An increasing number of people have problems with their sleep, and this is starting to affect their daily activities.
Insomnia prevents you to have enough sleep or not being able to sleep deeply enough, and the body can't recover from the daily stress and activities.
The worst thing is that few of these people try to treat their problems.
Treating insomnia with drugs is not always the best option.
Fortunately, the alternative medicine gives you plenty of options for treating it with a series of herbs.
You can use them without fearing they will cause adverse reactions, as they are 100% natural.
- A good and efficient sleep lasts from 7 to 8 hours and begins, say the researchers, somewhere short before midnight.
This way the body recovers and you feel energized and rested.
- But this does not happen to persons that suffer from insomnia.
Stress related insomnia is wide spread among the cases of sleep problems.
When thinking about stress related insomnia and insomnia in general, you may be thinking about how this affects your general health.
Not necessarily the quantity of sleep is reduced, but particularly the quality.
You may be sleeping the same amount of hours as usual but not feeling as rested as you used to.
The researchers have found three types of insomnia: 1.
Temporary; 2.
Alternate; 3.
Chronic.
The temporary insomnia is short, usually lasting few weeks.
Almost the same thing happens in the case of the alternate insomnia but this one appears periodically.
The chronic insomnia lasts at least a month and occurs every night.
Stress related insomnia is very serious and should be treated as soon as it appears.
Stress causes in the body a reaction called 'fight or run' and this causes an increase in the secretion of adrenalin and other hormones of stress.
This is the result of the events from the day but also because of some drinks and food that you have in the evening and that stimulate the number of the stress hormones.
Sleeping is essential, because if the body doesn't rest enough from time to time and we don't have a chance to relief the metal tension as well, our entire immunitary system will crash.
Here are some plants specially for treating stress related insomnia.
1.
THE VALERIAN is used as somniferous and tranquilizer for over a thousand years.
It has even been compared with hallucinatory substances but, as opposed to these, does not create addiction.
There are some of its compounds that have sedative properties.
One cup of valerian tea just before sleep will induce you a state of sleepiness and will deeply relax you.
This is a very efficient way of treating the stress related insomnia.
2.
THE PASSION FLOWER is a tropical plant used in the 1870's as an easy sedative.
It is very efficient for the stress related insomnia because it reduces the blood pressure and leads to relaxation and a quiet, refreshing, and still sleep.
There are very many plant based products recommended for a good sleep that are made from extract of passion flower.
3.
THE TUTSAN is another stress related insomnia treatment.
From ancient times it was used for neuroses and insomnia.
You can use it as tea, as massage oil, or as tincture.
