Thread: Is there any natural way to treat insomnia ? without using medicine ?

Well you could try melatonin which is a supplement that helps a person sleep. Also sometimes it helps to let your mind wind down by meditation. This can help relieve any stresses that might keep you up.

Solution without drugs? Try this. Go on a housecleaning frenzy. It always works for me. At the very least, I get a spic and span house. Hope this is useful.

You can try passion flower or valerian supplements to help with your sister's insomnia problem. They are completely natural and rather safe. You should also get your sister to cut down on caffeine intake (If any) by drinking little or no coffee or such stimulating drinks.

That is a very good solution! Who wouldn't love a clean house?

And your husband or wife, as the case might be, would love you for it, too. Come to think of it, nothing beats a round of good loving for a good night's sleep. As they say, there is the sleep of the just and the sleep of the just after.

Insomnia, as I understand, is not just a physical problem where you can't sleep. There is a psychological factor to this problem. We can do all the things that are mentioned by previous members but that won't totally solve the problem. We must also treat the psychological problem for this illness not to come back.

Yes, you have a point there. Insomnia, like any other medical disorder, has got both psychological as well as physiological contributing factors. In the case of insomnia, problems lurking in the sub-conscious play a part in deprivation of much-needed sleep and rest. Some people find meditation an effective remedy.

I read somewhere that reading humorous books help. If it doesn't make you sleep, then at least it makes your insomnia hours amusing. There's humor in the way he said it, as you can see. Second way would be to drink green tea, and keep coffee out of your life. Green tea has a magical way of calming down our nerves. Maybe that works differently in other people, but it definitely works for me (not that I have insomnia). Classical music is #3. It's very relaxing, and drowse-inducing. What would be #4 is having an aquarium at home. When insomnia attacks, just sit down watch the fishes.

I realize it has a psychological aspect, too, but some good exercise in the late afternoon will help your body to be ready to stop when you get ready to go to bed. I was having this problem. I would be tired physically, but when I would lay down my mind was wide awake. By accident I discovered that it is associated with an allergy to wheat that I have. Whenever I eat a considerable amount of wheat products, this happens. When I cut back on the wheat, I don't have any problem sleeping.
