My Journey with Pascoe Canada - Part Three

Before I started on my journey with Pascoe Canada, I was exhausted! Sleep was something I craved, I felt restless, and my moods were all over the map. I wondered if I could ever get myself back on track with regular sleep patterns. I was excited for a positive change, and Pascoflair was the perfect opportunity to get back to natural sleep. In my final post for this series, I'm happy to share my thoughts on the product, who I would recommend this to, and where you can find Pascoflair to try yourself.
I have been using Pascoflair for five weeks, and have already seen huge changes in several ways. I am sleeping more soundly, and I fall asleep faster than ever before. I’m not sleeping 8-10 hours a night, but my quality of sleep has greatly improved, which means a lot to me. I can get back to sleep quickly if I wake up in the middle of the night.
As a light sleeper, I always struggled with going back to sleep in the past. Throw in stress and a restless mind, and it potentially leads to a night of tossing and turning! Thankfully, I haven’t dealt with much of this since taking Pascoflair.
If you haven’t been reading my posts about Pascoflair, this amazing product consists of a high-dose herbal Passionflower (425 mg) that is traditionally used in herbal medicine. It helps to relieve symptoms of sleeplessness, stress and restlessness, and starts to work within 30 minutes of taking the pill! I take it first thing in the morning, and 30 minutes before I go to sleep. It’s simple, and fits easily into my daily routine.

One of the great improvements I have seen is on my mood. I deal with a lot of stress, and juggle a very busy schedule. I’m the first to admit that at times, it can be difficult to be cheerful and calm 24/7. Pascoflair has honestly helped to keep me grounded and calm. I’m sure getting more rest has helped, and the combination of both has benefitted me more than I can possibly write about.
Another huge change I noticed is that I have more energy since I started taking Pascoflair. With the added energy, I have tackled several projects that took up a great deal of my time and effort. Having more energy has helped me get more accomplished, get outside for workouts, and be more productive.
We have had some dark and gloomy days lately, coupled with chilly weather. It can be draining and unmotivating, but thankfully, I still managed to keep myself active and motivated!
Incorporating Pascoflair into my routine has helped me get back to natural sleep, but there are other ways to get a better night of rest. Here are a few tips to help you get quality rest, and fall asleep faster:
1.      Power down and remove distractions from your nightly routine that can overstimulate your brain, and keep you up late! Walk away from your laptop, smartphone, and TV a few hours before bedtime. For social media lovers like myself, this is difficult, but it’s amazing how relaxing it is to not have several screens to distract you from much needed rest for your body and mind.

2.      Unwind with a relaxing bath and music after dinner. Again, I speak for myself, but having a bubble bath, a great book or magazine, and soft music is incredibly relaxing. Removing the stress and craziness of a busy day is the perfect way to get ready for bedtime.

3.      Limit your caffeine intake to 1-2 cups of coffee per day, and avoid caffeine after 2:00 PM. Caffeine takes a while to wear off, and can affect your sleep patterns. Where possible, limit your caffeine consumption to the morning hours and early afternoon at the latest.

4.     Try to eat several smaller meals throughout the day, and cut off your food intake by 7:00 PM at the latest. The temptation to snack during your evening TV programs is huge, but you’ll feel it when you struggle with sleep at night. The combination of poor sleep patterns and late night eating can cause weight gain!

I have seen how Pascoflair has had a positive impact on my health and well-being. Going from being exhausted and frustrated to rested and cheerful is the best feeling, and I would do it again in a heartbeat. For anyone who is dealing with sleep issues or stress, I recommend that you try this product. It’s been a total gamechanger for me!

My Journey With Pascoflair and Pascoe Canada - Part Two


A few weeks ago I started my Pascoflair journey with Pascoe Canada. As I mentioned in my previous post, my sleep patterns are terrible. Getting 8-10 hours of sleep is something that happens only when I'm sick! I wanted to try Pascoflair to see if I could get some much needed rest, and ease up on my stress and restlessness. Was I going to see results quickly? Could this product help me fall asleep easier? Keep reading to find out!

The day I received my package, I took my first Pascoflair pill after dinner. I was cautiously optimistic, and resigned to the fact that I might have to wait to see results. Within 30 minutes, I was pleasantly surprised at how relaxed I felt! My life is busy, and I deal with a lot of stress. I know this contributes to my erratic sleep patterns, because I find hard to turn off and unwind easily after a long day.

The best way to describe how I felt was that it's like a weight had physically been removed from my shoulders. As a caregiver, there isn't a dollar amount I can put on a feeling like that, It's priceless.
I loved how calm I felt after taking Pascoflair. This is the Passionflower element in the product that starts working within 30 minutes to calm the brain. I knew, however, that the true test for me would be how Pascoflair would affect my sleep patterns. Anyone suffering from sleep deprivation and restlessness knows it's hard to be alert, cheerful and productive after a night of tossing and turning.

