Insomnia Symptoms

Today our lives are more hectic than they’ve ever been. We hurry through our jam-packed day and then wonder why we just can’t relax at night. Is it any wonder that we have trouble settling down and falling asleep at night?

The next time you find yourself tossing and turning, try one of these insomnia herbal remedies. They may just be your answer!

Lavender has been a relaxation aid for centuries. Lavender is said to help slow nerve impulses and that leads to a release of tension and can then encourage sleep. Whether it is sprinkled or sprayed onto linens, present in your bath oil, or in your laundry softener, give lavender a try.

Chamomile is another age-old remedy. It has been a sleep-inducing aid for years and years. Look for chamomile tea at your local market and have a hot cup of chamomile tea before retiring.

Lemon balm can be quite soothing and has a very pleasant, fresh smell. It can be taken as a tea or in tablet form.

As with anything of a medical nature, consult your physician for advice on proper treatment. You should consult your physician before undertaking any self-treatment of your insomnia. Herbal supplements should not be taken for the purpose of treating insomnia or any other sleep problem unless approved by a physician. Herbal remedies mentioned above are for adults only.
