Natural sleep formula for a sleep disorder ;
The inability to fall asleep or stay asleep without waking
up in the middle of the night for extended periods of time is know as insomnia.
Failure to get an entire night sleep over a period of a month would be
classified as chronic insomnia.
While insomnia is very annoying it is not considered dangerous though in some
cases tiredness may lead to accidents.
Every persons sleep requirements are different some require 8 hours and more
while others can function on as little as 5 hours of sleep. Most adults require
about 8 hours of sleep to feel refreshed and operate and peak performance during
the day. Children require more sleep and some older people require less.
Insomnia can result from a wide variety of causes, including stress, anxiety,
nervousness, bladder problems, pain, arthritis, asthma, breathing problems,
hypoglycemia, hyperthyroidism, indigestion, kidney problems, liver disorders,
caffeine consumption, diet, side effects of drugs including many
antidepressants, chemical appetite suppressants, beta blockers in medication for
high blood pressure and lack of exercise and a lack of nutrients.
Restless leg syndrome may also result in insomnia, when in bed the legs
tend to jerk and twitch. This condition is thought to a condition of a lack of
exercise and/or a lack of magnesium.
Sleep apnea this condition is commonly associated with snoring and
irregular breathing while sleeping. In sleep apnea, breathing actually stops for
as long as two minutes at a time while the individual is asleep. When breathing
stop the level of oxygen in the blood drops, resulting in oxygen deprivation.
The individual then awakens gasping for breath. A person with sleep anemia may
awaken as many as couple of hundred times a night. People with sleep apnea tend
to high blood pressure and tend to prone to emotional stress. This condition can
be very dangerous with the risk that the individual may not wake up to start
breathing.
For the most part sleep problems are associated with an underlying health or
emotional problem. So it is important to treat the body as a whole physically
and emotionally in addition to using herbs that help relax the body and mind.
Natural Sleep Remedy Recommendation Include:
1. Do not drink coffee even in the morning. Coffee
has a "half life" of 24 hours and may keep you up that night. Avoid alcohol,
tobacco (nicotine is a neurostimulant and can cause sleep problems).
2. Eat fresh raw fruits and vegetables with whole grains. Avoid rich
heavy meals before bedtime such as saturated fats, fried foods, sugar, red meat
and meat/starch combinations.
3. Exercise regularly in the late afternoon or early evening a few hours
before bed time. A tired body will tend to be sleepy. Try and get into a regular
sleep pattern. Waking up and going to bed at the same time each day.
4. Stress control and stress management are important. Learn to forget
your worries for the night. Nothing can be done while you sleep.
5. Use a natural sleep remedy made from mild, non addictive herbs. If
problems persist, consult your health practitioner and be aware that there may
be other underlying health problems, stress, diet or lack of exercise.

Sleep Aid Herbal Formula
Made from all natural herbs supplied in a vegetarian capsule.
Insomnia can result from a wide variety of reasons including muscle aches,
indigestion, breathing problems, pain, depression and even side effects of
medication. Sleep Aid is suitable for short term sleep problems only. A natural sleep remedy uses nervine herbs that promote
relaxation, a clam mid and support the nervous system without any narcotic or
addictive properties.
There is nothing wrong with using herbs as a natural sleep remedy. But If you
require to take herbs as a natural sleep remedy (which are mild with no side
effects) for extended periods of time of a couple of months and more, just to
fall asleep and/or function. Then you should be aware that there is probably a
more serious underlying health problem that needs to be addressed.
Natural sleep remedy herbs :
Valerian : Valerian is a relaxant herb that has a calming effect on the nervous
system. For insomnia it helps induce sleep quickly, decreasing the amount of
time taken to fall asleep. Valerian like some drugs modulates GABA receptors
which are present in 40 of the brains cells. Over activity is thought o cause
nervousness and insomnia. But valerian acts in a milder manner with no side
effects, grogginess or addiction.
Chamomile *: Chamomile is known as a mild herb but can be surprisingly
effective. It promote sleep with tranquilizing action similar to some drugs.
Chamomile also helps reduce stress related chemicals in the brain and promotes
adrenal health. *Note : best not used for extended periods without a break.
Avoid it if you are allergic to ragweed.
Passionflower : Works with the body to create to balance for exhaustion,
overwork, anxiety, stress, drugs, alcohol, asthma, cough and pain related
insomnia. Acts as a mild MAO inhibitor without the hangover or sedative
properties.

Mood Aid Herbal Formula
Work with the body in a gentle holistic approach.
Some researches believe that "depression" can be
caught. The research notes that if one person in a group or partner is
depressed, then the other will be effected. So start with a good attitude and
try an all natural herbal supplement to help.
Some herbs have tranquilizing and mood elevating effects, like prescription drugs.
However herbs are much milder and work with the body in a gentle holistic approach, without the deadening of emotions.
Herbs can also help address many of the underlying causes of depression.
Herbs that act as mood elevators:
Some herbs have tranquilizing and mood elevating effects, like prescription
drugs. However herbs are much milder and work with the body in a gentle holistic
approach, without the deadening of emotions.
Herbs can also help address many of the underlying causes of depression. Herbs
with Nervine properties can act as a tonic for the nervous system. Other herbs
help improve blood supply to the brain or act as adaptogens helping to balance
the immune system.
St Johns Wort : St Johns Wort helps to inhibit the enzyme monoamine
oxidase (MAO), just as prescription drugs do, but it dose it more slowly and
mildly. It also helps modulate and balance the brain chemicals serotonin and
norepinephrine, much the same way as medication dose, except once again in a
much milder manner. It may also increase endorphin levels and help to improve
mood and decreases sadness, hopelessness and exhaustion. Although hypercicin was
identified as the active ingredient in St John Wort, it is no longer believed
that hypericin works alone. As is the case with most herbs, a complex interplay
of many compounds is believed to be responsible for the beneficial effects. For
this reason avoid Standardized Herbs, and use the whole herb.
Skullcap : Tones and nourishes the nervous system. Used with serious
mental exhaustion, depression and prolonged sickness. Also aids in calming
tension and stress. Also helps improve sleep patterns.

Emergency Flower Essence Formula
Natural, gentle formula for emotional distress, stress, shock, and emotional
emergencies. No side effects.
Flower essence is one of nature's own natural emotion remedies. Ideal for
children, adults and pets. Taken orally Flower essences work at the “energy anatomy” level of the body in a similar way
to acupuncture.
The benefits of working in this way include the fact that there are no “side
effects”, or “contra indications”, they can be mixed with any other form of
medication with no risk.
Another benefit of working at the energy anatomy level is that flower essences
are subtle yet at the same time powerful. They do not “hit you over the head”.
Since the time of Dr Edward Bach hundreds, even thousands of sets of flower
essences have been made all over the world.
Each country has a unique energy, and the plants that grow in each country have
a contribution to make to world healing.
In order to help people heal the effects of living in stressful times, the plant
kingdom has brought new healing formulas for us to use.
