Insomnia Herbal Remedies

Insomnia can have different causes, of both psychological and physiological kind.

Insomnia herbal remedies can fight a wide spectrum of insomnia causes at the same time.

If your insomnia is caused by jet lag or shift working, insomnia herbal remedies can restore the disrupted sleep-wakefulness cycles naturally and safely.

In case of psychological insomnia causes, such as depression, anxiety or stress, insomnia herbal remedies can combat both the cause of insomnia (the emotional disorder) and insomnia itself, as a consequence of such disorder.

The ability to cure both insomnia and its cause make insomnia herbal remedies much better than prescription drugs, as these only deal with insomnia as a symptom, but do not actually heal it, disregarding completely its underlying causes.

Pharmaceutical drugs can just send you off to sleep, but they don't cure the actual causes of insomnia, be they physiological or psychological.

This might be ok for occasional insomnia relief, but in the long run pharmaceutical drugs for insomnia can be very dangerous, as they negatively alter brain biochemistry, already fragile enough because of insomnia.

The disrupted brain biochemistry will result in the bunch of side effects, such as daytime drowsiness, clouded thinking, headaches, low energy, fatigue, loss of enthusiasm, nervousness, irritability, anxiety, depression, and even memory loss.

This will never happen with insomnia herbal remedies, as, instead of disrupting your brain biochemistry, they will restore it back to normal, so you will have sound sleep as well as good emotional health.

The most common psychological causes of insomnia are stress, depression, anxiety, trauma and loss.

Practically all natural insomnia remedies can help you cure these symptoms too, while curing your insomnia.

Natural insomnia remedies can be divided in 4 classes:

1) insomnia herbal remedies

2) amino acids (amino acids are the building blocks of protein, normal constituent of our diets. They are 100% natural substances and may be especially beneficial for those who don’t ingest enough good quality protein with their diets.)

3) vitamins and minerals

4) hormones and lipids

These natural remedies have multiple therapeutical effects.

For example, natural remedy amino acid tryptophan and herbal remedy St John’s Wort will fight insomnia, depression and anxiety. Same will do 5-HTP, the derivative of tryptophan. These remedies will brighten your mood, give you more energy for the day and more peace for the night.

Insomnia herbal remedies valerian, passion flower, hops, damiana and kava, and amino acids GABA, Glycine and Taurine, will cool down anxiety, providing pleasant sensations of inner comfort and well-being.

Smaller doses of these natural supplements can be used as day time anxiety cures, while larger dosages will combat your insomnia and send you off to sleep in a safe and natural way.

They will improve the quality of your sleep, too, providing more deep and restful sleep (and better mood and personal efficiency the next day).

Actually, these insomnia remedies can be used in virtually any case of insomnia, as they will calm down your nervous system and thus allow you to unwind and fall asleep easily.

Have you suffered a lot of acute stress recently, or stress is your long-term life partner? In this case insomnia herbal remedies like Ashwagandha, Schisandra and L-Theanine will not only relieve your insomnia, but also enhance your stress-coping abilities and restore the optimal functioning of body-mind, giving you more equanimity, inner balance, brighter mood, clearer thinking and greater energy.

Herbal remedy Fo-ti can cure not only insomnia, but also nightmares! And it’s a potent anti-stress agent, too!

Is jet lag your problem or you are working in shifts? Natural brain hormone melatonin can do wonders in restoring your sleep-wakefulness cycles, and so will do its precursors, tryptophan and 5-HTP.

Melatonin is our “sleep” hormone, and its production reduces with stress and ageing. Fortunately, it is available now in the form of supplement.

B-vitamins will strengthen your nervous system, and in so doing will combat the symptoms of stress, depression, anxiety and of course insomnia. Vitamin Inositol, minerals Calcium and Magnesium will aid relaxation, ease muscle tension and support proper functioning of nervous system, thus helping combat insomnia and its causes.

As you can see, whatever might be the cause of your sleep problems, you can cure both your insomnia and its underlying causes with insomnia herbal remedies and other organic supplements in a safe and natural way.

Insomnia herbal remedies and other body-native supplements do not cause dependence or coming-off crisis, and you are unlikely to develop tolerance, i.e. the need for the doses larger than initial. The side effects of insomnia herbal remedies and other natural supplements are minimal to nonexistent.
