Severe or persistent stress can cause emotional disturbances, which worsens the human condition. Psychological counselling is of paramount importance, however, some people may not have access to a psychologist or psychotherapist in a stressful situation and one has to resort to the medical therapy. 85 patients (mean age 26.5 ± 3.5 years) under professional stress (primary school teachers, nurses) diagnosed with “tension headaches, autonomic dysfunction” were included in the observational study. Patients were explained the causes of the disease, given recommendations on lifestyle and prescribed Valocordin at the dosage of 15 drops 3 times a day for 3 weeks. All patients showed improvement; none of the patients reported difficulty remembering, attention failure, problems talking. 88.3% of patients showed positive effect after 6 months, 61.1% of patients after 9 months and 49.9% of patients after 12 months. Despite disagreements in the medical professional environment, Valocordin remains one of the most popular drugs in patients under stress. The short-term use of Valocordin at therapeutic doses under stress conditions effectively helps to cope with insomnia, increased anxiety, relieves nervous tension and autonomic dysfunction.
