Insomnia
I have had chronic sleep problems for about 10 years. It was suggested to me to try Withania for the sleep problem. Can you offer any other suggestions/preparations?
Natural therapies that may be helpful for insomnia:
- Brauer Nervatona Calm contains homeopathics that may help give the nervous system better integrity while gently relaxing the body.
- Sedative herbs include: Chamomile, Valerian, Passionflower and Zizyphus.
- Chamomile homeopathic preparation from Boiron is also a lovely gentle sedative.
- Magnesium and Calcium supplementation may help to ensure that the nerves, muscles and mind are relaxed to ensure better sleep cycles.
- Other vitamins and minerals which may be of benefit are the family of B Vitamins, zinc, anti-oxidants and Selenium.
- Melatonin 6x, this is another homeopathic containing a tincture of an important hormone that stimulates the Pituitary Gland to correct sleep disruptions and normalise sleep cycles.
If you take a new product please begin by taking only one tablet for a few days to ascertain whether it will be of assistance to you and not cause an allergic reaction. I recommend getting an allergy test so you have a better understanding of what you are sensitive to.
