Over half of all Americans suffer from some type sleep impending disorder. Whether it be sleep apnea, narcolepsy or delayed sleep syndrome, the bottom line is that we are a nation without rest. With sleeplessness reaching epidemic proportions, many people are sick and tired of being tired, with most individuals willing to try anything for just a few hours of shut-eye. But instead of turning to harmful sleep medication, consider trying simple and effective herbal sleep remedies.
The cost of sleeplessness is immense; sleep offers the body an opportunity to heal and restore. While we are sleeping, our bodies are working hard to regain balance, fix broken links and ward off illness and disease. A body without rest soon becomes a body unable to cope with exposure to everyday germs, toxins and stress. Ultimately, a tired body becomes a very sick body. Sleeplessness is such a huge and constant issue that many people do not even realize that they are in a sleep-crisis.
While the pharmaceutical industry has responded to America’s sleep dilemma with a host of chemically infused sleep cocktails, there are other ways to promote rest and encourage the body to regain its regular rhythm. More and more people, concerned with the side effects of chemical sleep-aids, are turning to natural therapies for relief.
Amongst these natural therapies are herbal sleep remedies. Herbs have been used since the beginning of time for medicinal purposes and are now gaining respect in the western world like never before. Herbalists recommend a number of herbs for the safe and effective relief of insomnia.
Noteworthy Herbal Sleep Remedies
Lavender (Lvandula angustifolia, Lavandula officinalis)
The pleasant and soothing aroma of lavender, a member of the mint family, promotes relaxation and can be a useful in inducing sleep and rest for the restless or those suffering with mild insomnia. Lavender’s sweet smell and intrinsic qualities encourage the body to wind down and release tension, a main contributor to sleeplessness.
People who use lavender as one of many herbal sleep remedies find that they have higher quality sleep and feel rested upon waking. Research indicates that lavender is a safe and effective herb that appears to promote deep and effective sleep, which is essential for wellbeing.
Incorporating lavender into your bedtime ritual is easy as a number of products contain lavender such as pillows, sachets and bed sheet mists. Lavender can also be taken as an extract, tea or used as oil.
California Poppy (Eschscholzia californica)
The bright and beautiful California state flower, a distant relative to the opium poppy, is a beneficial herb for people suffering from insomnia and other sleep-related disorders. Used by the early Native Americans in the California region, this perennial flower served as both food and medicine.
The California poppy, which contains sedative alkaloids, is highly regarded for its ability to soothe the sleepless into slumber. This dainty flower not only induces sleep but also ensures that sleep quality is higher and leaves you, unlike many over-the-counter and prescription sleep aids, feeling energized and ready to take on the day.
Not only for nighttime use, the California poppy is also useful for those experiencing anxiety or stress. This herb naturally promotes a feeling of relaxation while promoting wellness and balance. This sleep aid can be used as a tincture, powder or diffusion.
Herbal Sleep Remedies and Safety
When herbs are used correctly, they can be extremely useful. However, as with any supplement or medication, herbal sleep remedies may not be for everyone. There are certain herbs that should not be taken by children or pregnant and nursing mothers, for instance, while other herbs may not react favorably with prescription drugs you may be taking. To avoid any unnecessary complications, do the necessary research on any specific herb you want to use.
