over the course of a day, then gradually reduce the amount as they begin feeling better.
