Homemade herbal remedies for insomnia?

Question

I'm trying to find a good, make-it-yourself herbal remedy for an insomniac. Simple or difficult, anything goes. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated; doctoral medicine doesn't fare well with me!

Answer 1

Natural remedies include warm milk, melatonin, valerian, 5-HTP and others that you can find in a web search for "natural sleep remedies".

Answer 2

Herbal is good, but u have to take them for a longer period.

Answer 3

Hello my name is Georgina I'm using a glandular combine with a complex B supplememnts in maybe 2 days you will get excellent sleep. Anothing that use before for me and patients is flower essence, but with this you have to be very specific because if you use the wrong flower essence normaly doesn't work.

if you want to ask another questions please feel free to visit my site www.naturalcures4u.net or email me [e-mail] sometimes it takes me few days to answer.

Answer 4

Foods rich in Tryptophan will help induce natural sleep and aid in reducing anxiety and tension.

Avoid caffeine for a few hours before bedtime too.

foods rich in Tryptophan are ~ bananas, cottage cheese, milk, meat, fish, turkey, bananas, dried dates, peanuts and all protein rich foods ............. turkey sandwiches for supper may just do the trick buddy......... :0)

Have a soothing cup of organic loose leaf chamomile tea ~ this could be the sleep remedy you need too♥

The tea bag and commercial varieties of herbal teas such as chamomile tea could never be of any therapeutic value as they have had so much of the essential oils pulverised from them .......... only organic will do buddy ♥

Also, try putting a few drops of pure essential lavender oil into a warm bath and soak in that for 15 minutes just before bedtime ~ the lavender oil is a great natural stress reliever and will relax you enormously ♥

For more difficult insomnia, try 1mg of melatonin sublingually (dissolved under the tongue) 15 minutes before bedtime♥any good health food store will be able to provide you with all these things♥

Naturally resolving the problem will always be the best way .... :0)

hope this helps you a bit ♥

cheers

Answer 5

You  might like to try valerian with chammomile- valerian is wonderful for putting some to sleep, but it doesn't work for everybody. Kava Kava root can have a very tranquilizing effect- but again, not necessarily on everyone. I personally use kava kava root as an anti-depressant, but my mom can have the slightest amount and be out for hours. The root should be simmered with a thicker, fattier liquid. When I used milk, I got the  most potent results.

Hope that helps!

Purple Glory, it's a flower you make a tea out of, read it online. It's taken to relax the body, and help with much needed sleep.
