It is difficult to overestimate the importance of sedatives in our time, which is rich in both negative (difficult psychological situations, family and work conflicts) and positive emotional shocks (entry to college, promotion, birth of a child). Drugs from the group of sedatives (from the Latin sedatio - calm) have a regulatory effect on the functions of the central nervous system - increasing inhibition processes or lowering the level of excitation, eliminating the effects of stress.

Sedatives include various synthetic and natural substances. According to WHO, up to 80% of the world's population prefer to be treated with natural herbal remedies. A prominent representative of this group of drugs is the drug Alora, which, according to the instructions for use, can be used both in adult practice and pediatrics.
