Insomnia
Insomnia is a condition that is becoming more prevalent in modern society. Stress, lack of proper exercise(30 minute brisk walk 3 times per week) and our diets are very refined, loaded with saturated fats and filled with preservatives and lack fibre. There are numerous other causes of insomnia:
· Over active brain.
· Over exertion.
· Pain.
· Excessive amounts of tea, coffee, alcohol and narcotics.
· Depression
· Inability to switch off mentally.
Treatment.
A deficiency of a mineral salt is one of the main causes of insomnia. This can be replaced by a product called Khali phos which may be obtained at health stores. It is natural and non-addictive but Valerian Root is also an effective remedy.
· ½ teaspoon of cinnamon sprinkled on milk works well.
· Lavender oil rubbed under the feet is an effective therapy.
· Dried Lavender in your pillowcase also works.
What begins happening is you start fearing going to bed. Sleeping pills are NOT the answer, because it upsets the Serotonin and Melatonin levels in the brain, which affects sleep and moods.