After taking Pascoflair, I was falling asleep faster than I ever did before. I'm not getting 8-10 hours of sleep, but after taking the pills twice a day as directed for two weeks, my quality of rest has improved, and I'm sleeping longer than before. If I do wake up, I am able to get back to sleep easier. This is a huge accomplishment for me.

It's still early in the journey, but I'm happy with the path that I am on to getting back to natural sleep. I'm feeling calmer, my rest is more productive, and I'm not waking up feeling exhausted and overwhelmed. I'm a cheerful person by nature, but I felt like I was in  a rut for a while. Pascoflair has helped me find my groove again, and it's a great feeling.
I don't take any product without doing my research and homework. Personally, I try to take as few prescription medications and over the counter products as possible. Of course, there are times when we desperately need to rely on special medications when we're sick. In those instances, I am definitely going to do what's necessary to get rid of my symptoms.

Knowing this is a natural health product is a definite bonus for me. What I love about Pascoflair is that there is no potential for dependency, and it has no potential toxic effects for my body. I feel safe taking it, even when I'm using another type of medication when necessary.

I never knew how lack of sleep could have such a profound affect on me until I started suffering from terrible sleep patterns! Proper rest is key to a positive and productive day. Lack of sleep can lead to impaired memory, poor concentration, and low energy that affects your ability to perform daily tasks. I have been there, and it's a terrible feeling. 

I know I'm not the only person who struggles with getting some quality rest at night. For those who are fighting the sleep battle, here are some helpful tips to get a better night of sleep:
  1. Bring structure to your daily routine, and plan time to relax. Recharge your body and mind with quality rest.
  2. Delegate responsibility. I know it's hard, because I struggle with it, too! Shifting responsibilities to others helps to remove stress and pressure off yourself.
  3. Participate in outdoor activities. Going outside for a walk, run, hike, or whatever your favourite activity is helps you tune out and focus on your health and well-being!
  4. Train yourself to relax. It's easier said than done, but taking the time to chill out during a busy day is a great way to decompress and stay calm.
  5. When necessary, accept therapeutic help. If you can't keep your anxiety and stress in check, or have trouble sleeping, there are people who can help. You're not alone, and it's OK to admit that you need help getting back on track.
I'm on my way to getting back on track to better sleep, but my journey is far from over. How do you deal with lack of sleep? Do you have a tried and true way of getting to sleep? I would love to hear your thoughts and tips! Stay tuned for my next update, when I share my final thoughts on my Pascoflair journey. Hope you all have a great sleep, and sweet dreams!

My Pascoflair Journey with Pascoe Canada - Part One

One of the things I struggle with on a regular basis is sleep deprivation, and terrible sleep patterns. As a working woman and caregiver who juggles a busy schedule, I deal with many challenges. One major hurdle is trying to get a good night's sleep! Having to be on and alert most of the time means my stress level increases, sleep patterns fall low, and restlessness kicks in. I have tried sleep aid products in the past, but none were effective. When Pascoe Canada reached out to me to try Pascoflair, I jumped at the opportunity to see if I could get a better night of sleep! Timing is everything, and in this case, it was perfection.

Pascoe Canada is the Canadian division of Pascoe, an international laboratory and natural pharmaceutical company based in Germany. All of the products are made in Germany, and approved by Health Canada. A world leader in natural medicine, Pascoe has manufactured homeopathic and phytotherapeutic products for over a century.

What exactly is Pascoflair? It is a high-dose herbal Passionflower (425 mg) that is traditionally used in herbal medicine (in cases of restlessness or insomnia, due to mental stress.) It starts to work within 30 minutes to relieve symptoms such as sleeplessness, stress, and restlessness.
For someone who deals with these symptoms on a daily basis, Pascoflair is definitely worth trying. I try to take as few prescription and over the counter medications as possible, and used to visit a naturopath on a regular basis in the past. If there is a way of treating symptoms effectively using natural medicine, I'm always going to try it.

You might be wondering what benefit there is to taking Pascoflair, over other sleep aid products you can get in stores, or prescribed by a doctor. What I love and appreciate about Pascoflair is that it is a natural health product authorized for sale by Health Canada. The Passionflower ingredient starts working quickly to calm the brain, and improves sleep onset due to stress. You won't get the 'hangover effect' that you might feel from taking a sleeping pill, or liquid sleep aid. I tried a sleeping pill once, and I'll never forget how drained I felt afterwards. It was like drinking several glasses of wine! I haven't tried any over the counter sleep aids since.

I will be on my own Pascoflair journey for the next two months, and look forward to sharing my progress on social media as part of a three-part series. I'll update readers on my journey, my thoughts on the product, what improvements I have/have not seen, and tips that can help others get the rest they need at night.

Sleep is something we all need to regenerate our bodies and minds. For many people, the struggle to get a good night's rest is very real. My battle with sleep has been rough, and I know there are many other people who face the same problem. How do you deal with sleep issues? I would love to hear your thoughts, tips, or suggestions in the comments below.
