AGP Executive Report
Last update: 33 minutes agoNervous System Trends: A new critique says viral “reset” routines—from humming to cold plunges—oversimplify how the nervous system works and may promise more than they can deliver. Sleep Advice: Melatonin may help with some sleep problems, but it is not a fix for every cause of insomnia; a separate pilot study of electroacupuncture for treatment-resistant insomnia noted that its design could not rule out placebo effects. Herbal Safety: A 24-week trial involving 1,200 adults found no treatment-related liver or kidney injury from the tested Ashwagandha extract, but that finding does not guarantee safety for everyone. Readers with kidney disease are also urged to consult their doctor before trying herbs such as haritaki. Back Pain: New guidance favors gentle movement and heat over bed rest for simple acute low-back pain.
