If you or someone you care about is experiencing frequent worry and anxiety or trouble sleeping at night, you are not alone.

Although nobody likes to talk about it, anxiety disorders are the most common mental health problem in Australia, with 1.3 million Australians affected, says the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

Stress in the form of anxiety, worry or depression can profoundly affect our health and quality of life and contribute to every disease known, so this is certainly cause for concern.

With the incredible advances in technology, we are now a 24-hour society with more demands placed on us than ever before in history. It is no wonder then, that the most common cause of insomnia is stress and the inability to switch off an over-active mind. Sound familiar? 

Is worry and anxiety raising its ugly head?

While worry and anxiety are basic emotions common to all of us as human beings, the difference is how we let them affect us. For some, these emotions are like temporary visitors who enter our homes, create a stir for a short while and then leave as easily and quickly as they came in, taking all their belongings with them and not leaving anything behind.

They get things "moving and shaking" so to speak, by helping us to perform and achieve better and get things done on time. For some people, nothing happens without them! Used this way, these emotions can be a powerful motivating force.

For others, they do not only visit, we allow them to take permanent residence in our homes, doing as they please and reaking havoc. This not only disturbs our peace of mind and prevents us from sleeping properly in many cases, but also turns our world into a dark unfriendly place. Left to run wild, it can eventually destroy us.

Taming the monster within for emotional fitness!

The good news is there is something we can do about it. There are so many positive healthy ways to relax, the trick is to find what works best for us and do what we enjoy the most. Then it is up to us to schedule these activities and do them often enough to make a difference. Although it is certainly a mindshift and may be challenging for some to take time for ourselves or indulge in "non-productive activities" during the working week (and I am guilty of this myself!) I challenge you to treat relaxation with the same level of priority and importance as your work. You deserve it and will feel so much better for it! 

For some, this means regular meditation, yoga or pilates, tai chi, dancing to music that inspires you, walking along the beach, relaxing massage or bath with aromatic oils etc Remember this is not just a luxury or indulgence - our state of mind is the very fabric of our lives and affects everything. Without our health we have nothing. These days we call it "emotional fitness." Being fit on a physical level is only one part of the equation- in today's world we must look at our health on a more holistic level if we truly want to be healthy.

So NOW is the time to take positive steps in the direction of your mental wellbeing. With that in mind, I invite you to sit down right now and make a list of all the things that make you feel calm, blissful, joyful, uplifted, content. Then the next time worry and anxiety raises its ugly head, go straight to your list and DO one of those activities! Even if it means just closing your eyes and taking a few deep breaths. And then notice what a difference it makes for the rest of your day. You will be amazed.

Read on for a wonderful soothing herbal solution to instantly feel calm and help you to unwind at night or enjoy anytime you feel stressed...

A Natural Stress and Sleep Solution to calm the nerves & promote restful sleep

Calli night was created to help us relax and get the most from our sleeping and resting hours. It combines the best of the Calli base (see "What is Calli Tea"at the end of this article) with special soothing ingredients designed to help relax the mind and calm the spirit, allowing the body to rest.

A superior and exclusive concentrated formula, this special tea enhances the quality of relaxation, allowing the body to get the rest needed to awake refreshed and energetic, ready to face the challenges and gifts of a new day with renewed clarity and focus.

A very different Calli formula with a delicate aroma and taste, this all natural formula has no added caffeine, allowing us to get a good nights sleep.

Sip before bedtime or drink a cup during the day to reduce stress, for relaxation when needed.

All the ingredients for a good nights sleep

Calli Night contains a balanced combination of Passion flower, Ho Shou Wu, Jujube seed, Poria, Camellia leaf, Sage root, Rose hip, Imperate root and Winter melon seed.

Following is some basic information about some of these special herbs that all work together to provide us with a superb formula to enrich our lives.

Passion flower: is a pure and natural mild sedative.

Useful to calm the nerves and blood pressure. It is traditionally used to alleviate neuralgia and insomnia.

Ho Shou Wu: The longevity tonic…. It has been used through the centuries in the Orient as a rejuvenator and sexual tonic, at the same time being relaxing and sleep inducing. Taken regularly it is said to restore hair colour. This herb offers generative energy, increasing sperm count in men and fertility in women. Many of the remarkable benefits of this herb come from its ability to cleanse the blood of toxins, which has a strong rejuvenating effect. Clinical studies have shown it to increase lipid metabolism, thereby lowering cholesterol and also to improve the body’s ability to metabolise glucose.

Jujube Seed: Nourishing to the heart and liver and calming to the nerves, therefore useful for insomnia, irritability, anxiety and stress.

Poria: Breaks up moisture and promotes diuresis. Benefits stomach, spleen and digestion. It is a calmative, nervine and emollient. It is useful where there is a tendency to hold water, where there is difficulty urinating, for cellulite, diarrhea and vomiting. Used for apprehension, insomnia and forgetfulness. It is a good source of potassium.

The ancient art of tea re-discovered

Always remember that the secret to a successful combination of herbs lies in the synergy that is created...the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Creating synergy requires an extensive knowledge of herbs from centuries of empirical understanding as well as knowledge of biochemistry and pharmacy. 

While herbal teas have been enjoyed in China and the rest of Asia for their health benefits for thousands of years, Dr Tei Fu Chen advances the ancient art of tea-making with a special spray dry process to craft Calli herbal beverage. Our unique concentration method enhances the release of tea catechins, antioxidants and bioflavonoids in a way that isnt possible with traditional grinding. Rich in flavour and nutrients, Calli is a modern "super- tea."

The virtues of drinking tea have been spoken about a long time ago. In 1860 British Prime Minister William Gladstone said of tea, it was said that “ ïf you are cold, tea will warm you; if you are heated, it will cool you; if you are depressed, it will cheer you; if you are excited it will calm you.”

In 1991 the New York times declared that “tea could become a popular and potent weapon in the war against chronic diseases.”

Calli night comes in boxes of 60 or 10 bags and each bag makes 1 litre pot of relaxing tea that will calm the nerves and promote restful sleep.

Appendix: What is Calli Tea?

Calli tea is a unique, highly concentrated blend of exquisite tea leaves and extracts, that naturally assist the body’s own cleansing process. Made without chemical additives, artificial flavours or preservatives, this all natural delicious tea contains powerful antioxidants to protect the body from free radicals. Calli tea makes a delicious and healthy replacement for regular teas or coffee.

Unlike many other beverages, Calli is alkaline in nature. In an alkaline environment, impurities are less likely to be absorbed into our bodies’systems during digestion.

And while Calli is neither a dieuretic nor a laxative, it does enhance the removal of wastes and by-products that result from normal digestion and metabolism. Calli therefore assists our body’s natural purification and elimination processes.

All Calli products are formulated to help the body’s natural cleansing process. In a world of environmental pollution as well as chemical by product residues in our food supply, calli is an important addition to even the most basic effort to cleanse and improve overall health and longevity.

Camellia sinensis, a major herb in Calli tea, is known to reduce fat and cholesterol in the body by improving function of the liver. It is a rich source of antioxidants with many beneficial catechins present.

Flavours include regular, mint, cinnamon and night.

What Others Say about Calli...

"With the Calli tea we easily switched from unhealthy drinks, like coffee.  My wife drinks it every day, and she drinks Calli Night to help her sleep.  She’s lost a little weight, and we’ve both noticed that it makes us feel great! Now our daughter is drinking Calli, too."  
G. Henderson/Crystal River, FL

"My mom and dad sent me some Calli tea and some Fortune Delight, they mentioned that it would help me lose weight but I am a skeptic and didnt believe them, so I just drank it to be drinking tea, and within 4 days of starting this drink, I lost 3 whole pounds! I did not change what I ate or anything just added the tea to my daily drinking, and I am no longer skeptical about this WONDERFUL product!! Thank you so much!!!  Bekka E./Springdale, Arkansas 

"I have been very pleasantly surprised how well the Fortune Delight and Calli Tea has worked for me.  Using the drinks has helped me lose that extra layer of fat that has plagued me for some years now"  Barta/Mesa, AZ

"When I began my Sunrider journey, I was broke and could only afford to drink Fortune Delight and Calli. I found they were even cheaper than the lifeless drinks I was already consuming. After 3 weeks of changing absolutely nothing in my life but drinking sunrider teas, my body had dumped 15kgs of fat and waste. I phoned my friend who introduced me to sunrider to tell him how wonderful I was feeling. My self esteem had returned, my anger and negative emotions were gone and I just couldn’t stop smiling. I now eat LOTS of the Sunrider products!" - Michael Pan, Adelaide SA
